Kerry looks smaller ... did he shrink?
Reagans shadow overwhelms a dim Kerry.
I wonder what Mr Reagan was supposed to do about AIDS? Spending on research was higher than even funding for cancer research. Was he supposed to shut down the bath houses etc? Yeah, that would have went over big.
They can now blame their forthcoming loss in the presidential election on Reagan, thus absolving themselves.
So be it. Let's go ahead and win one for the Gipper!
Still, as one national Democrat lamented privately yesterday, Reagan trumps everything: "You turn on the network news this morning, and suddenly it's not 'More deaths in Iraq' or 'The latest on the prison-abuse scandal' anymore. TV does emotion well, and the death of a popular president is emotional. That's the story line. We can't compete with that."
No comment.
Is there any way to read this other than a desire to see more deaths in Iraq, and more coverage of the prison abuse scandal? I wish there would be a link to these comments by the unnamed national Democrat,'cause I'd like to stick that comment down a few throats.
Absolutely!
Poor J.F'n Kerry is gonna have a tough time this summer.
It's bad enough that NOBODY wants him -his only 'supporters' are only trying to get rid of President Bush.
And now, with President Reagans' passing, the country is getting an excellent reminder of what a REAL man and a REAL leader is. Fresh into the election.
What a bummer, John. Better go home and see what Gomez and Morticia want....
"Bush - who has long portrayed himself as the heir to Reagan's legacy."
W himself did this? I thought others tried to say so, but not W himself.
"Maybe Democrats can find a way to suggest that Bush is no Ronald Reagan, that Bush isn't fit to fill the man's shoes"
Well, they'd be correct. Bush *is* no Reagan, no matter how pretty darn good he is. But that mite only make Dems look silly, since Bush would look more left if compared to Reagan. Not right. It's pretty funny if Dems start harrumphing about how great Reagan was compared to Bush - Reagan is the very antithesis of liberal belief!
As it is, regardless of motivation, I still think it was pretty decent of Kerry to "shut up" for the time being. It shows some class and respectability.
So let's just say Kerry's no Clinton, either!
Nonsense. I don't think Bush measures up to Reagan, but he doesn't need to to benefit from Reagan's memory. Or win the election. My gripes about Bush wouldn't make me choose Kerry in a millionty-jillion years, and they won't make me stay home.
Has anybody else wondered if this is going to help tarnish Clinton's book release? Maybe too far apart, but I'm guessing thoughts of Reagan are going to drift through the public consciousness for quite some time, and the comparison with Clinton won't be flattering to the latter.
By next month, Reagan will disappear from the media, and by November this will have little impact. Thoughtful people already understand the difference between Bush and Kerry, but a lot of voters are merely swayed by the latest trend. Much depends on whether the press will succeed in its campaign of villifying Bush with a new propaganda attack every week from now until next November. Will they succeed, or will they destroy their own credibility?
There's little or no chance that the liberals will repent and change their ways. If the liberals lose the election, they will learn nothing from it. They will simply get even angrier and their lies will get even louder.
According to the Dems, Kerry's strongpoint.
I wonder how the counrtries he calls the 'fraudulent coalition' feel about this?
Here we have it folks. President Reagan's passing has interrupted the Dims 24/7 Bush Bash. And they can't stand it.
Here's how the Dims think:
Good for America - Good for Bush - BAD
Bad for America - Bad for Bush - GOOD
These sorry excuses for humanity...they as much as admit here that they want more deaths in Iraq...Amerian deaths.
"that Reagan (unlike Bush) confessed error, declaring, after a truck bomb killed 241 Marines in Lebanon, that 'if there is to be blame... it properly rests here in this office and with this president. I accept responsibility for the bad as well as the good.'"
Now I'm confused. What error? Reagan erred by "letting" some Moslems blow up the barracks?
LOL, Kerry will emerge from the shadow of Reagan, just before he is totally eclipsed by the Big Dog, Bubba Clinton.
I prefer the term "reminding" to "telling", because it really happened.
They may be able to claim that "Bush is no Reagan", but they would certainly have been good riding partners.
