Its not the coverage of Ronald Reagans funeral that will help Bush come November. Its not the tributes, the observations that Reagan was in fact right on the topics of Communism, economics, welfare, etc etc etc.
Its the Democrats over the top rhetoric, which began yesterday, and is picking up steam as I post this.
Watch closely. The Democrats will remind everybody of only one thing by the end of this week.
Why they are the clear minority political party, with shrinking membership, coffers that don't fill up as they once did, and thousands of lost elective offices from across the spectrum from local, to state, to the federal level.
The Pelosi's of the world are so completely "tone deaf" politically they just can't help but make Bush look good, while they trash Reagan, and Bush by proxy.
I disagree. Reliving the Reagan Revolution (or as WSJ said, more like a Restoration) is a good thing for the American public to do right now -- Ron would have approved, I think. The Great Communicator knew the importance of getting your message out. He was so good at portraying the best of America. Let the people hear and understand: THIS is what we're fighting for. Not oil, not conquest, but to be that 'city on the hill' -- that beacon of freedom, that helps those who want to help themselvles.
The Pelosi's of the world really think that if they say something, their constituency will believe it. And in most cases they are correct about that. Democrats are generally not deep thinkers. No one ever told them "don't believe everything you hear/read".
