Maybe that's why Kerry has stuck with, "He (Reagan) and I had different points of view... but...." No doubt Kerry is beginning to learn how his record will be papered over the wavelengths with a lie if he tries to say otherwise.

Sounds like a press release to me. Good work. Nails him better than votes in the Senate which his allies have tried to misconstrue.

Oh, but he really 'respects' Ronald Reagan. ...Doesn't he...???

'Just another day on the campaign trail' for John Kerry...

Sounds like a press release to me.


Add to that "Kerry wants to add 40,000 troops to military--At no cost cost to the taxpayers.
Hitlary announced last week that we need more active duty military. She knows how to be a Commander-in-Chief you know. Suppose that's why she dessimated out military while she was CIC?

Great find. I just wish the libs in the media would pick up on this. Somehow, I doubt it.

[Kerry] said that some of the defense money should be redirected to restore cuts made in domestic programs such as the women, infants and children nutrition programs.

My minister at the time swallowed this liberal BS hook, line and sinker, and began spouting nonsense about Reagan slashing social spending - until I showed him the facts and insisted that he stop LYING from the pulpit. He evidently had no idea that the media were lying to him. (Who'd a thunk it, huh?)

Here I thought I was well-informed.

When the hell did he say that?

Because it's June and the majority of the populace isn't paying any attention...yet;not to mention the fact that most polls are inaccurate.

It is so sad that this won't appear in the media. Anyway, the libs would pass it off as being 20 years ago and not important today.

If I were a RNC advertising person - I'd do up an ad that the basic thrust would be Reagan & Bush: Fighting Communism & Terrorism...trying to thwart them every step of the way: John Kerry.

EVen today, Kerry said in a speech that was billed as "strengthening defense" that he would cut missile defense.

On one hand he is telling us what great threat N. Korea nukes pose to us, and on the other hand, he wants to make sure we stay defenseless against such threat.

This is Kerry's version of "strenghtening our defenses".

And...........I am ever so proud to do it.

Some of that pride would diminish if Kerry were CIC though.
