Not sure what to think about Ron. I really want to cut him some slack here because of his Father but here again the Media is now trying to build him up and take advantage of the fact that Ron is an unabashed Liberal.

He certainly made no secret that he does not like President George W. Bush and even more does not like religion to be a part of anything. He did say that he thought W. used Religion to make his case for the War in Iraq and frankly I don't remember that ever coming into the equation. He also felt his Father would not have done the things W. has in this War on Terror and I really disagree with that assessment.

All in all I have very ambivalent feeling about him but really hesitate to say anything derogatory at a time like this.

I will say that people like Chris Matthews, Stone Phillips and others are really taken with Ron and I have said this before, but these people come across like they have some kind of school girl crush on the guy and if he doesn't ask one of them to the Prom they are just going to have a fit.

[wildwood]

it's just like their love affair with john mccain. personally i think they know in their hearts what is right, but they want to "love" this crazy dude with connections to the guy who actually does the right thing. mccain flirts with both sides. at least for the moment, he has done the right thing. fat chance THAT will get much play in the mainstream media.

of course,they play up ron because they are opportunists. everybody knows his family had issues. anyway i would be more interested in patti davis's opines than ron's.

I have no compunctions whatsoever.

I think we all loved Ronald Reagan, but he raised a defective son and I think his embarrassment continues even in his death.

[Paul Atreides]

Swan Flake used his eulogy of his father to take a swipe at W. He's shameless.

[Paul Atreides]

He was being interviewed by Chris Matthews.

They'd better catheterize Chrissy, if they don't want a mess to clean up.

[rmgatto]

Ron Reagan is a shameless fop. Chris Matthews is a drooling shameless democrat shill who talks twice as fast as he thinks. I heard that Ron was essentially a no-show son until the illness was diagnosed. He should stick to dog shows.

[BonnieJ]

Didn't Pres. Reagan coerce Ron into marrying his current wife? There are no biological grandchildren for Ronald W.Reagan and that is sad, but he did have the adopted daughter of Maureen plus Michael's children so they probably were a joy to him.

Ron P. is a testament to the conflict of nature vs. nurture in raising children.

[Nam Vet]

I won't make any derogatory statements about this lib bonehead either.

Let's see, Dateline had a nice long segment with Michael Moore, who bashed President Bush, and then a nice segment with Ron Reagan, who bashed politicians who professed to have religious faith ("Oh, you think that sounds like I'm criticizing President Bush? Well. Isn't that a very telling observation?")

Does Dateline have an agenda? Such a tough question.

[Howlin]

He did say that he thought W. used Religion to make his case for the War in Iraq and frankly I don't remember that ever coming into the equation.

Frankly, you are correct. Heck, if you think back, you can remember all the people right here on this forum that were furious because Bush didn't MAKE it a religious war.

He also felt his Father would not have done the things W. has in this War on Terror

He has no way of knowing how Reagan would have reacted since Reagan wasn't confronted with a situation anything close to what happened on Bush's watch; for all he knows, his father might have nuked them.

[macamadamia]

Prescott needs a couple of cucumber slices on his eyes.

[Loyal Buckeye]

How long before Jacque Kerreee calls Ron?

[gg188]

Ron's new notoriety could land him dancing roles. Is there any upcoming production that needs a TINKERBELL?

Ron Reagan on NBC's Dateline


I guess Michael Reagan was too busy.

[dc-zoo]

Maybe kerry will choose him as his running mate. Wouldn't you just hate to see.. Kerry/Reagan '04?

[sam_whiskey]

Much ado about nothing. I was watching US Open highlights on the Golf Channel. Didn't even know Dateline was on. Unfortunately now I'm watching Dan Rather drool about Clinton on Larry King (Christ..Larry just said Ron Reagan would be his guest on Wednesday). These people are so predictable its' comical. Don't lose sleep over this one folks.

[WalterSkinner]

As far as I'm concerned, he can shut up and go back to hosting dog shows on Animal Planet.

[PackerBoy]

Ask yourself why they did not have Reagan's other son, Michael, on too? His eulogy was entirely different than little Ronnie's. Chrissy Matthews and the NBC libs wanted to bash Bush, and little Ronnie is their spokesmodel of the week.

Sometimes the truth is simple.

[jackbill]

Isn't it a bit early to force President Reagan to roll over in his grave, wanting desparetely to tell his fairy son to shut his pie hole?

Just what has "Ron, Jr." done to earn face time on TV?

A role as Tinkerbell in the local summer theater doesn't do it for me.
