My tag line says what I think about Reagan. I wish he had had more sucess at it, but he did a great job under the circumstances.

So you don't REALLY mean that the Republicans have been all down-hill since Nixon. You might also have approved of the Contract with America in 1994. Bet we could find some other things the Republicans have done right, though goodness knows, you're right that they have done some dumb things, too.

My bottom line is will the Republicans or Democrats be better for the country in this election? So far in my lifetime, my answer has never come up "Democrats." If I don't want Dims to win and govern as they please, I darn well better ELECT somebody else. If I go off and vote for somebody that doesn't have a chance to win, it's almost as bad as if I had voted for the Dim. There are those who choose to do that, but I can't overcome my conscience that says I should try to achieve the best outcome, not just a personally satisfying defeat.
