"Reagan also opposes Bush's stand on stem-cell research. That is the only reason Reagan accepted the Democrats' invitation, he said."

Lying tutu-wearing ingrate! He never had the 'nads to work out the pressure of having a great man for a father so he engages in post-mortem rebellion.

And what, he's going to mention his father at the RAT convention and they're going to cheer? Talk about priceless.

When asked by Sam Donaldson about whether he didn't share blame for a particular problem after he had just blamed it on the Democrats, President Reagan replied, "Yes. For many years I was a Democrat."

Dutch Reagan was born into a Democratic family and considered himself a liberal for many years. He was born in 1911 and didn't become a Republican until the 1960s - he was already in his fifties at the time.

R. Prescot Reagan is only 46 years old and still wet behind the ears. Who knows but that there could be hope for him yet?

In the meantime it's ironic that Michael, who was adopted by Reagan while he was married to Jane Wyman, is the loyalist and Ronald, Nancy's son by Dutch, is otherwise. Michael accepts with gratitude the gift he was given; Ron despises it. His choice. That way the public expects nothing in particular of him . . .
