Ron Jr. grew up 'well'? I guess to a leftist looney, it might seem tht way.

Anytime someone tied to conservatism moves to the left they've "grown". When Bob Dole embraced tax increases in the 1980's he got a lot of good publicity and was said to have "grown".

What's interesting is that Patti Davis when from being a far-left anti-nuclear demonstrator/nude poser to more or less apolitical, yet there are no columns about how wonderfully she's grown. That's because she didn't move to the left.

He hasn't grown up yet, he's still in that awkward liberal phase most of us grow out of when we get a job. Maybe Ron needs to get a job and then he will develop.

Notice how the article is written simply to smear Pres. Bush. It's OK to grow up slowly if you are a Dem...think of JFK, Jr, who at 40 when he died was "finding himself". But for G.W.Bush to quit drinking at 40 (after numerous accomplishments WAY beyond Ron P. Reagan and the younger Kennedy), he was immature and a failure...in the eyes of the media.

Ron P. Reagan is NOT impressive, never was, never will be. Too bad he carries such a distinguished name.

Apparently Ron Jr. is a lier.

A pathetic attempt to drum up legitimacy for the plié prince. From Newsday, of course.

In recent years Ron Reagan has criticized the Bush administration for claiming his father's legacy

Who really deserves Ronald Reagan's legacy? A group of people who honestly took the Gipper's words to heart or a punk who just happens to share his name?

Ron Reagan has talked recently about people who wrap themselves in the mantle of his father and claim to speak for him and even proclaim what Ronald Reagan would say about subjects like the war in Iraq. Sounds like Ron has grabbed that mantle for himself. The Ronald Reagan we all know and love would NEVER support embryonic stem cell experiments conducted with federal funds.

I find it humorous that liberals like Sheryl McCarthy lionize the son who advances their agenda, when they wouldn't have given the time of day to his father. Sure, he's worthy of respect - now that he agrees with THEM. The dad who made the son famous so he could grow up to become a tired liberal windbag? They treated him like dirt while alive.

I was shocked to learn that he's been with the same wife - Doria, a clinical psychologist - for more than 20 years.

LOL- I daresay a large portion of America was shocked to see him with a woman at all.

If he wasn't putting down Bush in a sophmoric way, there would be no article. And it is piss-poor journalism to mention the "crippling restrictions " to fetal stem cell research instead of telling the truth - that GWB's position is that no Federal money is to go to this. Private research and the drug companies can do work with these tissues - but only on their dime.

Ron Reagan was a lanky, awkward-looking ballet dancer, one of the lesser lights of the Joffrey Ballet Company, with a downscale wife who was seven years older than he was. And, some thought, he was rather effeminate. He was easy to make fun of.

"I used to think Ron was a geeky fag ballerina, but then he attacked Bush and now he’s a freaking foreign policy genius!"

I used to think Sheryl McCarthy was an affirmative-action promoted typist. My opinion holds steady.

Ron Prescott Reagan is a self-involved, clueless, new-age twirp.

But of course, those who believe that Michael Moore tells the gospel truth in his films, that President Bush was selected, and not elected, and that John Kerry as a boy, actually plowed the fields on the family farm; believe that Ron Prescott is a "mature, thoughtful, and well-spoken middle age man." Yup, "the group think" crowd recognize Ron Prescott as one of their own.

It's is a good thing that neither he, nor his sister Patti, ever had any children. As Grandpa said, "Some folks and critters were never meant to reproduce."

Ms. McCarthy; You know as well as the rest of us that Ron Reagan is taking advantage of who is father was. So get off your soapbox; we ain't interested in what he has to say.

Recently he's received offers to host another cable-TV talk show of his own, Reagan says, and maybe he's finally ready for one now. It's what we need. Not another one of those nasty conservative shows, or some silly liberal show in retaliation. But a show with a man in the middle, saying things that are true.

Only in this author's liberal-land is Ron Reagan considered a "man in the middle."

Incidentally, for a much better view of Ron Reagan's motives, check out Richard Cohen's column in the Washington Post. Even though Cohen's a lib, he accuses Ron of "grave robbery."
