Then you should tell this to William Buckley as well because he didn't like the speech either. Reagan credits Buckley as the father of the modern conservative movement so I guess your observation doesn't hold water.
Buckley is a drama queen too
Ummmmm........Mo's comments were not directly in relation to the speech, Jeff.
Before you jump in to criticize, you should check out what's going on.
I'm not at all surprised that Buckley wasn't enamored with the speech (though this has nothing to do with who the father of conservatism is........and I didn't need Reagan to tell me it was Buckley, even if you did).
Buckley's not a dreamer or visionary; the President is.
