Tell the truth, just as you say Perot was a loon, you didn't vote for Reagan because he was an actor and a former democrat.

I didn't vote for Reagan because there was no alternative media then, and all the media said he was going to blow up the world.

I liked the sort of things he would said, and thought it would be fun to have a President in the face of the Soviet Union saying them, but felt it wouldn't be 'responsible' to put such a confrontational man in the White House during the era of MAD.

I liked him because he was an actor and I'd enjoyed G.E. Theatre and Death Valley Days. I mean, he was really cute. But that wasn't a good enough reason to vote for him.

And I wasn't informed enough then to know he had once been a Democrat.

BTW, have you read Reagan's War?

I've sent it to a lot of soldiers.
