I am sick and tired of people calling Webb a Reagan democrat. He worked for Reagan for only nine months I believe it was, and he BAD MOUTHED Reagan when he left his administration. He is trying to ride coattails he burned a long time ago. Why are more people not highlighting this.
I thought he was a registered Republican for many years wasn't he?..... I have to admit, he is a force to be reckoned with.... He pulls no punches and is pretty articulate.....
Is that true? Can you give me the quote, and a citation to it? I've never heard that he badmouthed Reagan. What exactly did he say? Please provide a source.
What a jerk.
I suspect that you know why.
Webb was NEVER a Reaganite from the very beginning. He was as phoney then as he is now. To say he was a Reaganite is like saying insurgents in Iraq wearing American uniforms are American soldiers.
I tried pointing this out back then and few listened. In those days, self-proclaimed war heroes were still accepted on face value.

I'm convinced he was fired and the Reagan administration had the good grace to allow him to quit.
