why was he such a lousy VP candidate ? against Gore no less?
I just wish that the GOP candidates would really talk honestly about Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. Fred Thompson has hinted at this so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
The current group of G.O.P. hopefuls couldn’t carry Ronald Maximus’s jock.
President Reagan would have stopped spending like drunk sailors, put dissedent dems in their place, not allowed the notrh American “union” and he would not have a politicized war.
Ronald Reagan was an American first the rest number two type.
Not at all like the current leadership or group of wannabes.
A magnificent article.
Pity no one will ever read it.

Memo to Jack: We already do have wide open borders with minimal to non-existent governmental barriers to imports. The enemies of this nation do not follow suit, and are slaughtering American manufacturing, and if the Commerce Dept. numbers for U.S. manufacturing took out housing, and the imported components they then mark up, it would be pretty manifest just how hollow America has become.
And it is not just on consumer items any more. We no longer make heavy duty transformers...which we would need by the hundred of thousands to be replaced in the event of a major EMP attack on the nation...one of the simplest and easiest things for an enemy to pull off.
We no longer make the infra red optics for our night vision equipment. Having outsourced it to China. (Illegally, btw).
China's steel manufacturers have exploded past the U.S...and now make 4 times more than ours do...even though their efficiency is less than half ours.
China is now poised to swallow up our automotive production as well. The domestic automotive industry was key to our being able to organize the huge reindustrialization efforts of WW-II which won the war for us. I doubt Toyota or Nissan, no matter how much they make here...will be able to do the same for us. Most all their engineers are in Japan...
Jack Kemp has always been weak on this. He never undestood industrial economics and reality. Only getting free trade "half-right." Which in this world of trade cheaters...is frankly ALL WRONG.
Kick ass. Break heads. Bomb cities. Take Nancy out to lunch. Invade Syria and Iran. Level whole countries who dare protest. Tea time with Nancy. Put guns to heads of all terrorist supporting nations. Get a shoe shine from Lybia's Khadaffy....
Easy. President Reagan would vote for Duncan Hunter.
That’s kind of funny, as the Debt/GDP ratio was far higher at the end of his term than it was at the start.
