Many here have been using the ‘lipstick on a pig’ bit with their candidate, not just Fred’s supporters. As a Fred supporter, I dislike the comparisons to Reagan. I can’t deny the similarities, though, especially when you look at what was said about Reagan when he was a candidate and what is being said about Fred now.
Look, not even Reagan was Reagan. He was human and made many mistakes while President. (Sandra Day O’Conner, Beirut, and Senior Catastrophic Health Insurance being among them.) This attempt at his deification by some Conservatives isn’t doing any of us any good. We have plenty of time to decide which of the candidates will make the best opponent for Hillary the Beast. Maybe it will be Thompson or one of the others. I’ll support whichever one it is. Wouldn’t you agree?
He dosen’t claim to be, he is his own man.
