I was one of those Reagan democrats. I have also been a Teamster Union member for nearly 30yrs. Believe me when I say that Duncan Hunter up against any Democrat will win in a landslide. The others may squeak by just like Bush did because they represent the same old, same old. They do not motivate the casual voter. Hunter would clean the dems clocks just like Ronald Reagan did.
Yup.
That's the pure truth of it.
The thing about Reagan Democrats is, they’re more like Republicans than Democrats. Or that is to say, they’re more like Republicans can be, than they are like Democrats are now.
The Democrat party used to be patriotic. I mean, JFK screwed the pooch in the Bay of Pigs fiasco, but basically he was a seriously anti-Communist hard-— at heart, I think.
He was really the last Democrat like that. Now they’re seriously flirting with socialism, and their far-left social agenda is about the furthest thing from what your average Mid-American autoworker believes in.
They must feel like they’re surrounded by freaks. Really.
But they’re not welcome in the GOP.
THEY WERE.
They were Reagan Democrats.
They were the landslide.
They can and will, be victory.
Let’s bring them onboard. Really.
FReepers will like them. :)
I have a good friend who worked with Phyllis at Eagle Forum for 3 years...
..Phyllis is the 'real deal'...
..my friend can personally attest to Phyllis credentials and strong character.
Phyllis is not afraid to speak the truth.
I became aware of Phyllis Schlafly when she derailed the ERA amendment!!..
...hearing her speak numerous times and even as a young, non political mom/wife, I became aware, for the first time, that I had a responsibility to pay attention!!
I attended the International Year of the Woman conference in Orlando ('70's) just to be part of the opposition to ERA, NOW, NARAL, etc.
Through Phyllis Schalafly I became educated -(politically) and found courage to be involved!!
I will always appreciate & bless her for opening my eyes to the whole wide world of politics!
