Padre you just reminded me of something: the feeling of euphoria the night Reagan was nominated to be the candidate for the Republican party...it was an awesome feeling, coming then after the dreadful Carter years..Thank you..
And thanks to the FReeper who mentioned Romney as a populist too..I remember JFK when he was running for office, the first Catholic to run since Al Smith ~ 1928..JFK played his cards very close to the vest, then once he was in office he turned the country on it’s ear...There was many a day when we’d hear that he appointed so and so, or had signed a Bill into law that was absolutely bitter cough medicine to us...Just hope that doesnt happen with Mitt, but i think Floriduh is right- the GOP will hold his feet to the fire, same as it would Rudy’s or McCain’s...
The GOP has no fire. It’s been dead a while now.
