Doubt it other than the invocation of the 11th Commandment.

[street_lawyer]

well that’s one conservative vote in his corner.

[org.whodat]

ROFLOL, just another vote insane or I’ll talk bad about your momma.

[Rudder]

Well, I know me, and I’m no Ronald Reagan.

Reagan Tribute

[toddlintown]

My tagline...

[misterrob]

Come on folks, let’s rip the great Ronald Reagan’s son for being a RINO and a sell out. Rip his deceased father for backing Ford after he lost while you are at it.

You know you want to.....

Hunter? Gone
Fred? Gone
Romney? Gone

Hillary/Obama or McCain?

What would RR do?

[kabar]

LOL. The GOP establishment types are scared to death that rank and file conservatives won’t support McCain. Their fears are well-founded. I won’t be voting for McCain under any circumstance.

[Sybeck1]

John McCain would have sticked Ronald Reagan in the back too, if he had been President this past eight years. We have a liberal-moderate in conservative clothing who will surely bite us.

[TADSLOS]

Have fun with Juan, Mike. Keep your back facing away from him at all times, though.

[AmericaUnited]

The HUGE, HUGE difference today versus 1976 is that Obama or the Evil Witch would do far more damage than Peanut Head did, AND, that there is no Ronald Reagan magicaly popping up in 2012. If he’s not here today, he won’t be there in 2012. Reagan spent 20+ years setting up for the 1980 election.

[FloridianBushFan]

I agree with Michael. I am no fan of MaCain’s when it comes to alot of his policys, But I will be voting for him in November. He is better then Hillary or Obama when at least it comes to National Defense.

[MeanWestTexan]

This is an understandable position, and many conservatives have said vote for the GOP candidate, regardless - e.g., Reagan and, more recently, Fred Thompson.

The problem with this approach is that this loyalty is abused by triangulators like Karl Rove who force RINOs onto the party as “electiable” Republicans — lurching the entire party to the left.

While a reasonable path in Reagan’s day, I struggle with whether I will take that path any longer.

[Radix]

"We are still suffering from the legacy of James Earl Carter, thanks to the conservatives who refused to follow Ronald Reagan's example and instead sulked at home while the nation was being handed over to the worst president in American history."

The worst president in American history is going to be elected in 2008.

Hopefully, it will not be a Republican. That would be a real difficult clean up for conservatives.

[unspun]

To think that the candidate who challenged a sitting GOP president would follow lock-step behind John McCain (of all people) is nutty.

Keep carrying the conservative cudgel, Gov. Huckabee!

[SevenofNine]

Is me or what but does what would President Reagan sound like South Park joke of what would Brian Botaneo would do you know the ice skater

[Clint N. Suhks]

I think it’s safe to say he wouldn’t have voted for him in an early primary.

[farmer18th]

It's very likely Ronald Reagan never would have been elected if Gerald Ford had earned a first elected term. Age was being used against Reagan at the time, and he would have had bruising primary battle against a possible 2nd termer in Gerald Ford.

And that's just the pragmatic electioneering angle.

Gerald Ford may have been a boob, and a bit of a Bob Michel bi-partisan hack, but he wasn't a traitor to basic American liberties--the way John McCain is. Reagan cared more about liberty than he did about party, and that's why he would have taken the longer term option.

[samtheman]

Now we have another world-wide war going on with a hidden enemy sworn to kill us all, and the policy of the Democrats running for the presidency is to throw up their hands and withdraw from the battlefield, leaving it to the enemy -- and our fate in the hands of Osama bin Laden.

That's right.

[exhaustedmomma]

Michael Reagan-— quit calling my house and refusing to speak to me.
