“Reagan would have supported McCain on amnesty.”
Reagan was a smart man that learned from mistakes. He was neither an idiot or a treacherous sell-out.
Ann is going out of her mind. I used to be the hugest fan of hers and can boast actually meeting her. However, in recent years, she has gone batty.
You are right.
Too bad we haven’t had Reagan for the past eight years. He wouldn’t have put up with McCain stabbing him in the back. In fact, if Reagan were in the White House right now, a snake in the grass Democrat like McCain wouldn’t be defining the Republican Party.
No, this is the first I’ve seen it. I was just doing a search to see if President Reagan and McCain dealt with each other much and I ran into the column by Mike.
He knows more than any of us about his dad.
He also said that his dad raised taxes in California.
Of course, I am right, KC! I'm... a Right Wing, Conservative Republican, Mind Numbed robot who was the Press Chairman for the Harris Youth For Goldwater in 1964 Houston, Texas!
BTW my old Pappy worked for Brown & Root then and even he voter for Goldwater. But he didn't tell Brown & Root that.
Here is a shot of me... in 1964!

I was one of “those” in ‘64(anti Goldwater).But voting for Perot ‘92 didn’t make things right.
He never succumbed to the embarrassment some people feel about an honest expression of love of country.
He was able to say 'God Bless America' with equal fervour in public and in private.

So what did Michelle Obama think of the United States before her husband decided he wanted to run the place? writes Boston.com.
For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country, she told a Milwaukee crowd today, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. 2 Videos
Looks like your thread got hi-jacked by Republicrats.
Ann did’t make the quote. Reagan made it about supporting moderate republicans....
The real Reagans adored McCain and supported his political start:
http://www.nytimes.com/books/99/10/03/reviews/991003.03trippt.html
“Then we follow McCain home, where he was immediately befriended by the Reagans. As a war hero and Washington insider, he seemed to have an assured future in politics.”
He made it about Rockefeller and the few that did not support Goldwater. This does not fit here.
Hard to say what Reagan would have done.
In 1976 while scrambling for delegates before the GOP convention, Reagan named as his running-mate-to-be Senator Richard Schweiker, the most liberal Republican in the Senate.

Yea but I expected that. I haven’t been called, stupid, shortsighted or a traitor to my country today while having my vote solicited yet, so I thought I would start this thread so I could get caught up.
Oh, and in 1980 Reagan named as his running mate the well-known moderate Republican, George H. W. Bush.
Would McCain let the deaths of nearly 300 Marines and other US Forces in a single attack go unanswered?
Bush 41 may have been a moderate, but he was no McCain, you shouldn’t insult him like that.
