Disagree. Was it a choice between the lesser of two evils between Reagan and Carter?

I really can’t think of an evil GOP nominee since 1980, except of course, McCain. They all had flaws, but all were at least moderate Republicans. This election it really is a choice between two leftists.

Of course it was... Reagan had his shortcomings too. Here's a partial list...

When inflation is considered, Reagan's budgets spent more %-wise on spending than Bush's. Reagan signed into law 2 tax increases, amnesty for illegals, and supported the Brady bill. He also signed the treaty that banned Freon and cut and ran in Lebanon. In the area of preventing abortions, he appointed O'Connor and Kennedy to the Supreme Court. Reagan also had a major lapse of judgment with trading arms for hostages in Iran/Contra. This was a major scandal that consumed nearly all of Reagan's entire second term.

Still I'm very, very glad I voted for Reagan. He was the best choice there was.

Hillary, obama and McRat are all Rats. No support from me for any of them.

It may take an Obama to cause a conservative revolution! In the long run Obama will be better than McCain as Mccain lowers the bar all the way down to the stink at ground level and with him as President we will never see another conservative nominee from the GOP. The GOP is unrecognizable to me and I do not support them in any way, form or fashion. I am a principled conservative.
