Reagan was probably our best president. You do realize that the Reagans married on March 4, 1952 and Patti was born Oct 21, 1952, right? Would you have cast your vote for Reagan? Aren't you glad enough of us did?

Given the despair that I am told permeated the country during the Carter years, I cannot say what I would have done. I was a flaming liberal in my teens and early twenties. So thanks, but no thanks. I prefer to deal in actualities, not hypotheticals. Intellectual masturbation ain’t my style.

"Actualities", "hypotheticals" and "intellectual masturbation"? Geez, for somebody who has done so much posting on this thread, your response is nothing more than double-talk and a cop-out.

Reagan vs. Carter,I know is a easy question most could answer. Let the record show that you won't answer the question.

No, dear, let the record show that I refuse to answer hypotheticals because there’s no reason to do so. Once one engages hypothetical questions, said questions are endless and less and less to the point.

When Reagan ran against Carter, I was 11. How on earth could I posit what I would have done at that time were I older? It’s an exercise in futility, at best, even if you won’t recognize it as intellectual masturbation (which, let’s face it, all hypothetical questions are).
