It is people like YOU who so viciously and hatefully destroy their own, who give Republicans a bad name. Interesting that you only listen to SOME of what Ronald Reagan has to say.

Since he was out campaigning for John McCain, and therefore on team McCain/Palin, how would it have looked if Romney publicly disagreed with McCain about the bailout?

Note: Romney disagrees with the auto bailout.

Since failing companies and turning them around are Romney's forte, I think he's well aware of the perils of government intervention and Ronald Reagan's maxim (of everything he said the following is the phrase I heard most often from Mr. Reagan and can still well picture and hear him saying it, "Government is not the solution to the problem...Government IS the problem.").

You're assessment of Romney is incorrect. That IS your problem.

Why don't you send a letter to Ronald Reagan's son and lecture him about his positive assessment and support of Romney using his father's famous maxim. I'll bet you'd win him over with THAT one/sarc..lol!

I'm not a big fan of Fred Thompson's. His personality was/is frankly to dull and he was/is too lacking in energy to attract enough of the non-conservative vote to win him the presidency for starters. But my dislike for him would never prompt me to claim he wasn't conservative, nor would I spend hours on threads, ripping him to shreds. My points regarding him were made in several posts and thereafter I moved on. By far the vast majority of my time has been spent promoting the candidate I supported and still support, Mitt Romney.

Promoting your candidate is a far better way to spend your time, than to waste it destroying another man's candidate. All the posters on this thread who've made that point have it exactly right.

If Romney couldn't have been president, all else remaining the same, I wish it were Fred, or McCain or even Huck, I was complaining about now, rather than Obama. How about you? Would you take Romney over Obama?

You need to read Michael Reagan's actual words. He said some nice things about Romney in a column almost two years ago, words that are often quoted here by Romney supporters ...

... Who conveniently leave out the words immediately following, which have as high a praise for Rudy Giuliani. You LIE and MISLEAD when you imply that Reagan saw or sees Romney as a next Great Hope for the GOP. On the other hand, I notice you forget to mention that Reagan wrote of Palin that "his Dad was back!" He loves Palin.

Don't have time right now to respond to the rest of your post. Don't tell lies about Michael Reagan.
