Conservatives should be energized and ready to fight right now.
Time for a 2009 conservative revolution. First we get rid of the moderates, then the socialists.
Now is the time.
The problem is, Democrats define “emulating Ronald Reagan” as “fooling the masses with slick packaging and lots of hype”.
Maybe the RNC should emulate Reagan for a change.
Wow, a new GAME SHOW. “Polling for Personality”
So who is Obama? Jeckyl or Hyde? Somehow I don’t think Reagan is in the mix for the bonus round.
Not a chance.
Obama promised to push the most radical pro-abortion agenda EVER, by FAR.
Reagan was pro-life.
Obama says that Government is the solution to the problem.
Reagan said that Governement is not the soluton, but the problem.
They couldn’t be more different.
What the people are telling the pollsters goes beyond congnitive dissonance.
It is delusional.
John T. Flynn nailed the current situation down about 60 years ago...
Chapter 4 - The New New Deal
In the beginning, of course, was Roosevelt. And then came the Brain Trust. After that we had the Great Man and the Brain Trust. The casual reader may suppose this is just a catch collection of syllables. But it is impossible to estimate the power these few words exercised upon the minds of the American people. After all, a crowd of big business boobies, a lot of butterfingered politicians, two big halls full of shallow and stupid congressmen and senators had made a mess of America. That was the bill of goods sold to the American people. Now amidst the ruins appeared not a mere politician, not a crowd of tradesmen and bankers and congressmen, but a Great Man attended by a Brain Trust to bring understanding first and then order out of chaos.
Actually there are no big men in the sense in which Big Men are sold to the people. There are men who are bigger than others and a few who are wiser and more courageous and farseeing than these. But it is possible with the necessary pageantry and stage tricks to sell a fairly bright fellow to a nation as an authentic BIG Man. Actually this is developing into an art, if not a science. It takes a lot of radio, movie, newspaper and magazine work to do it, but it can be done.

Obama isn’t fit to lick Ronald Reagan’s shoes.
He hasn’t got time for Reagan, he has moved on to God emulation.
I'm not so sure. Voters are idiots. I bet more than 35% of the people that voted this past election couldn't pick Reagan out of a lineup, let alone understand anything that Reagan stood for. You can't vote for Barack Obama and at the same time want him to emulate Ronald Reagan - It is intellectually incongruous.
You can't call the nation center-right when we have overwhelming Democratic majorities in Congress, a majority of Democratic Governors and the most leftist Democratic President ever. The pendulum swung decidedly towards the left. And, I would say it began swinging during Clinton's term. Sure, we had a Republican President and Congress, but they were anything but conservatives. With the exception of social issues, the last twenty years have been increasingly socialist - not very Reagan-like.
We need to seriously reconsider who should be able to vote in this country!
I’m laughing at the irony of this.
0bama is not even in the same league as The Gipper. There’s no way he could even come close to emulating Reagan.
What? The majority of American people have elected a man who was raised a muslim, hated himself first (did the cocaine thing)and his country second (no evidence of college writings). Renaldus Magnus always loved his country, even while being the President of the Actors Union (such courage!)and didn’t just find love of country during a successful political campaign. “OOps, I won the election - now I have to love this country!” Has any of the MSM in the past day’s orgasm asked Michelle if she’s proud of her country yet?
So Obama will become Conservative; because otherwise Obama” You’re no Ronald W. Reagan”!
I’m afraid all it shows is that all those millions of voters who thought even for one second that Obama would be another Ronald Reagan in office are as dumb as rocks.
He is the anti-Reagan, if there ever was one.
encouraging? hardly. it just shows how ignorant people are about who has been elected.
and if they are not ignorant... it shows that people see 0bama as more conservative then mccain.
and if you are interested in fixing something, you better secure your ability to get the word out. right now, you must pass through the liberal filter to reach the vast majority of people. it’s time someone puts out (another?) conservative news station / newspaper... and advertise it as such. with over 40m conservatives, you have a guaranteed base of viewers/readers which to sell to advertisers.
Fools.
This would be funny, if it wasn’t so pathetic.
There is a snowball’s chance in hell that Captain Zero (Obama) is going to govern or be like Reagan.
