AFTER he won, and AFTER he refused Ford a co-presidency. You want them to all glad-hand each other and play party-pals before they even take to the campaign trail. That's a formula anemic group-think. The Republican party needs a cowboy--not a member of the student council.

Yadda yadda... You claim that no Conservative should be (gasp!) seen on a stage or associating himself with Bush, Ford or Rockefeller (or whatever the name of the day). But when it's Reagan, it's a different thing... sure.

Reagan was more pragmatic than you give him credit for, and yes Bush was his Veep to have a "moderate balance".

BTW if you are so outraged over the Iraq war... what to make of Iran Contra, the support for Saddam vs. Iran, the support of the Mujahedin and the withdrawal from Lebanon?

Politics is nasty. Foreign politics is downright ugly. It's reality. You want to twist and bent everything to fit your argument.

Reagan was a magnificent President, but the double standard you apply on him, only in order to defend your indefendable arguments, is ridiculous.

Look, farmer, straw belongs in the back 40, not made into men to hurl mud at. Capisce?

Maybe you’ve just seen enough sickly zombie glad handing that you can’t imagine anything else happening with Sarah in the picture.

Let’s watch what happens. Sarah for all her visible or feared or imaginary faults is a cut above the country club party folks, and she does have Jesus Christ in her heart. The situation as we see it clearly needs more prayer than critique. Jesus Christ has overcome and Sarah has that overcoming power in her. Will she exercise it? My fervent prayer, which IMHO should be yours, is that she will, and bring many others, and in several senses the country, nearer to salvation in the process.
