As important, vital, and relevant now as ever.

RONALD REAGAN OCTOBER 27, 1964:
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.
We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.
We will keep in mind and remember that Barry Goldwater has faith in us. He has faith that you and I have the ability and the dignity and the right to make our own decisions and determine our own destiny.
SCOTT BROWN JANUARY 19, 2010:
In every corner of our state, I met with people, looked them in the eye, shook their hand, and asked them for their vote. I didn’t worry about their party affiliation, and they didn’t worry about mine. It was simply shared conviction that brought us all together.
One thing is clear, voters do not want the trillion-dollar health care bill that is being forced on the American people.
This bill is not being debated openly and fairly. It will raise taxes, hurt Medicare, destroy jobs, and run our nation deeper into debt. It is not in the interest of our state or country - we can do better.
When in Washington, I will work in the Senate with Democrats and Republicans to reform health care in an open and honest way. No more closed-door meetings or back room deals by an out of touch party leadership. No more hiding costs, concealing taxes, collaborating with special interests, and leaving more trillions in debt for our children to pay.
In health care, we need to start fresh, work together, and do the job right. Once again, we can do better.
And of course, the more specific: Reagan on Socialized Medicine
But I think "the speech" says it all.
Your favorite?
My favorite part of Scott Brown’s speech was where he thanked Mitt Romney. Mitt is working for us, guys and gals. Lets give Mitt a big thank you just like our new Senator-Elect Brown.
God bless President Reagan. Mitt’s for socialized medicine. Game, Set, Match. Go home Mitt. This is a ground-up movement.
But of course, that would be ok with Reagan's 11th commandment as long as it stops the slide into the abyss of the last, best hope for mankind.
We’re talking Massachusetts here. We’ll take it.
It’s an interesting quandry. What would Reagan do?
He would probably run against Mitt head-to-head, but then, he’d probablyhave worked with Mitt to make sure Brown got elected.
Agreed. Cheers!
Mitts just working an angle as usual. He’s a socialized medicine champion of it’s first failure in the US.
He’s the Republican version of Bill Clinton and we need to shake him off our leg.
Heck, I’d take one of the Maine RINO twins winning in Massachusetts.
I’m going to add that Steele did good by not pulling a Dean. =)
Where’s the official “morning after gloat” thread?
I have the actual video of the FULL speech, not this excerpt with a “buy it now” advert at the end.
The actual speech is longer than 4 minutes.
Someone trying to sell stuff on FR?
I can post my copy on a bittorrent site if I see this again. My copy will be free.
Then post it.
Jeebus.
I posted what I found on other FR threads and google.
Get over yourself.
Here’s the link:

For tards who can’t find a youtube video. I didn’t have to post my copy after a 2 second search, I think it was posted nine months ago. Great video, just got done watching it again for the umpteenth time.
Are you already the biggest ahole on this board, or are you trying to win the title from scratch?
