You are a real enigma.
You say all the right things and post the right pictures in general, are big on Limbaugh...
Then there is this Romney thing of yours, a man who embodies the exact opposite of Reagan and even dismissed him...
Something is out of whack somewhere.
Sad really.

Where is RINO coward Romney
as the Dems push through ObamaCARE?
Answer: The RINO coward is hiding, sending out his saboteurs
against Gov. Palin and all GOP stars again, and selling his ghostwritten book.

Interestingly enough, there is (as the late Paul Harvey used to say) "the rest of the story", in my post #66, there is the tell tale video clip of Mitt-Witt proclaiming with authority that he was an "Independent" during the Reagan years and that he was not trying to "go back" to Reagan-Bush. Nobody has ever escaped that sort of cheap political two-faced posturing, and Willard isn't about to be the first.
But now for that "Rest of the Story"...
I contend that the Romney family has NEVER liked Ronald Reagan, I believe that all of their faux warm words about the Gipper are nothing but boilerplate, absolute fabrications and outright lies. Why?
We journey back 44 years to March 1966, and we read this UPI news article:
"March 28, 1966 (UPI) Detroit - Ronald Reagan, candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of California, said today he liked Governor George Romney but believed former Vice President Richard M. Nixon was more likely to win the GOP 1968 Presidential nomination. Reagan, a former movie star, told a news conference Romney was "a fine Governor". But he said he believed Nixon "probably has both hands on the stick more than anyone else" in the race for the Republican nomination...Reagan said his own lack of experience in public office should not hurt his candidacy. He pointed out that Romney never held public office before being elected Governor of Michigan."
There you have it folks. Although Reagan ended up as a favorite son candidate in 1968 for the GOP nomination, he was luke warm at best in his words for Mitt's Daddy, then-Governor George Romney of Michigan, and Reagan was not bashful to express his belief that Nixon was "more likely" to win the nomination (which in fact he did).
Elections and campaigns have been won or lost on less than that. All Reagan did was express his opinion. But the mercurial and temperamental (some say unstable) George Romney most likely never forgot that slight, even if unintended by Ronald Reagan. And you can be sure that his kids (including Mitt of course) got an earful about that 'former movie star' who dissed George's chances for winning the GOP nomination in '68.
I think Mitt Romney hates Ronald Reagan's guts for that.
