I’d like to remind everyone that before Ronald Reagan was nominated to run against Jimmy Carter, the Democrats were praying the Republicans would nominate him as that would assure a Carter victory. De ja vu?

Surely you are not comparing Ronald Reagan to Sarah Palin? Before running for president the former had been head of the SAG for years, served two terms as chief executive of the Nation's most populous state and spent about ten years seasoning his persuasive speaking skills on the political circuit and on radio programs. He was thoroughly versed in every important detail of the domestic and foreign policy disputes of the day. He had challenged a sitting president in a primary campaign battle and nearly overturned the party establishment in 1976.

Palin possesses none of these attributes and her experience pales in comparison. We owe President Reagan more respect than this.

They also told us George Bush could never win twice. Glad Scarbutt doesn’t say things like this for the $$.

Pray for America
