Wow, you best tell people who are posting those pics of Reagan handing the torch to Palin to cut it out.
I can tell from your post that you did not like Ronald Reagan.
The man was a 2 term Governor of the most populous state in the union. He was a fabulous and articulate speaker too.
He wrote many papers on policy and conservative philosophy. He ran for POTUS, lost and came back to win two terms.
I give up. I’m guessing you jumped into this thread at the point that you saw my post, without any attempt to see *why* I might have posted what I did. Go start a fight with someone else. I’m not interested.
“It is my understanding that the purpose of this site is not to foster debate. If I understand correctly, FR’s purpose is to advance conservative issues and candidates.”
Using one of your own posts, you set the tone yourself.
And claiming I am trying to “start a fight” by pointing out what you do not understand clearly illustrates my original point. In short, settle down. Nobody is attacking you here. Especially me.
Romans 3:8 (King James Version)
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
If I just looked at who could be elected, I guess I would vote Romney. But as you can read, the Bible causes one to look past such reasoning.
The conservative party really has no strong Reagan looking candidates right now. A weak Obama should easily be beaten, but face it, he would more than hold his own with what we have to throw at him. Also according to poll, Sarah looks almost dead last, so I would use some other angle to prop her up other than electability, cause she has ten tons of baggage dragging her down.
I will support the best conservative Christian candidate I can find come election day. I don't care if I have to write their name in, but you can bet your bottom dollar it will not be someone that thinks a person that doesn't like homosexuality is a homosexual themselves as Palin does.
I can see where she is coming from. I collected all things JFK when I was 6 or 8. He was a very popular figure, no getting around it.
But like the lady says, if we were older and knew what we know now, JFK would never have been elected.
Thanks for the link, reading puts the statement in perspective. JimRob says "I took it as she loves the FReepers and pass it on to all of you!!"
Meaning that he believes she likes FR, and he wanted us to know that. It was a very sweet of JR to share that with us, to build us up as important parts of the election cycle.
I did not get it as it was presented/referenced to me, that JR dictates all must bow to the mighty Palin on his forum.
Ah, so God demands that women shut up and stay in the kitchen.
Have you ever watched a movie where the lead character is portrayed as a blithering idiot. Don't you hate those kinds of movies. I by far prefer the intelligent lead roles.
If I had to place you in a ranking of movies right now, it would be Steve Martin in "The Jerk". Making up crap just to spout.
Enjoy yourself, you're far too dishonest for continuing to waste my time with.
1. a person that doesn't like homosexuality is a homosexual themselves as Palin does. What are you talking about? That's a ridiculous statement.
2. according to poll, Sarah looks almost dead last Reagan was dead last in every poll at this point. He was 30 points behind Carter 6 months before the election. How do you square that?
I will support the best conservative Christian candidate I can find come election day. If that's true, and she wins the nomination, what will you do? None of your candidates are more conservative, nor particularly more Christian, so what are you talking about? How can you suggest she's not conservative or Christian?
My favorite part of the day was when a couple of the usual groupies started tearing down Reagan because palin’s resume of accomplishment in life is nowhere near his. Fully schizophrenic.
I think the taliban is missing a member...
Since Gov Palin is a Reaganite. that makes no sense.
oh BTW did Reagan leave CA with a $12 billion surplus?

A) Take it up with your fellow groupies, it is they who tried to diminish RWR.
B) How hard was that to do in a state that receives more money back from DC than it sends in and after imposing a windfall profits tax on oil that was already hit with existing taxes and royalty fees.
Anybody who wants to argue that governing one of the least populous states (well under a million residents) for significantly less than even one full term is close to being comparable to governing the most populous state through some of the country's most turbulant years, doing it for two full terms and not quitting can only do so by ignoring reality....but go right ahead.
Note the state of Alaska has a population of fewer then 700.000 people. There are mayors of moderate sized cities in the US who are responsible for the governance of more people.
Alaska is a “welfare state” in that it recieves more money from the Federal Government then it pays in taxes. Not much of a trick to have a budget surplus in such a state.
In dealing with the oil companies, when did we view a government lording over private industry as a positive thing?
Palin is a fantastic spokesperson but does not have what it takes to dig us out of the hole that we are in.
I find it interesting that since you know who has been banned, the silent women haters have decided to show themselves.
If it's not much of a trick, how come the Federal Government can't manage to spend less that it receives?
Reagan is my second favorite President of all time, Lincoln being the first. Quit slamming Governor Palin for accepting the VP nomination, she was asked and RR ran,but did not win.
I adore Reagan. But geez, the man was NOT perfect, especially for those who are immigration purists.
Of COURSE Sarah Palin is un-electable! She’s too stupid, too inexperienced, too conservative and too religious to EVER win the presidency! Not a chance!
But let her run anyway. What the heck? She CAN’T POSSIBLY win, so what would it hurt to let her run? Let her play out the string until the final embarrassment?
I’ll vote for her and donate. Damn right I will! And so will that guy. And that one. And those 30 FReepers over there. And those folks.
Hey, wait a minute ... everybody said she couldn’t POSSIBLY win. Then how did she ... oh, wow ...
I see. So you'd vote for a pro-choice, anti-gun, homosexual marriage promoter before you'd vote for a woman, let alone Sarah Palin? What a pillar of religious morality you are!
I will support the best conservative Christian candidate I can find come election day. I don't care if I have to write their name in, but you can bet your bottom dollar it will not be someone that thinks a person that doesn't like homosexuality is a homosexual themselves as Palin does.
Primary time: Palin vs. Romney. Who you voting for?
