Nope, trying to nag you to try to say that a former Republican president would not back the GOP candidate....and you go to the personal insults. Meaning I win the hypothetical. Talk to you later, going to dance around with the trophy now.
Man what a stunningly silly addition to this 360 post thread with some very good posts on it.
While you are busy whirling around the dance floor with your imagined trophy and pimping for Romney as though there were any meaningful difference on any issue of importance between him and Obozo, let the grownups intrude with the bad news.
Myth Romney using ultra-shadowy Wall Street anonymous megamoney sources who have been promised God and Lucifer only know what, has purchased the GOP nomination that sooooo eluded his slightly less leftist father. The money was spent in the most shameless campaign of lies, slanders and libels in the history of the GOP or probably in the history of American politics. The only victims were the more modestly funded actually conservative candidates.
Now, of course, like any human with two living brain cells to rub together, you solemnly assure us that Myth was hardly your first choice but we are stuck with him now. Exactly the smug line of RINOs since at least the time of Herbert Hoover, Alf Landon, Wendell Willke, Tom Dewey, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Nelson Rockefeller, George Romney, William Scranton, George H. W. Bush (Bush the Elder), Bob Dole, and John McCain and (on social issues) Barry Goldwater. That is: "Once I am nominated, those right-wing nuts have no place else to go! Ho, ho, ho!" They assume that Democrat is a four-letter word just like at their polo clubs and Junior League meetings and brokerage board rooms and that Reagan was not elected with the crucial difference made by largely private sector union and also Southern "Reagan Democrats" who have notoriously no use for the RINO airheads.
As to the game of "what if?": what if Ronaldus Maximus were still alive, did not have Alzheimer's, and was fully possessed of his mental faculties and still, in spite of it all, vigorous physically? What would HE be doing now that Romney will be the nominee? If somehow this had occurred under the circumstances presented, he would have been on autovomit. But seriously, folks, he would have been working to prevent such disasters by his words, his actions and his senior leadership of the conservative movement. Anyone seeking the GOP POTUS nomination would have made the pilgrimage to Malibu or Rancho Cielo to touch the hem of his political garment. Myth Romney would be firmly ensconced in the Demonrat Party where he and his father always belonged. Obozo would be "organizing" in Sickago. Too many years have passed since the onset of Reagan's disability to predict who would be the specific GOP candidate now.
We do know that Reagan did not bother lifting a finger to help Ford's effort to be elected and Romney is, if anything, worse than Ford.
Meanwhile, your political slip is showing. Try not to trip over it while you dance that imaginary trophy around the old polo club.
