I can’t imagine even Reagan, if he replaced the asshole in the White House, would be able to reverse and repair the total damage that has been done these past 5 years . . . and, needless to say, all of which was done under the watchful eye of what we used to call the Republican Party . . . the totall STUPID PARTY!

I remember the day very well. I was unemployed at the time and sat on my bed weeping for over a week. I was inconsolable during the funeral coverage.

I had no idea it was that long ago. It seems like only a couple of years.

I too am finished with the Republican party. I will probably keep my registration as a Republican just so I can vote in the primary. I may even vote for Republicans but not because that is what they are.

Obama is much worse than I thought he would be and I thought he would be a monster.

Ronald Reagan was the exception, not the rule. Remember, to the GOP establishment, Reagan was so "extreme" that they pushed John Anderson to run as a third-party spoiler.
