My best memory of Reagan was in the summer of 1984. My family and I were on vacations in our cabin in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and my grandfather spent all day getting an old second-hand antenna on the roof of the cabin, so we could pick up the Republican national convention that evening. My family was full of staunch Republicans, but being nine years old at the time, I didn't really care that much.

But when Reagan got up to the podium to speak, I remember the chants of "Rea-GAN! Rea-GAN!" going on for at least 15 minutes before Reagan could actually speak. It remains the most delirious crowd I've ever seen in my life. I remember listening to him and feeling impressed, about how he seemed to mean every word he said, and how everybody just loved him. It impressed me enough that I voted for him in my elementary school's mock election that November. It's the only time in my life I've ever voted Republican. =)

Rest in peace, Ronnie.

Well, you picked one heck of a good GOPer to support. So, yer from a family of Pubbies and you had to be a "renegade", eh? They must just shake their heads when you start spewing yer Pro-Socialism rant...LOL!!

So it wasn't a bad upbringing that led you astray...what was it that got yer mind so skewed to the Left?! Was it a way to pick up girls or what?!

LOL...MUD
