Don't forget all those Reagan Democrats
Once upon a time I was a registered Dem - I was young and didn't know better
When I voted for the first time .. I had no idea who to pick
My mother (a Dem) told me to vote for Reagan
I did and changed parties when I saw what a Great man he was ...
Try to find a play of Michael's interview on FoxNews. He and Ronald Reagan hugged, alot. It started in Michael's adulthood, and extended well into President Reagan's Altzheimer's. The two of them were connected, as humans.
CSPAN had a couple of shots from the top (or near it) of the Capitol down the Mall toward the Washington Monument - beautiful.
I'll switch over to CNN for 41. I sometimes wish Barbaza Bush could have been elected...she could form a fist far better than her husband.
Reagan Generation .... I like that !!!
I suspect it is more of the do not want, then just don't. To acknowledge that anything about conservatism is right, is an anathema to them
You bring up a good point. Clearly, today's young people have not heard much good about President Reagan from their "teachers". It will surprise them to know more about this great man that they have been lied to about.
I got way behind on the thread, but have to note that Peggy Noonan live on MSNBC said she watched from a window at the Capitol building and they could tell where the caisson was on the route from the sound of applause.
It gave them (she and other old Reagan hands) CHILLS and they loved it.
(I had to note for those who had noted disapproval, that the applause was a very very good thing indeed)

I drove up to Simi Valley on Monday night with two friends. We left San Diego at 8:30, and didn't get back home until almost noon the next day. My roommate, a complete fool and a democrat to boot, asked me why I did it: "Why bother? Did you go just to say you did it?"
My response (delivered as I'm standing in front of the refrigerator plastered with Reagan magnets, holding a Reagan book in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other): "What are you, stupid?"
Come to think of it, I really didn't need to ask the question.
A Communist with no class.
What a combination.
Does Nancy not get along with Michael and his family?
Check out the photo and the post on this one.
Thanks!
She has to use a ladder to put on her makeup.
Awesome!
Matthews holds Churchill in highest esteem, so it was truly a great compliment for Thatcher.
I would imagine there'll be photo essays online that will surely have memorable moments such as that.
Chris has been around long enough to know better
Republicans honor their lost ones ..not throw a pep rally
