I bet the liberal media is going nuts trying to figure out how all these people can still love President Reagan after all they have done to trash him. Makes me smile.

They just can't stand to believe it .. even when they see it themselves. It's all posturing, spinning, denying, degrading .. it IS a disease. The more they resist and revise, the stronger we get. The more they attack, the more we become entrenched and resolute.

Pray that "we" all do our critical job of voting to keep GWB in November, and that Reagan's legacy lives on. If they could scandalize and trash a man as decent, good and successful as Ronald Reagan, then they are truly engulfed by a despicable dimentia .. they just can't think straight.

He was romantically linked to her, yes.

Why any man would "unlink" from her is beyond me.

I remember being so proud of the fact that 2 young men from my hometown of less than 15,000 stood guard at Kennedy's casket.

I hope you will join us in watching the funeral on Friday.

Heads of State from "everywhere" will be there -

all except Elton John singing.

a) he collapsed like Brian Dennehy or

b) he got 'shut down.'

The lying in state will be live from 1:25am to 1:30am when they will replay the State Funeral Ceremony. I don't know how much of the dignitaries paying their respect will be shown, if any.

They did look a bit... how shall I say... well fed?

Frankly I'm surprised some liiberal whack job didn't try to run in screaming and waving some stupid signs. I imagine security at the entrances was pretty tight with USSS...

Sorry .. you have been terribly fooled. She's as lib and anti-Bush as they come. Don't be deceived by the superficial good looks. Therein beats a liberal heart as cold and partisan as Shrillery.

See, I kind of went "uh.....?? okay" when they explained it also.

It seemed like they don't have a clue what they are talking about.

But, it oddly hurt any Dem criticism that the GOP was stoppingn the Dems from speaking or something, so I let it slide and said that was their explanation.

I missed seeing Mrs. Thatcher at the casket. Could you tell me what happened? I don't think FOX showed it.

I must admit I was shocked to hear
Tom Brokaw of all creeps, waxing
eloquently and kindly about President
Reagan. Brokaw even took issue with
some things Matthews was saying about
RWR. Please understand, I didn't watch
all of the Matthews/Brokaw interview.

No pill can make her agree.


If she refused, he was 'shut down.'

LOL....getting IN TO the Rotunda (if I'm not mistaken) means you have to go through metal detectors, guards, etc.....chances of a "crasher" are pretty nil.
