No, that’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m trying to use Ford-Carter-Reagan as an example of how this country is capable of recovering from a liberal Democrat as long as the other choice ISN’T a liberal Republican but rather a conservative Republican who remains true to the conservative message.
Where we differ, I guess, is that I feel the country has still not recovered from Carter. He just wrote a book excoriating Israel, making bad trouble for the Jews, to paraphrase Lillian Hellman. He runs around the world making life difficult for us, for western democracies - all because he had the cache of being President of the U.S. once.
One thing I know about Guiliani (and I will support whoever the Republican canidate is): he will never betray us to the world.
