Speaking of Republicans.... Anyone know whether or not the below referenced film/video clip re Ronald Reagan is anywhere to be found online??? http://gunnyg.wordpress.com/ http://www.ronpaul2008.com/veterans A DEFINING MOMENT IN PRESIDENTIAL POLY-TIKS! "One of the defining moments in presidential politics for me came on the night of the New Hampshire Republican debates in 1980. It was a heated campaign, and although there were several other candidates on the ballot, George Herbert Walker Bush and Ronald Reagan were running neck and neck. The debate hosts wanted Reagan and Bush to square off against each other, and tried to keep the other candidates off the stage.

Bush concurred. But not Reagan. He grabbed the microphone, gave the hosts his stern and disapproving look, and said that since he had paid for the mike, he was going to give every candidate a chance to make his case to the voters of New Hampshire"

You slighlty miffed the story. The moderator had the mike turned off and that's when Reagan said "I paid for this microphone...".
