Point is simple...Reagan did endorse Ford, whom he had fought tooth and nail. That is the essence, the timing is secondary to that point. Reagan also ended up choosing Bush Sr. as his running mate, whom he had fought even more bitterly in the 1980 cycle.

I understand full well that Romney is not Reagan. Romney was my third choice in this election, and we are now faced, IMHO, with even worse choices.

But my point regarding Romney now backing McCain is that it is not unusual and it certainly does not mean that Romney now espouses the contrary views that McCain espouses...it only means that Romney is throwing his support behind McCain now so that McCain can be in a position to defeat the democrats, either of which cretans would be an even worse disaster for this nation.

Huckabee has every right to stay in it as long as he wishes...but my bet is that at some point in the near future, he too will endorse McCain...and for the same reasons Romney has.

That is all.

With all due respect Jeff,

It’s difficult to compare how things were nearly 30 years ago with today.

At the time, (Reagan) was not facing anywhere near the extremes that this current World is facing. Ford was very much lack luster and incompetent, but in comparison to McCain and what McCain has done to this country, It is impossible to gauge what RR would say or do.

This is disgraceful to bring the honor and memory of one of our greatest Presidents into this debate in the first place. Personally, I differ greatly from your opinion. Under the circumstances, Reagan would be completely incensed by McCain’s behavior over the last 2 decades.

Knowing Mr. Reagan’s level of honesty and integrity, I have a much different projected outcome as to how he would react to RINO Juan McCain. Even still, I will not dishonor this great man by making factual misrepresentations of what he would or would not do.

“I understand full well that Romney is not Reagan.”


Yet you drag Reagan into some small time guys campaign, 1976 has nothing to do with one of three candidates dropping out fairly early in a primary in 2008.

Dragging Reagan and his historical battle even into the convention into Romney’s little flip flop, is to mix nothing of note with a major political event of thirty two years ago.

It is a disgrace this constant attempt to link Romney and Reagan into every Romney defense.

Romney and his father were anti Reagan, that just makes it more disgusting to constantly be trying to drag Reagan down to this small time politician’s level.
