SARAH Palin was hailed as Ronald Reagan in a dress yesterday by the former Presidents son.
Michael Reagan, 63, said watching the vice-presidential hopeful was like seeing my dad reborn only this time hes a she.
Palins stirring speech at the Republican convention on Wednesday night was watched by 40million people across the US.
And Michael, a broadcaster and writer whose father was President from 1981 to 1989 said: Ive been trying to convince my fellow conservatives that they have been wasting their time in a fruitless quest for a new Ronald Reagan. I insisted he was one of a kind. I was wrong!
Describing Palins speech as electrifying, he added: Welcome back, Dad, even if youre wearing a dress and bearing children this time around.
The 44-year-old mum of five dubbed the Pitbull in Lipstick after being chosen as John McCains running mate for the November 4 election laid into Democrat candidate Barack Obama in St Paul, Minnesota.
Reagan added: This was Ronald Reagan at his best. She proved she was everything, and even more, than John McCain told us.

No one will ever replace Ronaldus Magnus. He was one of a kind. But Sarah has many of the same qualities Reagan had and that why the Dems hate her so viciously. Great smile, amazing sense of humor, a genuine talent for good speeches and an innate ability to make people feel good about themselves and the country. Few politicians have that gift of being able to bring it off. Sarah does!

“Why does Hillary never wear a skirt or dress?”
Large ankles, varicose veins, and hairy legs? Ouch, I shouldn’t have said that.

I was thinking demonic rather than bovine, but either works.

Agreed. The historical parallels are almost amazing. Reagan wasn't elected California's Governor until 1966. Sarah is an incumbent governor. Except Reagan came from California and Sarah comes from Alaska! She is no doubt the future of American conservatism just as Reagan was in his day.

“Sarahs not afraid to wear a dress.”
Well, there’s a reason for that. They have to photoshop HRC’s calves (should be, her “cows”) when they are exposed to the air. There are a few unphotoshopped pictures of her in a dress and it ain’t nice.
On the other hand, Gov. Palin. Well, let’s see, how do I say this tactfullly? I can’t figure out how. So I’ll say it untactfully. She’s hot. She’s Maggie Thatcher with great legs. Brains, great legs, shoots Caribou, does not look silly on an ATV, and deflates BO’s little balloon (metaphor intended) better than anyone else has this year. What’s not to like?

SARAH Palin was hailed as Ronald Reagan in a dress yesterday by the former Presidents son. Well, Sarah Palin and Ronald Reagan both got the same MSM welcome to the beltway.
Keep the Reagan spirit alive Sarah!

Does anyone else think it’s a little creepy to imagine your dad as a woman?
To: mkjessup
It was the GOP Convention at the Cow Palace in San Francisco where Ronald Reagan made his political debut in 1964 (the year Sarah Palin was born) as he delivered what became known as The Speech, as Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona became the nominee that year.I have heard that San Francisco was a Republican town back in those days. How times change! How many years before the Republicans hold another convention in SF?

Resisting... impulse to type another... female... bovine anatomical... reference..." It's OK, I did it for you in my last post on this thread. Was that the alternative bovine reference you were alluding to? Or am I udderly off base?
To: LdSentinal
Welcome back, Dad, even if youre wearing a dress and bearing children this time around.
You sure that wasn't your brother?

I think the real big difference is that McCain is no Goldwater.
Oh, and Palin has not yet proven that she has Reagan’s grasp of the conservative philosophy. He was the man of action’s version of a philosopher.

You are udderly on point!

What's the action woman's version of conservative philosophy? An Alaskan frontier life! Obama couldn't live off the land if he had to - he's all metrosexual and no brawn!

IMO, shes way out front of any of the others in both parties. How long before "It's Palin's fault" is posted to a thread? ; )

...- he's all metrosexual and no brawn! He's got brawny ears.
Don't discount his finer points!
