Palin is 'Ronald Reagan in a dress'

SARAH Palin was hailed as “Ronald Reagan in a dress” yesterday — by the former President’s son.

Michael Reagan, 63, said watching the vice-presidential hopeful was like seeing “my dad reborn — only this time he’s a she”.

Palin’s 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: “I’ve 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 Palin’s speech as “electrifying”, he added: “Welcome back, Dad, even if you’re 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 McCain’s 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.”

That’s where she’s saying the styrofoam columns are being hauled back to “some studio lot.” LOL!

Indeed - that’s something that needs work. Here’s a simple example: Taxing the rich guy makes him decide to drop the professional landscaping service for his yard, so he just mows and plants the shrubs himself instead. Big Deal - he’s not really hurt, that’s a luxury he can do without - doesn’t affect putting food on the table. True - it doesn’t hurt him - it hurts the working class guys who just lost their jobs at the landscaping company because people quit using that service.

Fred Thompson actually did explain that the other day in his speech - he said higher taxes on businesses won’t affect you unless you happen to be one of the few who buy clothes, groceries, and other things from a business, or get a paycheck from a business. He also had the analogy that Obama’s rhetoric was like saying he was only going to take water from one side of the pail.

I like a fashion coordinated election.

Obama is 'Pee Wee Herman in a dress'

How many years before the Republicans hold another convention in SF?

If all the liberals there disappeared tomorrow, it would still take three decades, *minimum*, to fumigate the place...
