Oh utter BS! I cast my very first vote for Ronald Reagan. No one I knew was so out of touch that they were promising to undermine any candidate who dared challenge the anointed one, as sparky just did in the post you replied to.
We were behind Reagan because we thought he could lead us out of the hall of shame that Carter had led us into, and we were right, he did. We did not worship the man as some sort of demigod who's primary opponents were the physical manifestation of blaspheme against our one man religion. There is ZERO similarity between the Palin phenomenon and Reagan's ascendancy.
The times now call for destruction of our enemies within the party first and , yes, to undermine anyone who gets in our way....in case you don't know your history, that's exactly what we did for RR when he was challenged by all the Rino's starting with GHWB.....and our friend from Ohio has the balls to take the fight to the RINO's.....( if you doubt me, look up Terry Dolan ).....so do us a favor and stay home by the fire while the real fighters engage the enemy within our own party.
You see, friend, you gave yourself away by saying that you voted AGAINST CARTER, rather than FOR REAGAN.....that's all I needed to know. You'll be with us aginst BO rather than for SP....and that's fine...just don't go giving advice to young tigers like our Ohio friend....as I said, he and people like him, are the future of this great land.
