Don't ever believe the lies of the left. Remember what Reagan said, it is still morning in America. And it is still VERY true today. The only decline is in the left and their failed ideology.

Just watched 5 minutes of Reagan telling jokes about the Soviet Union. Wish I'd been a little older while he was running things...

It is hard to believe it has been that long. I worked my precinct diligently for R. W.Reagan for all his campaigns for president, God rest his sweet soul.

Uh, no. Reagan was NOT elected 30 years ago today. He was elected in November, 1980. He was sworn in this time of year but that was in 1981, 29 years ago.

Not that it changes the brilliance of the man. I just can’t stand inaccurate headlines like this.

Thank you. I was trying to figure out the last time we either elected or swore a President in on the 5th of February.

I truly believe Republicans could sweep the 2010 congressional elections if
Reagan’s name was a prominent part of every House and Senate seat campaign.

Reagan is loved or admired by 80% of Americans.

Every campaign theme should be a variation of “WIN ONE for the GIPPER.”

He was elected 30 years ago ... 1980.

Saturday being his birthday, I thought this would be a great way to celebrate his election 3 decades ago.

I wrote "elected 30 years ago" but I guess everyone is reading it as if I had written "30 years ago today."

(At least no one has replied that I misquoted the opening line of the Beagle's Sgt Pepper.)

Reagan Legacy Inspires New Generation of Politicians
By Anita Vogel

Five years after his death and 22 years after his presidency ended, President Reagan's leadership style and policies are still influencing the political debate in 2010.

Ronald Reagan's message to a nation mired deep in recession in 1982 still resonates, as another president facing a crippled economy looks for answers and strives to rally the country behind him.

On Saturday, there will be a party at the Reagan Library to commemorate the president's birthday, replete with a band, 21-gun salute, a military fly-over and a keynote address by Elizabeth Dole, transportation secretary in the Reagan administration and a close friend.
