Having MSNBC show a tribute to Ronald Reagan is like having Hitler emcee a bar mitzvah.
Yea. Didn't you know they are cousins???
lol!
They are focusing on Perry. The other candidates ought to say, “Dudes! We’re ALL HERE FOR YOU!”
Just got teary seeing Mrs. Reagan.
I always get weepy.
I knew he was great then.
I know better how really great he was, now.
Imagine a President who actually loves his country again.
Agree..I felt that Newt won the last debate also.
Yeah, well. If even he says it’s bad, that probably mean it’s close to beyond repair.
Sorry to say I voted for Carter....ewwww> But by 1984 I had been a 3 year conservative convert and I PROUDLY voted for Reagan!
Sheesh, another debate where Cain gets half the questions of everyone else. PLEASE. Shows who they are most afraid of. Honestly.
Yes, seeing the old film of Nancy at his casket broke my heart. She looked moved at the tribute tonight.
Perry just grabbed the third rail. SS
Steve Buscemi gets shot in the neck in “Fargo”
I’ll admit to a lump in my throat during that tribute. Not only for the Reagans, but for the reminder of what a decent, pro-American presidency was.
PONZI SCHEME!!!!!
I see they listed Mutt’s Haaaaaarvard credentials but very few education history of the others.
Perry seems to have “lost” a lot of his normal Texas twang tonight.
Yep, he is done as of tonight (Ron Paul). The IRONY of it all is that this debate is taking place at the library of the man he despises.
Nice slam of Rove by Perry!
Huh?
