Most people look at the statistics of Congressional incumbents winning re-election more than ninety percent of the time and leap to the conclusion that replacing the entire Congress in less than a decade would simply be impossible. One definition of ingenuity is "making the impossible, possible." History says "American ingenuity" is legendary. Our small group believes our plan is ingenious and that FreeRepublic is destined to become a legend in its own right.
We have added what will serve as a continuously updated "sitemap" of the article series while they are being posted to "Vintage Freeper's about" page.
Ping.
Only one I see like him today...and she’s a girl. That doesn’t mean she will or should be President, or even wants to be. Our adversary defines the new Reagan by the amount of urine and spittle released.
No.
Ronald Reagan never quit.
Next door, working for a living, and wanting to be left alone from an increasingly intrusive and opporessive government.
What deters them from stepping forward and seeking public office?
Lack of money, sense of humility, not wanting themselves or families dragged through the media mud bath.
When the SHTF these people will emerge victorious from the conflict and chaos (literal, not figurative), much like the Founding Fathers, and restore this republic to its former glory.
See you there, fellow Patriot.
FWIW to a man the Founding Fathers, (the authors of the Constitution) were compromisers. The Constitution is a textbook example of how great things can be achieved if men of good faith are principled to a point but willing to compromise in order to achieve a better good.
Ronald Reagan was a consummate compromiser. He worked with a congress that despised him (on both sides of the aisle), gave them enough of a bone to keep them pacified and in the end achieved great things for this country.
The only problem we face today is that on the Democrat side, there are few, if any, men of good faith. Democrats today are drunk with power to a point where not even Ronald Reagan could pacify their insatiable appetite for totalitarian centralized power.
More than anything else we need to have conservatives in power in the Senate and Congress.
Currently, no. Go back and listen to Ronald Reagan speak. There is a ton of stuff on the web. When I hear an old Ronald Reagan speech I feel good, about myself, about America. Then I feel sad that he is gone. We have some good folks on our side, but we don't have a superstar. We need to play the team we have for the win and stop the infighting for wont of a better Captain.
There will NEVER be another “Ronald Reagan”, because that RR, as we remember him, never really existed.
This is actually true!
The problem is they use money stolen taxed from the people who created it (not printed, created) to buy the constituency groups.
Let me say that I’m humbled by the responses so far.
Possibly Marco Rubio, Herman Cain, George Allen, and Rick Santorum. The 2006 election removed the last two as frontrunners. Rubio would probably admit himself that he should finish his first Senate term before running.
