Friday on MSNBC's "Hardball," the son of former president Ronald Reagan slammed the Republican base as the "the most ignorant 20 percent of America."
"Here's the Republican Party once again presenting themselves with all sorts of Catch-22 situations," Reagan said.
"I assume John Boehner is trying to appeal, as well as to people in his party there in Congress, the 20 percent of America that's really the most ignorant 20 percent of America. i.e., the Republican base. The problem with that is while you are appealing to the ignorant 20 percent, 80 percent of the country think's you're crazy and...."

Predictable bs from a Gay left wing atheist.
He left out the red neck description.
Is there a drug for Gay male menopause?
If so, this maggot needs to buy some.
I’m so sorry for the huge picture!
lmao I do try to do my homework, but "elitist"? Really? I may be a smart guy and am not afraid of calling BS, but I'm no fan of expecting special treatment or bandying credentials. It's better to stand on what one has done in life. The maintenance mechanics and electricians in factories in which I worked didn't see it that way, seeing that as an engineer I'd do work that was too disgusting and/or brutal for them to bother with. I also laid down a very nice bead with 7018. I treated them like the factory depended upon them more than management, which it did. Sometimes I took them out to dinner when we'd worked late. So when I picked up a wrench, the union people didn't bitch because it was such a kick to work together. When I introduced a new process or piece of equipment, they adopted it like it was their own. That's why every process I introduced was successful.
roflol!
He has serious paternal issues...........
Met them both in the early 70’s.
They were both punks.
Maureen was different. Too bad she’s gone.
Only after one semester at Yale, he dropped out of college to become a ballet dancer and even joined the Joffrey Ballet in pursuit of his dream.
He hosted his own daily three-hour show as a talk radio host and political analyst for KIRO radio and later, Air America Radio. Also a confirmed atheist, Ronald Reagan Jr currently resides in Seattle, with his wife Doria, a clinical psychologist.
Yeah, Ron...when I want your opinion, I’ll see to it that you are issued one. Until then, nothing you may have to say is of any moment whatsoever.
This nutcase and his sister are the reasons I would never list Ronald Reagan as one of our greatest leaders.
Michael Reagan is the only good one left..he and Nancy of course
Ron who? Why would anyone care about what this little tooth-fairy thinks?
SEATTLE — Up on the ridge in the little Craftsman-style bungalow, tucked among the Buddha statues on the mantel
No photos of Dad hang on the walls here. There isn’t a single image visible of Dutch, the Gipper, the Great Communicator.
Ron’s brother, Michael Reagan, doubts their father was suffering from Alzheimer’s while in office. “Maybe he was just trying to forget Ron,” he cracks in an interview.
Edwin Meese, a longtime confidant who served as Reagan’s attorney general from 1985 to 1988, accuses Ron of “a cheap trick to sell books.”
Larry Kramer, one of the earliest and most prominent AIDS activists, was one of the louder voices, saying publicly that Ron was gay.
The couple, who met at a Los Angeles dance studio, married Nov. 24, 1980 - 20 days after Ron’s father was elected the 40th president of the United States. They didn’t tell his parents in advance, who at the time weren’t fans of Doria, who is seven years older than Ron. They were suspicious of her motives. (Later, their relationship with his parents would improve, Ron says.) Ron and Doria slipped into a judge’s office in New York, planning to pick up a marriage license, but the judge suggested he marry them on the spot to avoid a media frenzy. The Secret Service agent assigned to guard them served as witness.
The marriage survived the presidential years and the lean ballet years, too - he earned just $11,000 a year as a performer. Fed up with Los Angeles - a place they considered vapid- they settled into the bungalow in Seattle 16 years ago. They paid about $250,000, which was “a stretch” for them, Ron says. The couple have no children but share the home with three cats: Howdy, Binky and Arturo. They park their Subaru Outback in the driveway because the garage is stuffed to the ceiling with “detritus,” as Ron puts it: portable closets, a canoe, a punching bag.
“People think because your father was president of the United States you must be rich,” Ron says. “As it turns out, that’s not true.”
He wends his way to a University of Washington hospital, where Doria, a psychologist, is undergoing treatments for a mysterious degenerative ailment that first hit several years ago. Ron emerges from the hospital holding Doria’s left arm while she leans heavily against a crutch in her right hand.
Although Doria is working, Ron isn’t employed these days. He worked as a television political commentator and radio host, but his show on Air America, on which he tended toward liberal flame-throwing, ended a year ago amid the talk radio network’s bankruptcy. The couple were relying on his union health insurance. But now that he’s got no gig, the insurance expires in a few months. He’s not sure what they’ll do then.
Nancy wasn’t one of my favorites in the old days but with the passage of time I’ve developed a respect for her.
Particularly in ‘04 with the funeral and all.
The ugly, it singed my eyelashes!
The “TEA” party mantra of 2010 sounds a lot like Ronald Reagan in the 1960s.
RRJR knows very little and only has a family name to give him any attention.
Ron Jr. doesn’t deserve to bear his father’s name.
Liberals should hold their tongues about the Republican base; remember Obama phone lady’s eloquent evaluation of Mitt Romney: “He sucks”
They don;t have to flesh out any discussion, just repeat what was said the day before on MSNBCNN...
