Tired of "Liberal" Google and AOL? Michael Reagan Selling @Reagan E-Mail Addresses

Conservative talk radio host Michael Reagan, eldest son of former president Ronald Reagan, is selling @Reagan.com e-mail addresses on his website with an appeal to conservatives to stop giving their money to companies he casts as tied to liberalism.

Writes Reagan: "People who believe in true Reagan Conservative Values are unwittingly supporting the Obama, Pelosi and Reid liberal agenda! What do I mean? Well, every time you use your email from companies like Google, AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, Apple and others, you are helping the liberals. These companies are, and will continue, to be huge supporters financially and with technology of those that are hurting our country."

"Is that where you want your money to go? I didn't so I changed things," he continues. "I came up with the very first conservative email service provider. You now can put your name next to the name of the Greatest Conservative of all, my father Ronald Reagan."

Reagan also pushes the message in the video above, where he claims that 90 percent of the money sent to Washington by the e-mail providers he mentions (which largely do not charge for an e-mail address) goes to politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Microsoft Corp., which owns Hotmail, has given 53 percent of its campaign donations to Democrats since 1990, and 46 percent to Republicans. Time Warner (home of AOL) has given 72 percent to Democrats, while Google's PAC has given about $103,000 to Democrats and $72,000 to Republicans in the 2010 campaign cycle. (The company's employees give largely to Democrats.)

@Reagan.com e-mail addresses cost $34.95 per year (through tomorrow, after which prices go up). Reagan says those who purchase the e-mail addresses will also get a DVD of his father's famous 1987 "Tear Down This Wall" speech at Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.

Proceeds from the sales "will help me promote true Reagan values to win back our country in November and in 2012," says Michael Reagan's website. In the video, he discusses how he is speaking around the world to get conservatives elected.

Why would anyone want an email account that was associated with the father of the current economic crisis? Idiot@voodooeconomics.com...
Reagan will be remembered as one of the worst presidents ever. Why do conservatives have such a penchant for electing idiots? Oh, yeah because they are idiots.

I suppose you have to promise to do nothing for the little guy and bail out reckless millionaires with trickle down Reagan voodoo economics. Notice how the conservatives skipped right over Bush.com... longing way back to the good old days before the savings and loan bubble popped- two recessions ago...

Actually, Reagan and Wyman had three children. Michael was the only one that was adopted, and one of the two girls died shortly after after a premature birth. Yes, Reagan died of Alzheimer's disease, and likely had lost control of his bodily functions due to that terrible disease. I am a C-6 incomplete tetraplegic and, although I regained enough control after several weeks of spinal shock to become independent, I have friends who have not. Jaques Steen is a typical liberal, accusing conservatives of insensitivity while lacking entirely of his own. This kind of boorish behavior is all too common.

So your @reagan.com proceeds go to help Mr. Reagan fly around the country making speaking speeches for which he is no doubt paid. Snake oil, anyone?

Man, what a shyster.
Reminds me of the guy that sells green handkerchiefs from god on tv at 3 in the morning (with the bonus vial of holy water)
I've no doubt that many conservatives will buy into it, they aren't too bright.

reagan told us all to hate our country... "government is the problem"

we are the government reagan-you schmuck.

before reagan became governor of california college for residents of california was free... reagan killed that (keep people stupid and you can do whatever you want to them)

Iran-contra, calling ketchup a vegetable, whacking school funding while putting our citizens in prison, taking credit for the fall of communism which was so broke they were on life-support while at the same time trying to bankrupt america, tying funding for food and health to the anti-abortionists (abortion is a necessary medical procedure)and on and on reagan is with his god now, "money, money, money"

addnarm -- You think you're the government? That's what the founding fathers intended but it's grown way beyond the control of the people. The only kind of government that the people can have say in is localized government with most of the power and an extremely limited federal government. That's what the founders set up but that's not what we have today.

Yeah, the "looney" left sold arms to terrorists - no, that was your Dear Leader Reagan, the traitor and America hater.

The problem with you conservatives is that you have no loyalty to our great nation. When given the choice between country and party, you choose party, and to hell with America.

The greatness of Reagan is that he exposes you all for what you are; unprincipled, unethical and un-American.

Hey Jumkey ~~~

Like I said, I've found the liberal loony bin......you take the cake!

The Liberal Creed: Self First, Party Second, Country Third, and God got lost in the shuffle.
