Comments on: GOP Hopefuls Evoke Reagan At Debate

Vaughn Ververs: Republican Hopefuls Throw Few Punches At Reagan Library In California

[vastr-wcon]

The "LOSER's BALL" was entertaining, as these no-chance-in-he** candidates try to hide from the past 6 years of the most corrupt, despotic, maniacal government ever - all run by Republicans.

One cannot deny that this bunch of geezer candidates is ill-suited to hold ANY public office. Stroll-through-Baghdad Loony McCain, flip-flop-- flop-flip Romney, less-than-empty-suit Guiliani, and a bunch of also-rans that have already been forgotten.

Only the feeble-minded that voted TWICE for the WORST-PRESIDENT-EVER could possibly find anything of value in this bunch. For the rest of humanity, this "debate" was a laugh riot to rival a fox faux news program.

"Freedom is always challenging itself." Don't know who said it, but it seems to me like it wouldn't be a Republican.

[gunownerdan]

Sometimes Ronald Reagan did understand certain important things.....

"Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty."
- Ronald Reagan

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."
- Ronald Reagan

"Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them."
- Ronald Reagan

"Peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means."
- Ronald Reagan

"Politics I supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first."
- Ronald Reagan

"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
- Ronald Reagan

"It's a nasty truth that those who seek to inflict harm are not phased by gun control laws. I happen to know this from personal experience."
- President Ronald Reagan, 1983

No, the Republicans are not going to be rewarded for Iraq and the Federal "response" to Katrina.

It dosn't work that way.

The Mitt won't fit, and the voters won't acquit.

Unless the American people are not as smart as I think they are.

some people beg to be made fools of and Rove knows that.

True word there. He sold them a bill of goods and they bought it all the way. he got the fools believing that Bush was an actual common man rancher, when in fact he's the spoiled rich boy child of a very wealthy family who built his "ranch" in 1999 when Rove told him it would make him look more like Reagan. As the great P.T Barnum said (though some say Barnum didn't really say it) "There's a sucker born every minute" and in 2000 and 2004 they all voted republican. they were hoodwinked, had, taken, conned by a good con man (Rove) who learned at the feet of a great con man (Atwater). At least Atwater had the decency to apologize and ask forgiveness, after he was diagnosed as terminal.

[nyckate]

RandalDS - ROve made his personal fortune through his mass-marketing firm - you know - the ads market Hair-gro pills and Hiar-be-gone pills (they're the same pills!) - so of course Rove already had experience in how stupid too large a percentage of US population can be -- he got rich through their stupidity - so he knew all he had do to was market his true-love George and they'd snap it up - some people beg to be made fools of and Rove knows that.

[nyckate]

processor2 -- oh dear lord - but you neocons are really quite stupid. Ike was a REPUBLICAN you moron.

The thing what sobs like you adn Bush never got was that in Vietnam (as in Iraq) the US is NOT Fighting to defend itself from either country - while those from nam and iraq are fighting for their homes - that's right - so now we have US troops trying to fight off an insurgency that is (1) fighting for their country; (2) fighting IN their country so they know the territory; (3) fighting with the implicit support of their communities (family, friends and neighbors).

So either you and Bush are terribly smart (and cowardly) and decided NOT to fight in Nam or Iraq or you are simply she-men cowards at heart and can't fight.

"Sure hope the Dems get someone we can actually vote for. The GOP only represent the upper crust, so I'll never vote for them again, especially after this past Administration. Maybe it's time for an Independent president (and I don't mean Lieberman)."

MSNBC gonna have a independent debate?

[nyckate]

Rudy evoking Reagan????

That republicans are backing Rudy is the most scary thing -- they are proving that they learned squat from backing THE worst president in the US history George W. Bush - Buss's admin is full of thugs, mugs, thieves, corrupt amoral neocons - the only thing Rudy-n-Judy brings to that mess is straight-out trashy - it's almost funny - but we have to remember that those backing Rudy-n-Judy are the same inbred morons who brought us George-the-Failure.

"just how did this myth arise that the Dems spend more than the cons? Reagan and the chimp both broke the record for deficit spending. Our buddies in korea and Japan wont even buy the bonds anymore. The chimp and good ol walmart"USA" has sold us out to communist china."

Should get Bono to ask the banks to fergive the debt.

[processor2]

The best candidates for today's DemoCrap party would be Lenin & Marx.

The old democrat party of:
"Ask NOT what your country can do for you, but rather what YOU can do for your country"

no longer exists.
And instead has been replaced by the concept of Big Government.

...

PS

A democrat congress running the Iraq war would be like a democrat congress running the Vietnam war.
We all know what a mistake that was

I blame it on Lee Atwater. Even though the myth (and anyone who takes a serious look at it has to agree that it is one) existed before the Reagan years, it was his smear-master, Atwater, who really sold the idea to the rest of the country through great PR and out and out lies. He also sold them the myth that Democrats are weak on defense and law and order, two other piles of garbage. Poetically enough Atwater died at a young age of a brain tumor, but he did leave his evil protege behind, Karl Rove.

[antoniof123]

It keeps getting better and better do the neo cons really think that America will forget the past 12 years of Republicans running this country into the ground. They forced the swing voter to swing the other way and they still are not listening to them.

[jerr11]

Reagan was a patriot, unlike these ten sleaze balls who continue to support the biggest con on the American people, the Iraq war.

This war is costing us 2.5 billion a week! Almost 3400 young Americans KILLED and SHIPPED BACK IN COFFINS, and these ten goofballs still say, be persistent!

They would rather protect the interests of their own party and the neoconmen who have taken it over than to come out and speak the truth.

Where is Chuck Hagel, when you need him?

[iceman_1960]

Anyway, the whole point of mentioning Selene Walters, was to contradict mike's point, that the "liberal media" will always come charging in, if a scandal involves s*ex.

They charged in on Clinton but not on Reagan.

George Soros should ask for his money back.

"Yet Bill clinton who had a mistress as Ark Governer and had 2 women [accusing] him of trying to force himself on them is of course innocent."
- Posted by didntinhale at 10:31 AM : May 04, 2007

That's an old trick of the Smear Campaign Gorillas.

It's called "gang tackling" or "throw a lot of mud at the guy -- some of it might stick."

Broaddrick's accusation against Clinton lacked credibility -- her ex-husband contradicted her tale, she attended a Clinton fundraiser just weaks after the alleged incident.

So the Gorillas got a second woman (what was her name ???) to smear Clinton, who was vulnerable because of Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky.

It's an old Smear trick that goes back at least to Sacco-Vanzetti witch hunt of the early 20th Century.

It was tried with some success against Clarence Thomas, and against John Kerry by the Swifties, who contradicted themselves right and left, but they gang-tackled Kerry and piled on, to get some of the mud to stick [pardon the mixed metaphor].
