1. I think you're confused. It was Hillary who listed Raygun as one of her personal faves...

2. I'm never confused. You, OTOH, are. Obama is the one using Reagan in his speeches, not Hillary

3. Don't forget Obama's book
Pages 156-157 "The conservative revolution Reagan helped usher in gained traction because Reagan's central insight--that the liberal welfare state had grown complacent and overly bureaucratic, with Democratic policy makers more obsessed with slicing the economic pie than with growing he pie--contained a good deal of truth."

5. He didn't say "growing the pie" did he?
Well, I suppose it's not quite "making the pie higher."

4. The only way he can get a Reagan bounce is if he runs against a Republican who HATED Reagan.
How many of that flavor of GOP politician can we find in the current Republican field of candidates? Any of them? Hmmm? No?

8. You shouldn't make up stuff like that, but what else is new.

Hillary never said that and you know it. OTOH, Obama runs around during his campaign kissing Reagan's ass in some of his speeches :puke:

12. Better to have him on some petty list than run around like Obama does singing Reagan's praise
in a feeble effort to stir up Republican sympathy for him :puke:

13. What's the title of the book?
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 08:45 PM by mtnsnake
Oh, wait, it's not a book but it's just a petty politically correct list with tons of other presidents listed on it. Awwwww

21. You hit it exactly. That is what they have been talking about how it will go for
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 09:02 PM by EV_Ares
him in CA and there is where he will get the Independent support which is so important in CA. He is reaching out to the Reagon Dems. Not much of a way to vote the way the poll is set.

18. Obama who? Lee Mercer Jr.!
There is some concern about the Missing Persons in the United States enforcement. Lee Mercer Jr. will enforce Missing Persons missing enforcement regulating itself with its regulations pertaining to itself according to its enforcements to locate missing persons 100% and to stop kidnappings 100%.
