John Edwards knows the damage that Reagan caused to this country, and he's willing to say it!

Don't forget, today is the big money bomb fundraising day - a grassroots effort to raise so much money for JRE, the media will have to pay attention.

Donate here:



Spread the word about the money bomb!

Go John Go!

:kick:

and calling Old Reagan-Lite on his bullshit and what bullshit it is.

I bet some of those endorsements Obama got must be wondering, "oh shit"

Is not exactly helpful to the Democratic Party.

Don't forget to donate today Fri. 18, to John Edwards... let's break the one-day record and make the media pay attention to John!!! I just donated!!!

none of it for the good in my opinion but it was a huge change

I think a few pennies might have trickled our way :eyes:

Instead he talked about Reagan's "optimism" and "clarity" ~ which sounded very positive.

So horribly unacceptable.

And then there was the dissing of the 60's and 70's, two of my favorite decades.

Definitely unacceptable!

and of course, McClurkingate, I'm really let down by a lot of Obama's decisions and his wording. He needs to step up his game if he wants my activist support if he wins the nominination - till then it's 100% full steam ahead for the people's candidate - JOHN EDWARDS!

TODAY - FRIDAY,
JANUARY the 18th - is the day to donate to the EDWARDS campaign - $7 million dollar challenge - pass it on and donate at johnedwards.com/donate or get items for your donation at store.johnedwards.com

DONATE TO JOHN EDWARDS TODAY AND LET EVERYONE KNOW - Let's make history - His message is OUR message!

Including in his book where he made the same point.

As one of those that Raygun was out to disappear, it hurts me and scares me to know that a "dem" who wants to be president is touting the actions of that despicable man!

:cry:

Bill Clinton killed goddess only knows how many welfare mothers and children with his horrendous welfare deform, and now one can only guess what Obama wants to do to the rest of us.

Can gassing us be far behind?

Actually, just outright killing us would be better than letting us suffer and suffer *then* die.

Suffocating and bleeding are probably more likely for now.

In my position at the bottom of the ladder, that ain't easy, but the more times I can avoid being used, the better I feel about myself.

"Suffocating and bleeding are probably more likely for now."

Yup, the Dems are happy with my suffering, so it will continue until I'm able to stop breathing.

:toast:

:hi: :toast: :hi:

He pulled this country together when we were in total economic collapse.
With his 'New deal' he put America back to work building our infrastructure,
pulled us out of the Great depression and made us proud for all we accomplished
thanks to his leadership-- To me he was the greatest president..

Obama did say he would have Republicans in his administration?
How in the world will that change anything?

Sadly,they want Edwards to disappear ...It's sickening!
John Edwards is not buy-able but he IS viable!
If Edwards gets his message out --
we'd see a landslide victory, in November!

If Edwards is the next President of the United States.
He will take on out of control Corporations,
as did FDR.


"It is time for the president of the United States to ask Americans
to be Patriotic about something other than war" John Edwards

is what this country needs. I'm sure some candidates evoked Reagan to convince republicans to switch parties and vote for them...but I am afraid this strategy has backfired. Edwards better win this election.

Edwards knows Obama wasn't praising Reagan's policies.
I expect some people to have a knee-jerk reaction to Obama's statement without thinking about what he was actually saying. I didn't expect Edwards to encourage and exploit that kind of simple minded reaction. What happened to the old Edwards that used to run positive campaigns?

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."

He makes the argument the DLC made about the size, role of government. When people talk of expanding the pie rather than slicing it they are using smokescreens for talking about cutting back on social programs.

how else do you explain it?

because he has a clear message about reforming this country. Reagan was a really BAD influence on this country and intelligent people will not forget it.
