Sounds frightening, doesn't it? One of my readers sent me this column from Nancy Scola. Click here to read.I have gone back and forth on my feelings for President Reagan. I didn't like him when he was in office. I appreciated him a little more later on in life. Now....I don't know...maybe his D looks so much better than President Bush's F right now.
I think perhaps my grandfather, at 91 years young, put it best. Bear in mind, he did vote for Reagan twice.
"What do I think of President Reagan?" Poppo asked in response to my question regarding our 40th president.
"Well, he was a good actor."
Amen, Pop, amen

Yes, by all means. Let them done the Reagan mantle. Eight years of screwing over 99 percent of the country while igniting the spark that turned into Al Qaeda.
What a track record.
Au contraire, if any conservative can successfully don the Reagan mantle, it will be a Reagan vs Mondale style and outcome of race.
On a personal note, it was liberals’ reaction to Reagan that prompted my initial interest in politics and actually drove me toward becoming a conservative. …I was in junior high when some loon tried to assassinate him and when it was announced on the school intercom, many in the classroom actually cheered. I could never identify myself with that type of mentality.
WARNING: LOONEY CONSPIRACY ALERT POST AHEAD!!
Dave, I have always had the notion that Reagan really changed his tone to be more conservative after he got shot. Here's some meat for you to chew on:
According to AP, UPI, NBC News and Newsweek, John Hinckley Jr. is the son of John Hinckley Sr., chairman of oil company Vanderbilt Energy Corp., and one of Vice President George H.W. Bush's larger political and financial supporters in his 1980 presidential primary campaign against Ronald Reagan. Also, John Hinckley Jr.'s older brother, Vanderbilt vice president Scott Hinckley, and the Vice President's son Neil Bush, had a dinner appointment scheduled for the next day.
Hmm...very interesting.
