What about the Republican Party?
I watched the Republican debates on Fox Thursday night or as I like to call it, the
"I love Regan" contest.
Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani and Ron Paul reminded me of a box full of the cutest puppies all vying for mamma's attention.
McCain: I love Regan!
Thompson: No, I love Reagan
Huckabee: I've always loved Regan!

Chorus: We love Reagan! We love Regan!
Now, I've never heard a Democrat ever chant the name of a Democratic president like that.
Are they supposed to?
Kanye sang it on his new CD Graduation. He called a spade a spade when he did it-
"talking on TV like it's just you and me"
Characterized as getting back to the party line, the debate evolved into all of the Republican candidates trying to prove how far right they were willing to go. And folks, its pretty damn far.
I don't think a poor dummy like me was supposed to hear all of that.
I'm not a Republican. So maybe this is what it is like to be one-I don't know. Matter-of-fact, if this country's electoral college picks one more Republican president, I'll never get to see what it feels like to be one.
Come on delegates-let's get a Democrat in the office please and make it for more than one term.
Let's count the number of years we have had a Republican in office.
-Cut taxes but then spending too-no matter who it hurts.
-Fund the war until the American people protest in the streets and stage sit-ins to make us stop.
-Love president Regan but don't fund stem cell research to help Alzheimer patients.
-Kill the terrorists and make them pay for 911 (can't argue with them there)
According to the Voice of America Web site, Sen. McCain-who leads Republican polls- summed up the Red Right's stance the best.

"In Thursday's debate in South Carolina, McCain emphasized his commitment to conservative ideals, similar to those held by former President Ronald Reagan.
"We have to return to those principles of less government, lower taxes, strong family values, strong national defense, and those [values] that made us the Reagan revolution that brought about a new dawn of a new day in America," VOA writes of McCain.

It's nice that they all love the 80s. I remember the era of Regan and he apparently was not intact during his last few years in office and the Iran Contra hearings and the inundation of coc-i-ena into this country and the Republicans not wanting to fund stem cell research-something that can help Alzheimer patients-a disease that affected our beloved former president.
