Sorry, kiddoo. I see, now, you were already in the thread.

[nopardons]

Spot on and Rudy is FOR all of those things.

As you may have noted in history class, we had a heck of a time getting Rutherford Hayes into the White House. It was worth it. He abolished greenbacks by paying them off in gold at full face value, abolished the unconstitutional federal income tax, balanced the federal budget and ended reconstruction. What could he possibly have done for an encore? So, he went home to Ohio.

Viva! Ole!

Thanks for your kid words.

[Reagan Man]

Ouch!

[mockingbyrd]

Hey thanks. Now when people ask me who my favorite president is I'll have a new answer.

[BlackElk]

I tend to be on your side on the social issues. So does Onyx. You are not handling this well. Do I have some obligation to comment on your every post?

[onyx]

LOL You're always bored.

Does it seem that way to you? Heck, you're not even my favorite pinata....lol.

[wagglebee]

Maybe he's been busy reading up on William Henry Harrison's "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" campaign.

[BlackElk]

RM: That makes four!

[onyx]

LOL! You're quite the wonderful gentleman, Black Elk.

((( HUGS )))

[nopardons]

He's a protectionist and a BIG GOVERNMENT SPENDER.

If he makes past next February, it will be surprising; VERY surprising.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Now we know who your DADDY is......

[nopardons]

That isn't what you said and as for the rest...........it's PRESIDENT BUSH and has been since 2001. Yet the same complaints and vicious, vile, specious, spurious claptrap was hurled at him, right here on FR, in '98, '99, and most of 2000.

Roland Hand? Not THE Roland Hand?

You're the only newbie newer than me!

The so called "11th Commandment" is applied so conveniently to so many things. He actually used it as a defensive manuever. Let's be blunt here -- Reagan could say some of the nastiest things about his opponents....cutting them to the quick....but he did it in the most deft, pleasant way and with a smile....so artfully that most never noticed.

Now the 11th commandment is conveniently used by mostly moderates and RINOs to protest any ideological disagreement.

[nopardons]

And the CONSERVATIVE pundits, who used to use FR, daily and quote posts, as though they were their own research and/or words, and now running away from here as fast as they can.

[nopardons]

I am now, but came late to it. Thanks to you and your ping, I came to this thread, when I logged in. :-)

I hated LBJ, but I already know I hate Hillary more.

Stay focused: Hillary must be defeated.

[Reagan Man]

LOL I'm handling this fine, but you're not. You didn't even bother to get all the facts before you reached your conclusion. I get it. You see only what you want to see. Fine.

[onyx]

Indeed and I'm proud of it and of him!!!
