stem cell research is a major issue in people minds
Nonsense, ka-ka, blither/blather, phooey blahblahblah. Nancy is still mourning the death of her husband. End of story.
Nancy is an old lady racked with grief. Would she REALLY sacrifice babies so that her husband could have been saved from Alzheimer's?
Ron is still a teenager rebelling against his dad. Grow up, boy!
Nancy Reagan is a self-centered occultist weirdo.
Ron Reagan Jr. is a simpering, whimpering fairy.
The fact that Reagan could love both these jokers as much as he did proves that his heart was great and giving enough to also defend the unborn.
The tragedy of Ronald Reagan is that his vile family is striving to undo his legacy.
Nancy Reagan is still in mourning and I can't blame her for not wanting to get into the political fray this year. As far as I know she still supports President Bush though and I don't think her lack of appearance at the GOP convention will hurt Bush that much. I do hope Michael Reagan has an opportunity to speak in rememberance of his father though. As for Ron Reagan, he is just a spoiled brat, who clearly has never really grown up.
But Bush was going to gain so many votes by pandering to liberals and signing the Stem Cell Research legislation that angered so many of those pesky, embarassing, ultra-conservatives Rove told to get out of the "New Big Tent".
Gee, talk about your liberal ingrates.
Leave her alone. She doesn't need the likes of MM bashing her and Reagan right now.
The CONSERVATIVE, PATRIOT movement moves on, with or without them.
It isn't wrapped around anyone person, either.
Don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out, is all I can say.
Let's move forward. We can win without them anyway.
Nancy Reagan is a self-centered occultist weirdo.
Ronald Reagan Jr. is a simpering, whimpering fairy.
The fact that President reagan was great-souled enough to love and care for these two jokers proves that he was great-souled enough to defend the unborn from murder.
The tragedy of President Reagan is that his nearest and dearest, out of their lust for self-promotion, are trying to destroy his legacy.
Oh, fine. I'll say it.
It strikes me as ungrateful and small of Nancy not even as much as to film a brief thank you, at very least, to the party which loved and loves her husband, and which poured out its heart to her in her grief.
Instead, by her silence, and given her son's treachery, she de fact enables those who most hated and hate her husband and everything he stood for.
Given Nancy's failure, Michael Reagan should speak.

Ron Reagan has had his one and only fifteen minutes of fame. Nancy Reagan has had her day! The truth is both these folks don't matter one iota to the outcome of this year's Presidential election. After the election, Ron Reagan will disappear into the black hole of obscurity. He played his card and now he is of no use whatsoever to the Democrat Party or MSNBC.
Stem cell research is not even on the radar screen of most votors. The few that do have strong feeling one way or the other are still not likely to change their vote because of it. The issues that will shift votes this year will be Terrorism, War in Iraq, and the economy. This just isn't a "social issue" election year. No major social issue is really on the radar screen, How much talking have you heard either candidate do about gun control, abortion etc. The only social issue I can think of that is even remotely on the radar screen is gay marriage and that heavily favors Bush.
I'm of the opinion she's always been a closet liberal.....keeping her ideology under wraps because of her adoration for her husband.
It's my fervent hope that Nancy continues gracefully on the American scene without teaming up with her idiot son in some of his weird leftist causes.

The story tells it like the Bush campaign worked hard to get her to show and was rebuffed. I would be willing to bet that they actually had enough class to know that she was still in mourning, that she would not want to be a counterpoint to Ron Jr., give the impression of gutter fighting in the family, and that she believes that stem cell research is the way to go which runs counter to the President. The combination makes it an awkward situation. I would bet that the Bushies offered her the opportunity and didn't put any expectations or pressure on it.
How about the only "real" Reagan still alive -Michael?
Obviously Nancy doesn't believe that Kerry is as dangerous as we do.
Why would she sit on the sidelines when a brief show of support is all that's being asked? I know she's in mourning, but your country calls on you both when it's convenient and when it's not.
Seems that Nancy and Ron have gotten so hung up on embryonic stem cells that they have forgotten there are two other sources of stem cells. Too bad they prefer to kill human beings to get stem cells than to use cells from umbilical cord blood or bone marrow.
I saw the speech. It didn't strike me as impassioned. Ultra condescending, yes. Impassioned, no.
"The 'not feeling up to it' line is bull----," the official said. "Something happened in the last month, and whatever it was was real."
What an @$$!
I don't care what stripe he wears, this guy's a certified, grade 'A', #1 Choice-Cut @$$hole.
