Come back Ronald Reagan! (and bring John Wayne with you)

At the time of Pearl Harbor, Wayne was 34 years old. His marriage was on the rocks but he still had four kids to support. His career was taking off, in large part on the strength of his work in the classic western Stagecoach (1939). But he wasn’t rich. Should he chuck it all and enlist? Many of Hollywood’s big names, such as Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and Clark Gable, did just that. (Fonda, was 37 at the time and had a wife and three kids.) But these were established stars. Wayne knew that if he took a few years off for military service, there was a good chance that by the time he got back he’d be over the hill

It is the lives they led and the way they fought for right in a period of so many wrongs.

Are you seriously comparing the achievements in the fight for the right put forth by Ronald Reagan and those of John Wayne?

What's wrong with you?

[NordP]

I hear you. I agree. You may want to listen to Duncan Hunter to find your John Wayne.

Fred and Duncan would make a great team!

I see you are here; I don’t have to ping you. :^)

[NordP]

See my post above. I so wish Duncan could be our number 1, top tier candidate. Sometimes the very thing we seek so desperately... is right there in front of our faces.

[Samwise]

Ronald Raegan would disagree with you.

Good morning, Nord!

I'm with you....I think Duncan is the real deal!

I truly feel he is the most qualified to lead our country during these times. I was lucky enough to meet him at a SD Republican monthly meeting and this is a man that doesn't waver from his beliefs!

What a fabulous bit of reading. Thank you.

John Wayne achieved greatness as an actor. Ronald Reagan was an actor who achieved greatness as a President.

They were both great men; they were friends; and they fought the same enemies in the ways that only they as individuals could.

I don’t think either of them would accept criticism of the other.

[NordP]

GOOOD Morning! It's just so sad that Duncan isn't given more time by the press, and that America's wish for a man with character, eloquence, core/family/Republican/Conservative values, military/World experience and a son presently in Iraq, ...ISN'T THE FRONT RUNNER!

Hunter is good, decent, and can speak. What a shame..right in front of our noses...such a great guy!
