Reagan was accused of not helping Jerry Ford in 76 and that was a lie, too.
If anyone saw the post-debate TV segments this fall, Mitt was sensational - did a better job for McCain than McCain did himself.
For the record in 76, the Ford people asked for last minute additional help from Reagan and he was previously committed to help other GOP Congressional and gubernatorial candidates. Mike Deaver begged the Ford people to lay out in August what they needed from Reagan; the Ford people either wouldn’t or couldn’t.
Romney does not deserve this antipathy.
Mitt Romney is to Ronald Reagan what a pile of dung is to a bar of pure gold.
Nobody wants to hear your pathetic attempts to turn a slimy, flip-flopping, medicine socializing, gay pandering, lawyer consulting, fast talking, Grecian Formula addict into Ronald Reagan.
The comparison is offensive.
