Reagan left the Democratic party because the Democratic party left him.

The Bushes all joined the Democratic party.

Jeb is right, Reagan would have a hard time at age 101.

I would take a 101 year old Reagan over any Bush and Obama!

RINOs.

When they’re not telling us we wouldn’t elect Reagan today, they’re telling us his era is over and to MoveOn.

I’ve often maintained that we electec the wrong Bush when we put W in the White House, and Jeb had a decent conservative record as governor of Florida. But for little Jebbie to call today’s GOP “dysfunctional”, when a huge measure of the blame for the problems conservatives will face when we reclaim the White House and the Senate can in large measure be laid at the feet of “Read my Lips” daddy and Jeb’s budget-busting older brother W, is hutzpah at a world-class level.

How dare Jeb belittle the greatest president of the 20th century.

Nah, I put up with “read my lips” and lied and i do not understand why Reagan made him the VP.

I liked GW until he got involved in foreign wars, which another George warned against. I would have just blown their stupid countries apart and promised to do it again if they wanted to bring it to a test.

But for Jeb to attack the greatest Prez in the 20th Century? Give me a break. He is probably sobbing over the fact that his daddy and his sibling couldn’t measure up.

There are great men, and then there are whiners.

Give me a break!

Blessings, Bobo

Room temperature might be a challenge, too.

Re “veered to the right” — anybody think the Republican party has veered rightward?I can’t think of a single example. NCLB. No resistance to gargantuan government. Huge deficits under Bush. Failure to rein in Fannie Mae.

If his claims were actually true he wouldn’t be saying such things, at least in public; he would be keeping his head low. With Romney winning the republican nomination RINO’s everywhere are feeling empowered in their attacks against conservatives - expect the trend to increase in the coming months.

The Bushes resent Reagan and the conservative members of the GOP.

I was never a Bush bot and the more I hear of the Bushes the less I want to do with any of them.

Jeb and his whole family can kiss my skinny **S.
Two Bushes were more than enough, we don’t need another RINO.

"If his claims were actually true he wouldn’t be saying such things"

Backstabber Jeb's mad because he looks at Wisconsin and sees a future Reagan changing minds because of Conservative reforms, and he sees the governor of his old state standing up to the bullies in the DOJ... meanwhile Jeb's predictable, sanctimonious, pandering vision is getting left by the wayside.

Hey Jebbie?

STFU, you pathetic sack o' RINO-sh*t, go look up Judge George W. Greer and see if he still has your balls floating in formaldehyde on his trophy shelf, Ronald Reagan would NEVER have let a pipsqueak, legally blind backwater probate judge like Greer get away with murdering Terri Schiavo via judicial fiat. The Gipper would have personally led the Florida National Guard and the FDLE to where Terri was being denied food and water, because he had GUTS, something you didn't have, and never WILL have!

I am prepared to take the heat for the following statement.

I believe Reagan was the best president of our era.

However...He was disparaged a lot during his terms.

He became the “best” after he left office and in retrospect.

Why would it even matter to you in the first place if a bunch of economic illiterate leftists disparaged him?
