This is laughable. Have they ever even thought to do a side by side comparison of policy between Reagan and the Tea Party to see just how similar they were?

Now do that same side by side comparison with what Moron’ Joe’s policies would be. Or, whatever RINO, the Joe would actually support (since I have never seen him actually support any republican).

“The only exception was the election of Ronald Reagan. But that was only 8 years out of 159.”

I would count Coolidge too, except that he wasn’t the choice for President by the party apparatus in 1920. He stayed on to run in 1924 because the GOP saw he was popular with the people and did not to mess up a sure thing. Otherwise, he was of no use to them.

Quite frankly, Coolidge was more conservative than Reagan (and I loved Reagan).

“Argo” is everything a film should be.

my impression is that many if not most, including Affleck, are surprised it made recognition.

It’s great even with its bending over backwards to put that awful Jimmy Carter in a good light, and, while mentioning the other hostages, not mentioning anything about the terrible fiasco it was getting them out.

Am sure Affleck is to some degree horrified to see the contrast of responsibility toward the embassy staff, as it should be with our SOS’s what difference does it make attitude.

Unintended, loooking at the timing

That’s my review.

Ratings:

The theme is for all seasoned current events watchers and is a breath of fresh air in its atttempt at honesty- of people handling strees and doing their jobs. I know a 15 yo who loved it. Some tough language and nasty terrorrism scenes. No sex, family in good light. Skimpy clothing with the Hollywood scenes.

Don’t miss this on the big screen.

Let me know.
