Reagan had it bad - as a Democrat at the time, I believed he was a patriotic American and even I saw how bad it was. He was called: reckless, dunce, senile, warmonger, relied on astrology and on and on.
The difference was there was only a handful of TV networks and media outlets. Now, with the Internet, cable, talk radio and thousands of liberal nutcases digging through trash cans its much worse.
I also believe there was some respect, even among most liberals, for candidates that is completely vanished now. BDS and now PMS has gone way beyond the normal political disagreements into a concerted effort to destroy people politically AND personally.
American politics, thanks primarily to the left, is a bloodsport. That is why the next few elections need to be won in landslide fashion, to check the growing madness of the left.
Keep in mind that your tax dollars fund most of these ACORN and government/campaign workers sifting through trash cans and databases. That has to be halted when we have real leadership in DC.
I find it difficult to believe that Sarah wouldn’t even accept government funds to help her fight Troopergate, even though the charges were brought against her by the legislature.
This is a woman that I could never cross.
Yes, Reagan was vilified. I worked at a university and the professors hated him...even talked about how the makeup dripped off of him....pure hatred.
