“It is an embarrassing joke for you to continue to compare Christine O’Donnell to Ronald Reagan.”
Predictable- I knew you would say something like that...
Look, Reagan was a one-in-a-billion guy, one of the greats of all time. Nobody alive today IMO can be compared to him. My point- which I’m sure will be lost on most establishment zombies- is that Reagan was demonized by the left and the Rockefeller-Ford right for being a “mental lightweight”; a guy who just gave a good speech, etc. Go back and actually read the things that were said about him at the time- they were very similar to all the epithets that are hurled at O’Donnell. He was a C student at a no-name college, a washed-up B-movie actor, a divorcee pretending to be a social conservative, an aloof father (according to his own kids), blah, blah, blah...
But that would take a little honesty to accept this, wouldn’t it?
Liberal demonize all republicans, it’s par for the course. My point is that Reagan was an accomplished man, even before he ran for office. You can demean being an actor, but that’s falling into the same mindset as his liberal critics. O’Donnell’s resume is paper thin in comparison. Critics called Reagan a mental lightweight and it didn’t stick because it Reagan had the charisma/intelligence/experience to parry it and make the critics look like the fools. For whatever reason, it did stick to O’Donnell (and I don’t think she is an idiot).
