Hey, at least you regret it. Repentance goes a long way in my book. I was wrong to say that I couldn't forgive.

For the record, I tried to vote for Reagan in '76 at the age of 12. They wouldn't let me because they said I wasn't registered. Can you believe that? I was disenfranchised, damnit!

When I was five years old living in Birmingham, I would urge people in my neighborhood to vote for Albert Brewer for governor just so that racist scumbag George Wallace would lose. Yes, I was a weird kid.

“Bachmann voted and I think worked for Carter’s campaign.”

Yes, I think you’re right. With her hubby too, no? Is that how they met?

Or am I confusing this with other political love stories?

But she definitely did say she was a Carter supporter.

And why not? My own Republican father supported Carter, because he thought he was a good Christian man.

My republican mother otoh never voted for a non-R in her life for president, nor never would do.

I wonder what mom would make of things today, were she still with us.

Oh, never mind, she would have dropped dead the day Obama won.

Pray for us mom and dad, we are trying to straighten things out down here!

“I will not stay home because my perfect candidate isn’t on the ballot.”

Hear! Hear!

Dr. Scarpetta, I am with you and I would walk with you to those polls, but we probably live in different places.

It is fine, let us fight it out amoungst ourselves. I feel like our choices are better than last time. Oh, except one of them is still Romney. But as you say never mind that.

We’ll squabble now, but we must unite behind the republican nominee for president and make that person the next president of the US.

Because IF THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE IS NOT THE NEXT PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL BE RE-ELECTED AND THIS COUNTRY IS DOOMED. With a capital D but I already capitalized every letter.

NO THIRD PARTIES - NOT FOR PRES IN 2012.

Which is only to make the point that many were Dems in the day before the party jetted off to la-la land and they wised up.

>>>>>... I am reading the Reagan Diaries, and while he talks about voting for FDR 4 times, I cannot find anywhere where he says it was a mistake, or "repents" as you put it. In fact, in at least one entry, he make is clear that it was never his goal to undo the New Deal (the Great Society was a different story).

You're reading the "Reagan Diaries"? Good for you. Great reference book. You might even learn something.

A significant amount of FDR's New Deal was ruled unconstitutional by the SCOTUS of the 1930's. Other parts were repealed during WWII.

The key piece of legislation that came out of the the New Deal was Social Security. When SocSec was created in 1935 Reagan supported it. By the 1950's, Reagan began opposing big liberal government programs like SocSec. Beginning in the early 1960's and for the next 20 years, Reagan spoke out in support of privatizing SocSec through personal retirement accounts controlled by the individual. After Reagan became President he found out that SocSec was the Third Rail of politics. Public opinion was against privatizing SocSec. The House Democrats, led by Speaker O'Neil, forced a compromise on SocSec through the Greenspan Commission. The subject would not be raised again until Bush43 campaigned for SocSec reform in early 2005. Without any success, I might add.

Oh, no problem! One other thing. I forgot TORT reform. Lawyers hate Texas because we have serious TORT reform. You might check out his website. It is, of course, one-sided, but you’ll see some GREAT videos and get an idea of his accomplishments. Turn Hawaii RED!!

When I see that you have learned anything from 2008 I will answer. As I said, I’m a very patient man.

There is no defense of Al Gore, he was a global warming liberal at the time with ACU numbers ranging from 6% to 9%.

No Reagan conservative wanted to replace President Reagan with Democart Al Gore.
