Yep, wondered how long it would take.
This is about the third article I've read this AM along the same lines.
Funny part is, since the public affection for Reagan is so obvious, the Dems are between a rock and a hard place.
They feel like they have to say "nice things", but in reality, they thought of Reagan just about how they think of Bush. But I think the Dems are trying to use their "affection" for Reagan against Bush.
I, personally, would rather see the Dem politicians being honest, because I get the feeling they're trying to be dishonest about how they felt about Reagan, in order to shed a negative image on Bush.
In other words, what they say to the press seems like, "Yeah, Reagan, he was a great man. There was a leader we could get along with. Unlike Bush, who is a loner and we can't get along with him or his ways."
First of all, they were absolutely hateful to Reagan during his time in office. There are many quotes already posted of what Kerry said, let alone the rest of them.
Secondly, they are trying to imply that Bush hasn't made an effort to get along and place the blame on HIM for the vitriol in Washington, when it is obvious that it is the democrats who have, from DAY ONE done nothing but criticize and obstruct. I well remember Bush making the effort to speak to the democrat caucus meeting right after his Inauguration. What did he get? Sniping comments about his appearance from people like Pelosi.
Peggy Noonan predicted they were all gonna blow by Friday.
She overestimated their amount of self-discipline.
