Welcome Back, Dad

I've been trying to convince my fellow conservatives that they have been wasting their time in a fruitless quest for a new Ronald Reagan to emerge and lead our party and our nation. I insisted that we'd never see his like again because he was one of a kind. I was wrong! Wednesday night I watched the Republican National Convention on television and there, before my very eyes, I saw my Dad reborn; only this time he's a she. And what a she! This was Ronald Reagan at his best -- the same Ronald Reagan who made the address known now solely as "The Speech," which during the Goldwater campaign set the tone and the agenda for the rebirth of the traditional conservative movement that later sent him to the White House for eight years and revived the moribund GOP. Welcome back, Dad, even if you're wearing a dress and bearing children this time around.

~Michael Reagan, conservative talk show host, son of President Ronald Reagan

She’s the only reason I could stomach voting for Mclame.

I dunno, there is a lot of Palin idolatry running around and I hope many people aren’t in for a major let down. She’s smart, conservative, beautiful, well spoken and pretty honest.

If nothing else she’s raising the bar for other candidates and America will be the better for it. Funny how leftists are the ones fighting against the woman and the GOP still can’t get out of its own way to leverage it.

Thank you for the Reagan quote. The Gipper was a giant, appearing at a time conservatism was flat on its back. Until October he couldn’t get a break in the 1980 campaign, but Carter turned mean and the media called him on it, something they would never do to a Democrat today.

Bottom line is, we need somebody. Why not Sarah?
