Geeze.... There was a whole speech it is rather crude and infantile to do the Abrams thing and select out of it for purpose of DECEPTION to bear false witness.....

IF Abrams really has the credibility of a slug he would NOT rip out a short paragraph without NOTATION there was much more said and TWIST it to sound how LIARS want it to sound.

Yes, it was a harrowing experience. I’ll tell ya, I would quit if it wasn’t for the free yacht and the big bucks Jim pays me ;-)

Newt's OK and was almost always on board with Reagan in those years. It's a ridiculous line of attack for the Mittens crew. Romney's an oily one.

If anyone was against Reagan and his policies especially economic it was that liar Romney

That is what Rush should be harping on but I think it is too late the damage is done

I noticed that the “impartial reporter” Drudge does not show this article “Elliott Abrams Caught Misleading on Newt” on his website.

Drudge has it up on his site now (I don’t want to take credit but I emailed him the article about 2 hours ago)

We need to have a Septuagenarian Rally. Only problem is, I’m not eligible until next Friday!

As it tuirns out, there was a lot more “Reagan criticism” in the full speech, which has now been posted on the web so we can all make our own decision. It appears neither Abrams nor Lord were really “truthful” about the speech; the truth, as I said before, is somewhere in between, and each side selectively quoted to prove the point THEY wanted to make, not to give us the “full story”.
