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, syndicated conservative talk radio host and son of President Ronald Reagan

I don't snicker with Palin like I do Romney. Problem with her is that she has been effectively smeared since two days after she was the VP nominee in 2008.

She is making too much money at this point to consider running IMO, and the other reason she won't IMO go in 2012 is she wants to probably spend more time in the public eye converting all the regular people to her side.

She is likely to be the next potential President after the one elected in 2012 IMO. By that time her own appearances over the years will make her less smear proof and the Press will have then little or no influence her election.

All my opinion, but I'd be shocked if she ran in 2012.

That said, we can’t stand for NOTHING people running for President under a Republican ticket.

We also need a mostly conservative agenda like Contract With America 2.
Newt could contribute, but he would also be nothing but ignored noise to the general public for 2012.

What is happening is people have seen and heard lots of these people before and IMO are sick to death of them. We all want results, not empty suit personalities.

PS: Little guys is doing well, I get to post because he is SLEEPING near by.
I thought having 50 years on the baby was supposed to give me a great edge. I’m waiting for that edge still. :-) So far this is “YOUTH WILL BE SERVED”.
