Win One For The Gipper?

[mark414]

I only have the internet at work, so if someone posted something like this earlier in the weekend I apologize for the repeat.

But, do you think Reagan's death will become sort of a rallying cry for the right in November, and if so, will it have any reasonable effect?

Discuss.

1. With what? with Bush*? He ain't no Reagan (for what that is worth!)

Comparisons between the "communicator" and the "descombobulator" are going to hurt Bush*.

Bush* himself appears not to want that:

At the end of the interview, after all the usual platitudes:

Brokaw: “Thank you, Mr. President.”

Bush: “Tom.”

Brokaw: “You think of yourself as a Ronald Reagan Republican?”

Bush: “Think of myself as a George W. Republican, different era.”

A GEORGE W. REPUBLICAN???? HE IS NOT EVEN OUT OF OFFICE YET! HE IS NOT DEAD YET! HE HAS SCREWED UP!!! SO WHAT IS A GEORGE W. REPUBLICAN!!!!

3. What a George W. Republican is

Bush is a clean-shaven Hitler, so obviously a George W. Republican is a Nazi with a flag lapel pin instead of a swastika armband, one who hates Muslims instead of Jews.

Reagan was real bad, in some ways worse than Nixon, but Bush is worse. At least when Reagan spoke, sentences were formed and most of the words were in the dictionary.

2. I'm sure the bumper stickers have already been printed

BUSH/CHENEY '04 Win One For The Gipper! :puke:

4. Ain't gonna happen. There will be no miracles this time

for the 'Pukes. "Reaganism" has mutated into a form which is pleasing less and less people.

And remember, at heart, Reagan was still essentially a Dem (and he admired FDR)

5. Compared to Reagan's charm, Bush looks like an "idiot", as Nancy said

It's ironic to see George H. W. on TV this morning talking about what close friends he was with Ronnie. The Reagans always hated the Bushs. Nancy later claimed she wasn't surprised to see little Georgie, "the village idiot", become president, but she was.
