Reagans not crazy about W...
NYT article about Ron Jr's yoo-goo-gooley

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/15/politics/15memo.html?pagewanted=1

WASHINGTON, June 14 - As Republicans try to cloak President Bush in the mantle of Ronald Reagan, their biggest obstacle may be Mr. Reagan's own family.

Even before Mr. Reagan died, Nancy Reagan and her daughter, Patti Davis, made their opposition to Mr. Bush's policy on stem-cell research well known. But on Friday, at the culmination of an emotional week of mourning for the former president, his son Ron Reagan delivered a eulogy that castigated politicians who use religion "to gain political advantage," a comment that was being interpreted in Washington as a not-so-subtle slap at Mr. Bush.

But there was this:

First families often cause trouble for presidents. Jimmy Carter, Richard M. Nixon and Bill Clinton each had brothers who made them uncomfortable from time to time....

===

And have any of those brothers crashed an S&L?

2. Not a chance!
Ron Jr. states that he is a progressive and while he will never be a Republican, the Democrats are trying too hard to be like Republicans to suit him. He says he is more liberal than the Dems!
