Reagan in a positive light...Kerry should use this Reagan quote:

[ILeft]

"Those doing all the criticizing had their chance. In the 4 years before we got to Washington, they had it all. They had the whole enchilada. They controlled the Presidency, the United States Senate, the House of Representatives, all the committees of Congress, and the executive branch and hundreds of agencies and departments. They virtually had a free hand, and all they could think to do with that free hand was stick it in your pocket.

Well, they had their chance and failed."

In "your pocket" and your children's pockets. Use this kind of stuff in the campaign and in the first months of the Kerry Presidency!
