Reagan hologram at the RNC convention - they really were considering it!

[Poiuyt]

Despite some conflicting reports, Yahoo News has learned that a holographic projection of former President Ronald Reagan is in the works and was originally intended to debut outside the halls of the Republican National Convention this week. But its official unveiling has been put on hold until later this year or early 2013.

However, Reynolds says he discussed the idea with a number of Republican activists who asked him to delay the project out of concern it would overshadow Mitt Romney's acceptance speech.

Yeah, they don't want to have a dead guy overshadow the leader of the republican party.

7. in 2008, I once commented that McCain fellated his putrid corpse nightly.

I think Norquist, Armey, Hucksterbee, et al., have taken over for John recently....

5. They should just make holograms of Jeebus...

John Wayne and Reagan, surrounded by angels that look like fetuses, and have them all float down onto the stage to endorse Romney.

6. BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

Their base would go nuts for that!!!!!

10. They have...

their own personal Jesus (now that song will be stuck in my head). Their Jesus ain't no pinko

On edit: changed hed to head. Damn autocorrect, forces capitalization of Jesus but allows me to misspell head.

11. They could have reanimated Reagan's corpse and it would have been better than Clint Eastwood

That was just pathetic.

12. They should have gone with the hologram!
