Will this be another "Trifecta" for Bush*
Edited on Sun Jun-06-04 08:17 AM by Toots
Will he be making his crude jokes at fund raisers about hitting some "Trifecta" with Reagan's death? This will certainly take the heat off a rather bad few weeks for him and let the GOP wallow in the flag for a while. Is Bush* just lucky or ??????????? Will this allow the GOP to push some right-wing shit through using Reagan as their rallying cry? I'm just glad it happened now instead of in October.

1. I do not think Reagan will provide much cover for the chimp
He does not fare well in comparison.

6. My thoughts exactly
Ronnie's death will inevitably draw comparisons between him and Georgie, and Georgie doesn't measure up (ha! I'm like a joke machine!) in any category.

The irony is, I feel the comparisons will be encouraged by the Georgie camp, and that will backfire.

2. No 'Effin Way
The "Cult of Ronald Reagan" will be killed off by Dimbo when the faithful seek a new leader and find Dimbo has been using them to line his own pockets.

3. I believe that should be "Trifecta", I do not believe Nancy will let
Bush capitalize on the Reagan name. Nancy has had a couple of run ins with the Bush family. Here is another reason why I do not believe Nancy will play the game.

Nancy Reagan breaks ranks for personal cause
Former first lady at odds with Bush over stem cell research
By Bill Schneider

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- When a conservative icon breaks ranks with President Bush on an important policy, it's not just news -- it's the political Play of the Week.

And that's what Nancy Reagan did in her recent comments in support of stem cell research.

In August 2001, after lengthy deliberation at his Crawford, Texas, ranch, Bush issued an executive order banning the use of federal funds to harvest new lines of stem cells for medical research.

Scientists complained that the president's policy -- backed by the anti-abortion movement -- chokes off research that shows promise of one day finding cures for diabetes, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries and Alzheimer's disease -- the terrible malady that afflicts former President Reagan.

Mrs. Reagan wrote to Bush in 2001, saying she hoped sparing other families the pain she had suffered would be part of her husband's legacy. She allowed that fact to become public.
