Ronald Reagan is back until November
The Repugs are going to be dragging out the memory of Reagan at fundraisers, tributes, renaming of buildings, ad nauseum. They are going to promote his death to death. We ain't seen nothing yet. Rove is rubbing his hands together with glee. Ronald Reagan won't be buried until after the election.

1. Sorry. They created their own monster. American's attention span
even for the Freepers (I bet) is pretty short. This will not work.

3. Good point lil'Apple. Mostly they LIKE the short attention span.
"Abu What"? But they won't like it as much here. I'm sure the RW media machine won't let us down trying to fan this flame as much as possible though.

6. Agreed..... they will try, but to now end....
Bush* will have to stand on his own and not Ronnie's legacy

2. Time for a little compare and contrast.
Reagan played to peoples' hopes while Bush plays to peoples' fears. Reagan actually worked for what he got while Bush was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

4. Remember Wellstone? Can you say "double standard"?
Good, I knew you could.

5. This beating of a dead horse
will, over time, appeal only to the base supporters.

In time, they'll be preaching to just the choir.

9. All we have to do
is contrast Ronnie and chimpy. Play one of Ronnie's speeches. Then compare that with what we have today. This is not good news for KKKarl.
Plus the fact that Nancy has absolutely NO love lost for the bush gang.
When repugs remember Ronnie and the attention turns to *, it should sicken all but the base.
