Ron Reagan: Lets It ALL Hang Out
Edited on Tue Jun-29-04 08:11 PM by MarkTwain
Brief Excerpts... Strongly suggest a full read - espcially for our Lurking Freeper Friends whose collective heads will explode. Dale, Jr. and now Ron, Jr. who's next, the "Twins" perchance?

QUESTIONS FOR RONALD P. REAGAN
The Son Also Rises
Interview by DEBORAH SOLOMON
Published: June 27, 2004

- SNIP -

What would you do if Senator Kerry asked you to be his vice president?

I would question his sanity.

- SNIP -

How do you account for all the glowing obituaries of him?

I think it was a relief for Americans to look at pictures of something besides men on leashes. If you are going to call yourself a Christian -- and I don't -- then you have to ask yourself a fundamental question, and that is: Whom would Jesus torture? Whom would Jesus drag around on a dog's leash? How can Christians tolerate it? It is unconscionable. It has put our young men and women who are over there, fighting a war that they should not have been asked to fight -- it has put them in greater danger.

Did you vote for Bush in the last election?

No. I did not.

How did your mother feel about being ushered to her seat by President Bush?

Well, he did a better job than Dick Cheney did when he came to the rotunda. I felt so bad. Cheney brought my mother up to the casket, so she could pay her respects. She is in her 80's, and she has glaucoma and has trouble seeing. There were steps, and he left her there. He just stood there, letting her flounder. I don't think he's a mindful human being. That's probably the nicest way I can put it.

- SNIP -

Wow. Why can't they run the United States with that kind of efficiency?

That's a good question. One thing that Buddhism teaches you is that every moment is an opportunity to change. And we will have a moment in November to make a big change.

3. For the Asshole in the White House
and his Administration of smug, arrogant, and egomaniac Bastards, it's now all unraveling.

7. Ron doesn't care for Cheney at all. No wonder.
How did your mother feel about being ushered to her seat by President Bush?

Well, he did a better job than Dick Cheney did when he came to the rotunda. I felt so bad. Cheney brought my mother up to the casket, so she could pay her respects.
