Why don't the Repug candidates just prop Reagan's body up and put him on stage?

[marmar]

:shrug: Gawd they are the most pathetic group. They're left canonizing Ronnie Ray-gun.

[EstimatedProphet]

1. They did that last week.

[tanyev]

2. They are kicking themselves for not turning him into a zombie before he passed.

Could have made him president for life and let him feed on all the evil godless liberals.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. That's because he's all they've got.

There are no LIVE Republicans they can hold up as admirable in any way. Not that Ronnie was, either, but it's a whole lot easier to hero-worship a dead guy. They are certainly doing a good job of ignoring the Chimperor.

[Olney Blue]

4. Good idea. The discourse could not be any worse.

[blm]

5. And WHY has history been so easily rewritten for the Reagan worshippers?

For those of you who don't already know the answer:

6. because they do the reWriting.. we wouldn't

[DearAbby]

7. They plan on digging up

Ol' Abe Lincoln, to top the Reagan "Tomb" Debate. After that, could be WCW wrestling.

[Gman]

8. I believe the GOP will do that in September

everything else is supposed to happen in September.

[Berry Cool]

9. Because, they all still want a chance to win.

If they do that, he'll get the nomination instead.

[napi21]

10. 'cause if they propped up Reagan's body, a dead man would win the

nomination!

[Poiuyt]

13. How would propping up Reagan help McCain get nominated?

[Gold Metal Flake]

11. HW's hand and arm still fits up the ass, but HW can no longer hold him upright.

Besides, HW is so weepy these days.

[rasputin1952]

12. Why don't they use bush as their poster boy, after all, we think

he is still alive and somewhat functioning, at least he can read a clock, see it is 9:30 PM and realize he's been up an hour late already.

Reagan was a lousy president, and half of his final term, he was suffering from Alzheimers. Far be it from me to knock someone w/such a terrible disease, but is it anywhere NEAR intelligent to allow someone with that debilitation, to serve as president?

[Vidar]

14. No, you spike him to a saddle, mount him up & have him

lead a charge like his buddy, Charlton Heston, did in El Cid.
