Both bush's have dropped the ball on the phony baloney 'reagan legacy'

[Philosoraptor]

All day the nazinews has been blaring about reagan's legacy in preparation for tonight's repub debate, and they keep saying the gop is looking for someone to fill ronnie's size 12's.

One thing's for sure, bush's 41 and 43 certainly never gave the gop much to be adoring about, they'd gush on and on about st. ron and his likability and so called communication skills, daddy and jr. could barely put sentences together.

bush one's legacy is he let Saddam go, and he carried a purse, while his son's legacy is filled with thousands upon thousands of dead people and creating an unnecessary war that we can't stop, ever, failing to find the perp of nine eleven after 5 years, and being a total failure idiot drunken crackhead all his life, and rambling incoherently all the while.

But the bush's never could fill those big ol' cowboy boots, not even by converting a hog farm into a phony baloney cowboy ranch and putting a ten gallon white hat on an ape.

2. In all fairness to Dubya, it's hard to be a cowboy

when you are terrified of horses.

6. the myth of reagan

reagan was the last vestige of the western republican conservatives. he did not want bush for his vice president but was forced to take him.after he was shot he started losing grip on his presidency and by the second term the bush team were running the whitehouse. after he was shot nancy did everything she knew to make sure nothing was ever going to happen to him because i think she knew what bush was capable of doing. they used ronny for their own purposes because he was ideal front man.

..the poor kid from dixon went to hollywood and fell in love with a republican...

i maybe a bit sympathetic about ronny because my dad grew up with ronny and during his presidency my dad gave me some interesting insights into ronny the kid in high school to ronny the president

7. I heard an interview in which the historian of the Reagan Library said

it was obvious from the papers he had gone over that Reagan was in the throes of Alzheimer's shortly after he was shot at the beginning of his first term.

Of course Reagan wasn't a cowboy; but he did play them in movies and could ride a horse, unlike Dubya Bush who is afraid of them.

Reagan grew up in Illinois though, where there are only two kinds of cowboys, drugstore and midnight.

8. Fell in love with a republican? I thought this was why he fell in love:

"3. Nancy Reagan was a blowjob queen
According to Kitty Kelley's biography, the future first lady "was renowned in Hollywood for performing oral sex." Back when she was Nancy Davis, the actress reportedly went down on many an actor "not only in the evening but in offices. That was one of the reasons that she was very popular on the MGM lot." You have to shift your conception of '80s conservatives around a little to buy this, but it's worth the effort. — Ada Calhoun"

And the stars were aligned.
