Try the whole fleet. Ask someone who was born at the time.

This was one of the weakest and cowardly responses to whole lot of our men killed. His own staff said his White House was weak against terrorism.

And, every act is technically a "once and for all" act. I though conservatives believed there were already enough laws in place?

As the responder pointed out, stop trying to give excuses to Reagan when you aren't willing to do it for others.

Whaaatttt??

What are you saying? Are you drunk?

Incoherent.

I didn't "give excuses" to Reagan. Why don't you sleep it off and come back when you can write a coherent post?

Ok, we all know that people can change their minds on issues. Right?

We also know that if Sen. McCain actually believes in something, he's going to stick to it. Right?

We also know that he visited Bob Jones University and listened to the "far right" of the spectrum and shortly thereafter, changed his position on abortion and protecting marriage.

If you pay attention closely to his career, he doesn't act on initiatives for no reason. He is unquestionably a patriot.

Dont' just look at his record, look at why his record is the way it is.

Then look at his current position on the issues. If he's to be taken seriously, then he's headed in a good direction.

Personally I like his position on Pork Barrel Spending. I like his middle income tax cuts. I like his reforms on the civil service system to promote effectiveness. I like his plan for incentives on R&D. I like his position on energy independence.

But the most convincing aspect of McCain, is McCain. He is NOT afraid of the establishment. He has a track record of standing up to party bosses if he feels that they are wrong. Romney would be an obidient party hack, which means that we would have more of the same, because Rove and Co. are not going to go away. With McCain, if he thinks the party has it wrong, he will tell them to fix it.

Am I wrong?

(Oh, and I agree, no-one can kill Rush'es show. But after one year of McCain, I think you will hear Rush change his tune.)

You like that he cast the deciding vote against energy independence? He was the deciding vote blocking our ability to drill more oil within the US and be less dependent on foreign oil.

If someone has an independent mind, but is wrong half the time, is that good?

Yes, the whole fleet withdrew. Nevermind with this guy - he thinks REGULATION caused the S&L disaster.

Not true...Reagan also cut taxes and vetoed tax increases (go ahead, make my day), fought Communism, tough on crime, tough on unions, was againt abortion while President, http://www.priestsforlife.org/govern...oclamation.htm
attempted to cut social spending, believed in small federal goverment with more state power, etc.

Bush Sr was a conservative and at the first election Bush Jr was thought to be a conservative (maybe mostly socially, definitely not fiscally as it ended up). On the other hand, no extreme liberal has ever seen the White House except as a guest.
