“The Republican Party and the Bush White House [have] walked away from Republican ideals and they walked away from Republican values.”

It wasn't just after 2000. Whatever happened to the 1994 “revolution”?

I can agree with what Mr. M. Reagan says about the way the campaigns were ran but in actuality that is what most Americans are looking for. Something new. America is tired of the divisiveness of Karl Rove and the Republican party.

The Republican party will need to redefine its in the next 4 to 8 years. If they continue to reach back to the Reagan era and will become a sideline party once again.

If you, the rest of your swiftboating party (the Limbaughs, Hannitys, Coulters, etc., etc.), Sarah Palin and John McCain, had only listened to the words of your father,

“Whatever else history may say about me when I am gone, I hope it will record that I appealed to the best hopes , not your worst fears.”

you might have had a chance.

Your party has not kept pace with the times, and reaching backwards will shrink its ever shrinking minority status even further!

But at least you are honest about your motivation— you don't want YOUR taxes to rise– you don't think you should have to invest in the country that you purport to love so much. And that is just sad.

i urge you to continue this line of thinking for the next 4….shoot how about 8 years.

you, and the rest of the wingnut talkers will make sure that even more progressive dems will end up in congress, and they will continue to hold onto the presidency.

the only thing you missed is blaming the “liberal media”….you know, the same one that for some reason couldnt stop the republicans from taking the senate and the house during 94….couldnt stop bush from being elected in 2000 and 04…that liberal press.

bush 1 was right when he called your father's policies, “voodoo economics”….oh sure, it worked for awhile, but it was all smoke and mirrors….and when finally, the smoke lifted and the mirrors all broke…there was no there, there.

but you keep talking…..oh and please, for the sake of your party and country….keep pushing palin for 2012….or at the very least, bobby jindal

oh, and dont you worry…there wont be a return of the fairness doctrine…we want to keep you guys talking….and talking….and talking

Oh, yeah, I forgot.

It seems the elder Reagan is unable get past the blatant lies and fear mongering stages of political grief.
