Say it ain't so! Saint Ronald Reagan couldn't get elected as a Republican or even as a Democrat today? It's plain as day if you go over his policy decisions. One thing this clears up for me: of course the right-wing thinks President Obama is a Marxist/Socialist/Communist. . .the political discourse has been drug so far to the right (and further all the time), centrist positions now seem "radical leftist" by comparison.

Could Regean be elected today? Doubtful- being divorced and from California and former union leader.
ReplyDeleteProblem today, is that we want saints to be politicians and that rarely happens. We want poltically correct politicians and Regean wasn't and the liberals didn't let him forget it.
In 2012, we probably going to get a bunch of virgins or people as pure as the wind driven snow to run as the GOP but we want perfect people.
Right now,my choice for GOP president would be the governor of New Jersey. He is brash and not afraid to tell off liberals, but the GOP is weak kneed, they would never nominate him.
Our politics is getting absolutely juvenile. Liberals are disillusioned--as though they thought Obama was a magician. Conservatives are WAY over the top in their criticisms. And their top candidates are deeply flawed. I feel like for the next 2+ years, I'm going to have to close my eyes, put my fingers in my ears, and yell "la-la-la-la-la!" until it is all over.
