Garner, a true American hero, in my book. Any comments on the Reagan "hysteria?" Plenty to disagree with Reagan on. Could have voted for him but didn't. No regrets. Surely better than Mondale/DuKaka.

Bleah!
I LOVE the US (too) but don't go to extremes on either side, so I still can't, in good 'faith' (so to speak) vote a conservative OR liberal ticket.
And most candidates' party platforms prevent them from achieving any 'balanced view' that I COULD support!
Yes, I feel very lonesome, that way.
... In My Never-So-Humble Opinion (imnsho)...
Most of the 'actors' of Garner's ilk and after are, on average 'outspoken' about their beliefs AND enjoy the mass media's providing them the bully pulpit to speak from...
But they are also the epitome of people who "get handed speeches to present," too!
And then they have the nerve to critique Reagan for having done it? Talk about hypocrisy!
Obama's TelePromptErs provide better speeches than most actors do today...
Too bad, since what comments I have been opening seem to be both respectful and relevant.
That explains his attacking his better.... ;-)
which was considered, well, unseemly. -- j
who were strong u.s.-loving constitutionalists, I think,
with whom he was able to lead this nation. . we need
that kind of leadership now. -- j
I was trying to be polite, but I see I have to be more honest than that. Garner was off base. I saw him in a play when he was still "Maverick"..He was shorter than I imagined him to be.. So much for Mr. Baumgarner..
Your exact statements:
"I will not vote for another Bush. Period. Nor will my wife...."
" I also didn't say I wouldn't vote, just not for Bush."
By your own words, if Jeb is running you will not give him your vote. Therefore, you will have given the Progressive candidate a vote.
That, my friend, is biting off your nose to spite your face.
Illogical...and bordering on childish.
Reagan loved this country and warned people before he became president, about communism. Yes, he made concesssions to the CFR, like keeping the Dept. of Education, but he spoke up for this country. No, he did not end the Cold War, it never did end, communists decided to take over from within instead - and have moved into our school systems. Thank you CFR! I loved Ed Asner on Mary Tyler Moore, and the actors loved him as head of their union, but his ideas were pure socialism and really awful. So, how someone tries to appease a union full of socialists and communists is no way to judge a president who should love this country. Reagan was as good as we have seen for many years.
Rational thought is supposed to reign in here....
Happened to Bush more than once too. And Bush senior. And Ford. And Nixon. And Boehner. Seeing a pattern? :)
