Ron Reagan just laid it out on MSNBC
Edited on Thu Oct-13-05 11:14 AM by Armstead
Citing the polls, which he said are unprecidented for being so low, Ron Jr. said people have seen the results of this administration and they just don't like it anymore.

Slightly paraphrased) "You can't continue to fool people forever. They have seen the incompetence and corruption, and they are rejecting it."

"That's and OUTRAGEOUS thing to say, Ron. And in a time of WAR!"

:P

9. No, she was actually forced to admit the truth
She spoke before him, and said it'll be a real problem if Bush loses the support of his base.

I think the rats on the ship are putting on their life preservers, just in case.

43. His "base" is all he has left.
His base may have all the money, but you can't poll money.

I think Bush has lost the true-blue middle class conservatives. I believe that the only people still supporting him are either wealthy or ignorant.

Once the ignorant/asleep/uninformed figure out that everyone on the team is bailing out, they'll leave the game too.

She went beyond drinking the kool-aid... I think she was embalmed with it.

17. She doesn't believe her words. She's a propagandist working to maintain
power for her side.

She knows damn well that demagoguery generally works for the dupe-able rightards.

4. He also said that the people no longer buy the visuals, and
that the speeches written by others no longer work, the way they would have for others and in *'s own past.
That au contraire "the MORE THEY SEE OF HIM THE MORE THEY DISLIKE HIM"
that was the part that really got me to rejoicing....

11. EXACTLY--and I'm soooo glad he pointed that out
When I heard that dickwad was going to have his face on again "telecommicating" with the troops (yep, we buy that as natural and not a set up), that whomever is in charge over at the big White brothel isn't seeing the trees for the forest. Now, when his ugly face and faltering mouth are on the teeeveee, it makes people spit, deride him, laugh at him, and hate him more. PUT HIM IN THE GODDAMN BASEMENT, LOCK THE DOOR AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!!!

34. I was hoping that would happen..
the mere sight of chimpy and his damned fake accent(Jon Stewart does it best!) would turn off the masses like it has the sane people around here.

41. It does seem that way
From the AOL poll and the reaction to the scripted event. Everything is falling down. Hopefully Fitzgerald finishishes his case soon. :bounce:

28. yes -- and that, as far as he is concerned, it's the right
attitude to have; that's how it should be. Quite stunning; it was just as the show began in the morning (West Coast time).

13. And now they've got Andrea Mitchell, waxing rhapsodic about...
... how great Reagan was. She quickly moved into Clinton's "bimbo eruptions."

It never stops with these people. :grr:

16. Why bring Reagan or Clinton into it at all?
The discussion is whether or not * is competent to be president. That's a question that demands an answer on its own, irrespective of Reagan, Clinton...or even Lincoln, for that matter.

20. Because Andrea Mitchell has to remind Americans that everything...
... IS THE FAULT OF THE MIGHTY CLENIS.

That's why. :-)

19. Ron laying it out AGAIN after Scotty's press conference!
He was giving Monica hell.

Referring to the choreographed Bush satellite feed with Iraq troops today, Reagan said "Just another example of why the public has lost confidence in this President. He can't do anything on the fly. Everything is hand-picked, choreographed, practiced and rehearsed. Just like his phony town hall meetings."

Monica is livid! "The President was doing a lovely thing, talking to the troops!"

This is good TV. :popcorn:

21. THAT was GREAT. Ron was having none of Monica's BS today.
He even said with that easy way of his, "You can try and talk-over me all you want Monica but this was just another example of this prez and his phony town hall meetings."

Go Ron!!!!!

37. Ron Reagan is the best.
I remember one time, about a year ago, when he said W couldn't carry his father's jock strap, or words to that effect. He just says it like it is.
