McCain ad: "As a POW, I was inspired by Ronald Reagan..."
What a weird ad. Starts out with that statement and meanders through all kinds of weed until he swears that he's the "true conservative" in the R race. Given that he's the one the establishment appears to be embracing, that ad really summarizes the disarray the Republican Party find themselves in.

Did the Hanoi Hilton get CNN?
Why did he give a crap about Reagan in 1967 anyway? What a load, just what the rethugs like.

5. No link. I've seen it a couple of times on MSNBC and Washington Journal this morning.

2. There will be no disarray if Obama the candidate
It will be real simple tribal politics, white vs black, the thing the RepubliKKKans do "best".

4. Get used to him
If Obama keeps running his campaign on a divisive message of right wing talking points, McCain will be our next president.

If you're a Republican and you say the magic words Ronald Reagan over and over again, you win. It's that easy.

9. So during Vietnam we look to STATE GOVERNORS for LEADERSHIP.
Edited on Mon Feb-04-08 12:43 PM by happyslug
Just think about it, our troops were NOT inspired by Johnson or Nixon, but kept fighting for Nelson Rockefeller (NY-1959-1973) and Attica, Milton Shapp (PA 1970-1978), Jim Rhodes (OH-62-72 and 74-82) and Kent State, Lester Maddox (GA-1967-1971) and of course George Wallace (AL-62-66,70-78 82-86, with his wife elected Governor for the 66-70 term). Clear leadership on Foreign Policy and how to handle difficult situations.

10. Hugging Ronald Reagan's photo got him through it.
"Oh Ronnie, one day we will meet again...I just know it!"
