(even though I'm pretty sure he threw barbs at Ford).<br /><br />Regardless, the very fact that he ran against a sitting President in his own party said to me that Ronald found Gerald to be lacking in many ways.<br /><br />It can be argued that Reagan's criticism of a Republican already in office that wasn't a conservative launched your homeboy, Jimmuh, into the big chair. <br /><br />I'm not so sure Reagan was right with his 11th Commandment. Heck, about half the Republicans here in Louisiana are nothing more than Dimocraps sporting an R on the ballot. <br /><br />Call a spade a spade...even if they claim to be on your team. Call 'em a spade out loud, and on purpose. Maybe you'll drum them out of the party, or shame them in to doing the right thing.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.com
