    Holy crap, for some reason I thought she had already passed away. I like her but don't see how she could help anything.

    Why not bring Ronnie with Nancy? The Republican Party has a "death grip" on "Reaganomics" and the "conservative agenda" even though both are as dead and rotting as their creator. So, put them all on the platform together, play a tape of a few famous lines, sing the Stars Spangled Banner and light some sparklers, what more could America ask for? Then, all could chant in unison "Government is the problem, Government is the problem, Government is the problem" while an image of a smiling Osama Ben Laden is displayed on the large screens repeating the words with the crowd. OSB could climax the show with a broadcast recording of his voice saying "Your government is the problem, Death to America". That should bring tears to the eyes of all the Farside, shouldn't it? Good idea, True-Male, good idea.

    I dunno why, but I like this post. It's irreverent as hell, but I like it nevertheless. :-)

    . . .I've got it now! Whatever conservatives do, it's prolly best they reinvent themselves and release the Vulcan death grip they have on the coattails of 'heroes' passed.

    FWIW, though, Reagan was right about one thing: government (and addiction to government) IS the problem. Too bad Reagan himself didn't listen to his own rants. He's the founding father of the police state we have today.

    Reagan was always impressed with "experts" advice on things, willing to admit that he was an actor, a spokesman for the ideas of others. When he became Governor of California, Sacramento was filled with consultants from every major professional firm in the state. I spent nearly a year there and some of my colleagues stayed for more than two years. The consultants reviewed nearly every operation of the State Government and made recommendations, about two thirds which were ignored or were politically impossible to implement.

    After election to the office of POTUS Reagan sent some Cabinet Secretaries to California to forewarn of the plans known as "Reaganomics" and "conservative agenda". The driving motive was conviction that "experts" from Wall Street's brokerages and the (soon to be) "deregulated" banks could best manage the wealth of the nation to "finance the economies of the world's emerging nations" and "trickle down" the great profits so as to make all Americans proud and rich, a virtually guaranteed early retirement for everyone. Particularly, they warned, the top management of Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Union Bank, and Security Pacific, should accept the "buy out offers" and find new jobs with the stock brokerages, for "things were going to move" to New York and the...

    The plans were very successful, having been crafted in Los Angeles by "consultants" years before Reagan was selected as the "spokesman" for the agenda. In less than thirty years they moved more than $27Trillion of wealth from America's middle class citizens into the hands and coffers of Wall Street's Reagan Banks and brokers, where it was used to move American industry and jobs to China and other "emerging nations". Very bright, very successful, very enriched, those who paid the "consultants" and hired the actor.

    Dude! Excellent post! I only wish I had the time to give it the 'treatment' it deserves. :-)

    Lemme just summarize by saying my feelings about Reagan were mixed. On the one hand, whatever he did by way of the economy worked! The eighties saw one of the biggest economic booms in the nation's history. I loathed him, though, on account of his having demolished Carter's halfway houses for the mentally ill--with the net effect of dumping half a million people on the streets. (I've pretty much loathed conservative-flavored statists ever since!) I also wasn't too keen about the way he handled the PATCO strike--whose members weren't griping about pay as much as they were about the unsafe/outmoded technology of the day.

    One thing about Ronnie-bob, though. He elicited POWERFUL emotions. There was no fence sitting with that one! And don't EVEN get me started about the Mujaheddin a la Charlie Wilson's war!

    Can see no harm in it; if she is in frail health, then a videotape message would be just as effective.

    Maybe a video speech from her home to be played at the convention will be best , she's kind of frail these days ,
