Larry King is a tool. His interviews are not interviews, they are no more
than cocktail talk.
I saw it a few nights ago and he's really bright and articulate. If
anyone in the Republican hierarchy is foolish enough to try and leverage
his dad's legacy in support of the buffoon-in-chief, Ron Reagan will be
there to set the record straight.
Thank goodness.

Yeah, anyone who doesn't toe the line correctly is a tool. But, it
was a good interview.

Does that change what Reagan said? Was King holding a gun to his head?
So Ron is leveraging his dad's legacy to support his own political agenda?
Figures.
Jack
That would be a trashy move indeed.
By anybody.
What is Ron running for? He lives on the next hill over, here in Seattle, and I
haven't seen his name associated with any local races.
He's running for president, but it's being underreported, or even covered up
completely by the liberal press.
> So Ron is leveraging his dad's legacy to support his own political agenda?
You don't have an obligation or right to protect your father's legacy?
Do you think that should fall to GW Bush or Karl Rove?
If you were Daniel Pearl, would you have renounced your Judaism to save
your skin?
I'm guessing so.
Doug, that was a great response, if we are going to have so many OT
political posts, at least they should be funny.
It's actually true. They're keeping him under wraps so nobody has time to
rig the polling machines. They'll pop him out two days ahead of the
elections. The typical Retardican will hear just one thing: Reagan. They'll
vote for him automatically and mindlessly, in the same way they react
(negatively, as trained) to news about stem cell research. Doesn't matter
whose ticket he runs on. At least we'll get rid of the current guy, who'll
leave the same way he arrived: On the "special bus".
No, he isn't leveraging his dad's legacy to support his own political
agenda.He just doesn't like Bush doing it.You said it,a trashy move
indeed. Larry King asked him if he ever considered running for
office and he said no because #1 He can't keep his mouth shut(he says
politically incorrect things i.e. the truth)#2 he's athiest, so that
realistically eliminates him from political office. Basically he said
his father wouldn't have anything to do with today's conservative
Republicans as they have no compassion,despite wearing their religion
on their sleeves.
What are you and the rest on this NG running for? What is M. Moore running
for?
Nothing. But that doesn't stop *any* of you from having, and putting forth,
your own personal political agendas.
Of course Ron has a personal, and political, agenda. He doesn't like Bush,
and he claims his dad wouldn't either, thereby leveraging his position as
Reagan's son to further his own agenda. Unless he's clairvoyant, I don't
see how it's possible he would know for certain how his dad would feel about
current world events. Sadly, it's been quite a while since Reagan was fully
aware of them.
Jack
I suspect Ron Reagan knows more about what his father might have liked
or disliked or supported than you, Jackoff.
We agree.
Should that same standard be applied to
the political action committees running anti-Kerry campaign ads patched
together from old clips of Ronald Reagan?

Guess you didn't know your father very well. I can tell you pretty much
exactly what my father would think on most issues.
jps
Sure, and it has been. I believe you said it was wrong yourself. But now
you imply that it's OK for Ron to do it.
Can't have it both ways...
Jack
Not at all.
Ron Reagan has a right to voice his own opinion, but should not say that it
represents his father's opinion. If Ron gets a little "extra" mileage from his
opinion because of his famous name, that's just the way the ball bounces. He
shouldn't have to change his name because he's a liberal. :-)
My badly made point was that Ron isn't advancing a political "agenda", in that
he isn't running for office. As far as I know, Ron hasn't indicated a prefered
candidate for POTUS.

I still know him, and I know that his viewpoint and opinion has remained
steady on some issues over the years, and has taken some rather drastic
changes (for him) on others. Some have been a surprise to me, others were
not.
He, like most people, tend to change over the years. Some changes are for
the good, some are not. Only recently, at 77, has he slowed down a bit.
Doesn't look or act it to the untrained eye.
I would not presume to speak for him, after he died, on an issue he knew
nothing about while alive. Defend his honor, you bet! But I would not put
words in his mouth, as Ron has done to his father.
You dad's not open-minded? Most men see the world in something other than
black & white. Is Harry your dad?
Jack

What words did Ron Reagan put in his dad's mouth?
bb
Projecting again, eh?
There you go. That's that right wing mentality in it's full glory.
