This has been a funny week the political history of this country.
We saw the merger of an “American Idol” like candidate being sold to evangelical Republicans and Independents as the second coming of Ronald Reagan — only she’s a female Gipper who says she identifies and represents the ubiquitous Joe and Jill six-pack.


One thing I can say about Palin, is that her four years studying communications paid off because she, like Reagan, the professional actor, knows how to memorize lines. But that’s where the similarities end.


Link to rest.

Reagan wasn't even a conservative. At least not as President.

At least she chose a good President to mimic. So did Obama, as he strives to be another J Kennedy. Good luck to both.

Does that mean McCain/Palin will have another disastrous Amnesty policy, just like Reagan?

But there aren't anymore walls to declare should be torn down

And we don't have any horrible diseases of the immune system to completely ignore while thousands die because they deserved it.

A faux Ronald Regan is better than a real Barack Obama. Obama doesn't even know what he wants. He has changed his mind on everything.

It's the guy Palin is running with that I don't care for, but is a little less dangerous than Obama.

God help us all, we are screwed if either Obama or McCain get in.
