Does that mean that because I'm adopted and voting for Obama and my father is a big wig republican supporter I am not his REAL daughter? Are these cheap shots because you don't like the guy or do you really think that adopted children are not REAL members of their adoptive families? If the latter, then your a pathetic waste of oxygen.
well, I think its pretty well know by those in the KNOW that Mike is the outcast. I really feel like Nancy is trending democrate more and more. I keep expecting her to show up and speak at a democratic rally.

No one is suggesting anything of the sort. Whether or not Michael Reagan is part of the family is based on his radical position of supporting Republicans that even President Reagan would have despised [ie Bush].

Then why the need to keep using the terms "real" and "adopted"? Isn't it enough to say he's not thought of favorably by his family for his views regardless of his birth status?

Maybe people are unaware, I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but when you need to clarify someone by their birth status i.e. real, adopted, birth, etc. then you are already singling that person out and setting them apart from. I find that just as offensive as if someone were singling me out for my gender or my race.

I was referring to philosophic differences not birth but understand & appreciate your point.

You are absolutely correct, slim chance of that happening in this current screwed up mess we call a society. He was a great man, honest, straight forward, and God fearing. It is shameful how we have deteriorated in such a short time, if we keep going imagine how disgraceful we will be in 20 years.

Republicans are desperate if they are comparing Governor Palin to Ronald Reagan [his family would strongly disagree along with most Republicans - almost sacrilege
