Have you read America's history.Traditionally Americans fought and died for freedom even it means fighting oversea.June 6,1944. Americans landed on Normandy in northern France along with our British & Canadian allies started the liberation of Europe.Tell me if you were living in 1944 would you say we must talk to Hitler to stop this world war. Remember freedom isn't free.That's why you along with those anti-war people can say what ever you want.Americans died so we have our freedom.

a monster who almost destroyed our economy. Deficit has a photo of Reagan next to it in the dictonary and he has the hubris to suggest he is a non spender? We are still paying for this phonies policy

WE WILL REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!

It's simple: Don't vote for ANYONE that has the designation for DEMOCRAT/DEMOCRATIC by their name come this November.

Damn straight we will remember this November.

Deja vu all over again. Just replace the numbers with the vast increase in debt today. Look around the world at the collapsed socialist economies. Even JFK knew the way to job growth was to cut government spending and taxes. Educate yourself on this and other important issues at our site.

peanulfoot I guess you rather have Moa,Stalin,or Hitler to help you they all claimed to be out to help the poor .Hitler promised bread in every oven and car in every drive way.we had jobs under Reagan.We was safe under Reagan.We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added.What enviroment did he destory greg?How about Obamas,not closeing the oil leake,shutting skimmers down,turning down other countries help just to pass more freedom takeing regul.

I never stopped seeing this man as an average actor who destroyed the environment.

Handsome goes a long way for people who think hyped nationalism is solid policy

[peanutfoot]

Yes, it's time for another bigot who will ignore the needs of the poor and sick!

[nomoreterrorism]

well maybe a few wrinkles, but I am still on the side of peace and fairness and not on the side of brutal aggression and murder ie America

[weneedheroesnow]

Look again. I mean real closely.

[I4FREEDOM]

It is time for another Reagan. We need another true fiscal conservative that believes in individual freedom as well as individual responsibility. Someone who truly loves this country and wants to see freedom for all. Never sacrifice freedom for security. I would rather die on my feet as live on my knees. Reagan came along at the perfect time (repairing most of the damage Jimmy Carter had created). It is time for another Reagan.
