Reagan 1980 Are you better off than you were four years ago?

Next Tuesday is Election Day. Next Tuesday all of you will go to the polls, will stand there in the polling place and make a decision. I think when you make that decision, it might be well if you would ask yourself, are you better off than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago? Is America as respected throughout the world as it was? Do you feel that our security is as safe, that we're as strong as we were four years ago? And if you answer all of those questions yes, why then, I think your choice is very obvious as to whom you will vote for. If you don't agree, if you don't think that this course that we've been on for the last four years is what you would like to see us follow for the next four, then I could suggest another choice that you have.

This question should be asked again in 2012.

We are voting for Reagan!

All the GOP needs to do to win the 2012 election is to run an ad like this, that just asks this simple question. But they won't, of course. That would be INTELLIGENT advertising on their part, and they're not so good at that lately.

Interesting story here from TheHill com. Look at the headline: "Poll: GOP Gains Big with White Voters -- Democrats' advantage over Republicans in partisan affiliation is way down from 2008 as white voters have turned against them, according to a poll released Friday by the Pew Research Center. While minority voters continue to support Democrats in large numbers, what was just a two-point Republican edge among whites in 2008 has grown to a 13-point advantage today.

Haha! Funny enough, presidential candidates have used the same lines through the years! - Are u better off today than you were 4 years ago? Is America as respected throughout the world as it was? That was 1980 and of course America was respected. It just seems that at any given period, the feeling of not being respected flows into Americans. 20 years later, however, they look back in nostalgia at the "respect" they had. Same would happen in 20 years about today.
