I've been staying out of this

At least in my own journal. But some things need comment

This was on the Sacramento county GOP website.



There is an article here

The important quote is from chairman of the Sacramento County Republican party, Craig MacGlashan. “Some people find it offensive, others do not. I cannot comment on how people interpret things.”

sadly, many presidents, including Reagan, promised to make gov't smaller, only to see it balloon once they got in office.
it's so big now i don't know if it can be reeled in by anybody.

both guys voted for the bailout, which, if you want to talk about transfer of wealth! oy! and to the very people who already robbed us blind.

obama wants to get bin laden (it's about time). mccain wants to go to war with iran. i don't want any more war. but i want a guy who has an even temper, and open mind, and will try diplomacy first. and by the track record, that's obama.

i'm ready for a smart, thoughtful president. i don't care what color.

Reagan is a special case. As I've written about before, Reagan didn't merely promise to make government smaller and balance the Federal budget, it was his entire campaign for 16 years. He excoriated Democrats and Republicans alike for deficit spending. And yet the first thing he did once in office was the biggest flip-flop in American political history. I trace much of the conservative's disconnect with reality to 1981, when cognitive dissonance forced the far right to deny what was obvious to everyone else, and the concomitant savaging of anyone who dared to point out the reality of the situation.

But I digress.
