why do so many repukes actually put framed pictures of ronnie raygun up in their homes?

i personally know a few and have heard of others. i have been thinking of dedicating a wall to all of our presidential heroes in my house.

i might even throw a republican or 2 in for good measure (abe and tr).

Our daughter, who must have been around 12 at the time, threw DARTS at it. True story. He was furious. I thought it was very funny. Want to guess what Party she belongs to now as an adult?

People who claim that Reagan wouldn't be welcome in today's Republican Party are fooling themselves-- he was every bit as nasty as today's Republicans. He just knew how to cover up his nastiness with his acting skills.

In the couple's son's baby book there are pics of Reagan inserted. He was born in those years.

And to be honest, when I was a kid, my grandparents had a framed pic of JFK in their house. But they were probably thrilled to see at Catholic in the WH!

in the classroom (this was when he was Gov here in CA). It show him dressed up in western gear from one of his movies pointing a gun and it said "Thanks for the votes suckers!" I don't know how she got away with it. Though she was a teacher for government and this was in the early seventies plus she was considered a really COOL teacher. I think now days a teacher would probably have a lynch mob after her for something like that.

and when their neighbors hear a loud shout of "shining city on a hill" coming from inside their house, they know they've gone over the top.
