Republicans: Do not ask for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. (http://morningsentinel.mainetoday.com/view/letters/4833617.html)


Paul's problem is the same one that plagued former Democrat Ronald Reagan: He really hasn't changed but his party has. Reagan, a conservative New Dealer, saw his party converted into a democratic socialist regime. Paul has seen the GOP degenerate into another big government warfare/welfare party whose leading nominee's presidential campaign theme is "Invade the World, Invite the World."

I think the "democrat" Ronald Reagan is a misprint.

No, Reagan was a Democrat and switched in 1962.

Here we are trying to end the two party system when what we really need is to get it back.

you have to be older to remember WHEN reagan was a new deal democrat, and this is
before the h.u.a.c hearings and his testimony as the head of the actor's guild. most likely
if you have a good, clear, cogent memory of young ronnie reagan, you are also cashing
a social security check monthly and punctually. to people who were just children during
reagan's time as our POTUS, the idea of him as an up and coming sports announcer who
was a hearty new dealer is quite a shocker! indeedy...how time passes, how time flies!

Well, that always was the trouble with the G.O.P. Conservatives are all too often inclined to be smitten with political opportunists.

As Winston Churchill said,

"Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried."

Since Republicans are part of the government we must recognize what we are up against.

Things will never get that easy.

Government is an evil; it is only the thoughtlessness and vices of men that make it a necessary evil. When all men are good and wise, government will of itself decay.
- Percy Bysshe Shelley
