Re: Problem with Idealistic Based Fans (none / 0)

Well, what I intended to say was a charismatic speaker that actually led, I suppose Kennedy ain't that. I was actually going to say I wanted a Democratic Reagan, but felt it would be taken the wrong way.

Re: Problem with Idealistic Based Fans (2.00 / 1)

yes, that would have been taken the wrong way and rightly so.

What did Reagan do except tear down the moderate Republican party?

and install a bunch of freaks instead?

Presumably the "Democratic Reagan" I mentioned would not be advancing conservative ideals. It is merely unfortunate that the Republican agenda is almost entirely destructive. But Reagan remade the Republican brand into something that lasted for a full generation. You do not want that?

the republican brand was re-branded by Reagan.  Ask republicans (moderates) if they liked what happened to their party.

I don't want the democratic party to be re-branded.  And the democratic party has been around a lot longer than the republican party and for more than one generation at that.

How about another FDR? (none / 0)

Neither a Kennedy nor a Reagan, a pragmatic charismatic  liberal.
Vilified by the left for not being liberal enough, vilified by the right for being a socialist with confiscatory tax policies.

Probably more accurate and can't believe it didn't come to mind. Hell, with the economy the way it is, it might be all too much like FDR.
