You had to live through it to recognize the metamorphosis. During those early days of June 2004, as the nation mourned the passing of Ronald Reagan, you would have never known he had been ridiculed and treated with disdain for most of his political career—not only by Democrats but by establishment Republicans. Frankly, I was stunned by the display of love and gratitude in 2004.

After two terms as California governor, Reagan took on Gerald Ford for the presidency in 1976. The entire Republican establishment opposed him. Ford was the sitting president, having achieved that position only by Senate appointment as vice president after Spiro Agnew resigned and then after Nixon was forced out of office by Watergate. He was not exactly the people’s choice. Again, the big guns came out to declare the challenger an extremist. It was an uphill battle, one that Reagan lost that year, only to claim the nomination four years later, this time defeating the establishment candidate George Bush.

Democrats in the 1980 campaign depicted Reagan as an idiot, a grade “B” movie actor who had starred with a chimpanzee, of all things.

The identical tactics used against Reagan are now being used against Sarah Palin. Even though she was McCain’s vice-presidential pick, and you could say that makes her “establishment” in one sense, she never was at home in that role. Neither did Republican insiders consider her to be one of them. The political professionals in the McCain campaign had little more than disdain for her; that became publicly obvious after the election.

In Alaska, she truly had been a disturber of the status quo within the Republican Party. She was guided more by principle than party loyalty. Even today, as her Facebook numbers rise and her influence is felt via endorsements for candidates running for both state offices and Congress, she is shunned by the establishment. The same type of people who considered Reagan a simpleton and a neanderthal have dubbed her “Caribou Barbie.”

Her faults? Well, she didn’t graduate from one of the approved universities. How can you be president if you didn’t graduate from either Harvard or Yale?

Ridicule and Disdain: The Reagan-Palin Connection - Big Government

I RECOGNIZED THIS TWO YEARS AGO, when Palin was first nominated. The same disdain and contempt poured on her and STILL being poured on her is the same disdain they poured on Reagan.

Reagan was a "dunce." Reagan was "just an actor." Reagan couldn't possibly lead. He would get us in a war. Blah blah blah.

But all the elitists were wrong, and he turned out to the THE BEST PRESIDENT HIS COUNTRY HAS EVER SEEN.

Reagan did the things the experts said couldn't be done, like STOPPING COMMUNISM. Experts said only "containment" was possible. Reagan didn't contain. He confronted. And all the MORON LEFTISTS wrung their hands and said he was leading us to war, and all the leftists WERE, ONCE AGAIN, DEAD WRONG!!!!!!!!!

I watched all this start to unfold 34 years ago, when Reagan ran in 1976. I was only 14 and even then I knew Reagan was the man to get this country out of the mess Carter had put us in.

Well the same situation is happening. The president the elites told us would solve everything (Barack Obama, MMM MMM MMM!) is a collosal failure.

Will liberal morons turn out to be wrong again, and Palin be the one to pull us out?

Don't be fooled conservatives, when the experts, the media, the "wizards of schmart" tell us someone is an idiot. They said the same about Reagan.

The American people didn't listen to those fixated on "being in the smart club" and the American people turned out to be right.

Learn a little lesson from history, and stop worrying about what the media says about Palin.

;)
 
Think about the Arnold event in CA. How Republicans wanted to change the constitution so he could become president.
Orrin Hatch even submitted a bill to that effect.

Take the actor from TN as well.
This is a common event for modern day republicans.

....Especially if you're into Genocide.​

"Despite his aw shucks style, Reagan found virtually every anticommunist action justified, no matter how brutal. From his eight years in the White House, there is no historical indication that he was troubled by the bloodbath and even genocide that occurred in Central America during his presidency, while he was shipping hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to the implicated forces."

"President George W. Bush is seeking to prevent the planned release of some 68,000 pages of documents from the Reagan-Bush administration (1981-1989), documents which may well contain embarrassing information about the way in which the government funded, supported, and even created terrorist groups in Central America and elsewhere. He has issued an "executive order" to halt the release of the documents. The release is required by the Presidential Records Act passed by Congress.

As is well known, some 200,000 to 300,000 persons, mostly of American race (American Indian ancestry), were murdered, tortured, and disappeared during the Reagan and George Bush I years. They were killed both by terrorist squads (such as the Contras and by paramilitary death squads) as well as by Guatemalan, Salvadoran, and Honduran regular army troops often led by officers trained at the notorious School of the Americas run by the US Department of Defense.

The terrorism directed against Central American farmers, union organizers, workers, religious, and community leaders was funded by the United States, directly or indirectly."

Republicans did, the American people didn't want to change the Constitution.

Problem is, what happened to Swartzenegger didn't happen to Reagan in CA, nor did it happen to Palin in Alaska.

I don't see the analogy has even being close.

Liberals just can't let go of this stuff.

Notice how they ignore what the Communists were doing in Central America.

That could be kind-of difficult.

ENRON isn't around, anymore.....​

"On May 17, 2001, future Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and former Los Angeles Mayor Republican Richard Riordan met with Enron CEO Ken Lay at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills. The meeting was convened for Enron to present its "Comprehensive Solution for California," which called for an end to Federal and state investigations into Enron's role in the California energy crisis.

In October 7, 2003, Schwarzenegger was elected Governor of California to replace Davis."

"The tapes, from Enron's West Coast trading desk, also confirm what CBS reported years ago: that in secret deals with power producers, traders deliberately drove up prices by ordering power plants shut down."

Palin, in a recent speech, couldn't even be bothered to check her facts about Ronald Reagan, specifically, his college alma mater. Oh the irony...

Nothing new here..... isolate, ridicule and destroy. It's the same old politics of personal destruction.

Except, it ain't working... Look what they did with the Teaparty, first they were hicks, then they were idiots, then they were anti-government radials, then they were racists.... now... They're REPUBLICANS!!!

It's a joke. The radical left is being marginalized, even the left wingers are walking away from the fascist left wing nuts.

Yeah, that explains why we all were calling and stopped the Dubai port deal, the illegal alien amnesty, and Bush's first stimulus (that we stopped the first vote, at least).

Yeah, because we just were all mind numbed robots and did whatever Bush said.

Take your talking points somewhere else.
