How Reagan got elected, a loop hole in campaign finance

[CrusaderFrank]

But in 1980 Reagan only won with 50.8% of the vote when the turnout was a mere 52.7%


Electoral vote 489
States carried 44

But in 2008 Obama won with 52.9% ... of the vote when .......... the turnout was 61.6%


Electoral vote 365
States carried 28 + DC + NE-02 22

Popular vote Obama 69,498,516 - McCain 59,948,323
Percentage 52.9%

Reagan is a God compared to Obama

A Reagan disciple and brash political operative, Dolan was the founder of the National Conservative Political Action Committee, known as NCPAC (pronounced "nick pack"). Freed by the Buckley decision, which shot down fundraising and spending limits on independent groups, Dolan forged NCPAC into a formidable political machine

Dolan made no bones about his brass-knuckles style. "A group like ours," he once said, "could lie through its teeth, and the candidate it helps stays clean." Democrats branded Dolan a lying "extremist," while patrician Republicans sneered at his smashmouth tactics. Yet when they weren't bashing Dolan, his enemies scrambled to catch up. Strategist Peter Fenn urged fellow Democrats to "get down in the gutter with NCPAC" if they wanted to win.

NCPAC, which faded away in the years after Dolan's death, illustrated a larger trend in post-Buckley politics: the rise of the political action committee. At the end of 1974, there were 600 registered PACs; nine years later, there were 3,500. PACs spent $23 million on congressional races in 1976; by 1982, it was $80 million.

PACs came in all varieties: independent committees like NCPAC, trade association PACs, party PACs, and more. There were PACs representing whole industries, like the mighty Business Industry Political Action Committee (BIPAC), formed by the National Association of Manufacturers, which grew so large and cash-flush that in the 1980s it rivaled the parties as the true power broker in Washington.

For those who do not know who John Dolan was, he was a conservative Christian critical of gay rights, who he himself was gay and was said to of died of aids. Reagan had the Christian right behind him, evangelicals, aka so right, not much different that the radical Muslims. (not all evangelicals are that way)

John Terrence "Terry" Dolan (1950 – December 28, 1986) was an AmericanNew Right political activist who was a co-founder and chairman of the National Conservative Political Action Committee (NCPAC).[1] Dolan was also, during the mid to late 1970s, in the leadership of Christian Voice, "the nation’s oldest conservative Christian lobby." [2]

While Dolan was a proponent of family values and the organizations he led were persistently critical of gay rights, he was revealed to have been a closetedhomosexual[3][4][5][6] who frequented gay bars in Washington, D.C.[7] He died from complications of AIDS at the age of 36.[8]

Terrible piece and leaving out far too many relevant facts. Terry was a co-founder of NCPAC. Do you even know who Terry's brother is/was?

Reagans speech writer. It didn't hurt Reagan was an actor and well I guess women in those days thought he was good looking.

Reagan was good looking. He was straight out of central casting

I know my mom liked him and that other Hollywood star, Rock Hudson, who turned out to be gay. He would of won all the female votes. and maybe some men as well.

Reagan got elected because he receive a majority of electoral votes against two dumbass Democrats.

I just posted how he got elected, by Christians using a loophole and using vicious attacks on the Dems.

Isn't it hilarious when Democrats lose they simply can't admit defeat but come up with all sorts of excuses. However, if they win something, it's all about how they did the job.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and seven other former and current government officials are at risk of arrest if they set foot in Spain, after a Spanish judge effectively issued an arrest warrant for the group, it has been reported.

According to the Latin American Herald Tribune, Spanish national court judge Jose de la Mata ordered the police and civil guard to notify him if Mr Netanyahu and the six other individuals enter the country, as their actions could see a case against them regarding the Freedom Flotilla attack of 2010 reopened.
