I just watched a political ad on TV

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

I have not heard this before. The ad referred to the Republican running for governor of Florida as "a Ronald Reagan Republican that you can trust".

So that's how they are going to distance themselves from Bush. Their going to call themselves "Ronald Reagan Republicans".

Sounds desperate to me.

1. Time to play the St. Ronnie Card?

Wouldn't inspire me, but then I thought Ronnie was the worst President ever, until our recent resident of the White House.

5. But Ronnie took the Gumint outen our lives and put

E. Coli into our hamburger. The Great De Regulator.
Government safety standards are for wimps.

10. When my husband saw the ad

He said, "Ronald Reagan Republican? What, he has Alzheimer's?"

[eleny]

12. Yeah - They at least forgot all the crap Reagan did

[pepperbear]

2. interesting to note.....they just skip right over Bush SR. n/t

8. It's Crist

Most of his ads are conveying the message that he will carry on with the great leadership skills and the traditions that Jeb Bush has put in place for Florida.

Yecch.

4. One ad says he will continue the great conservative policies of Jeb.

They are all sickening. Against special interest group! That is the new definition of the repub party! Our great school system! Total crap. Florida is just a test tube for the federal policies.

6. That's code for being nuts

but not as nuts as the B*** Crime Family.

[Chipper Chat]

7. So when is Lieberman going to start referring to himself as

"a Zell Miller democrat."
:rofl:

[high density]

9. Yeah that will work well to solidify the 80+ year old vote.

Jeeze.

[ThomWV]

11. Remember ... Bush Is A Reagan Republican Too

And his entire Administration dates from Reagan as well.

[TheFarseer]

13. that's nothing new

Ronnie cut some taxes by shifting the burden to other taxes and borrowing tons of money. Way to go, Ronnie! But I guess some people like that. Also he happened to be in power when Communism fell, so that's a big plus. Apparently he spent so much money it scared the communists into collapsing. Afghanistan and the reforms of Gorbachev, Lech Walesa and the Pope had nothing to do with it. It was because Ronnie spend alot of money, that's what did it alright.

14. How many Florida voters will give a shit?

...Outside of the GOP base that is? How is Reagan relevent to Florida voters in 2006?

[SeaBob]

15. RRR

I wonder if that means they have forgotten Iran- Contra scandal, or the fact that he had Alzheimer's disease while he was in office?

[nosillies]

16. Actually, I've heard Gallagher calling himself the Jeb Bush conservative

I thought Crist was having to use Reagan because he's not as hard-core conservative as Gallagher is.

What a hilarious fight: "I'm more Bush than you are!" "Well, I'm more Reagan!"

[soothsayer]

17. Cool! I'd like astrology back in the WH

[The_Casual_Observer]

18. A demented bad actor republican? I guess that would be an improvement

[Swamp Rat]

19. Woodenheads

:D

[dflprincess]

20. Yet, the way the ad is worded I must assume that there are

"Ronald Reagan Republicans that you can't trust".
