    Kevisaurus is a Carnotaurus today

    He could orate anything given to him as good as any B list actor could have. He was just a puppet of the republican party and was the ideal mouthpiece for them because he had populist appeal. I wouldn't expect him to be smarter than a fifth grader when he was in his prime.

    No I don't. Reagan was brilliant. He was a crusader and that is what people did not like about him. He was out to stop evil in the world.

    Hitchens is an atheist and RWR was not. I could see why he would say something like this. Politically, Hitchens has been all over the map. I don't get him.

    I disagree wholeheartedly.

    such a comparison is insulting to wood stumps everywhere.

    I remember all too well Mr. Reagans standard response to the Iran/Contra hearings: "I can't recall".

    When exactly he got Alzheimers is open to debate- before or after election.
