28. The Magic of Ronald Reagan
was totally lost on me.

He was a no talent speaker with an obvious "aw shucks and jive" contrived act that simply revolted me. Then as now, it was the simpleton nostroms and complete lack of a coherent argument that totally left me cold. Ketchup as a vegetable? A Star Wars missile defense system?

It was too readily apparent to me that he wanted to sell looney right policies all the while giving a simple smile that most people misunderstood as someone they'd like to have a beer with.

Fuck that.

I wanted a person who has intelligence, grace, and is willing to debate and argue for what he believes is right. Jimmy Carter should have won that election.
