She's like Reagan?!! Let me put this in some historical context...
Many folks are quick to compare people with Hitler - whether it be bush Jr., or one of those lunatics in europe who committed genocide, and others too numerous to mention. this is inappropriate: Hitler was a very very special and unusual individual whose particular brand of evil transcended almost anyone's even Pat Buchanan's.

That being said, to compare this "Hockey-mom" with a professional and practiced orator such as Reagan is patently absurd. I for one, did not care for his speaking style, nor for his persona, and certainly not for his policies, but I could intellectually understand how he would be regarded by many as the Savior, as it were.

Being a seasoned professional means that you make the difficult look routine - Reagan was a professional, she's a sociopathic individual with no anxiety. Very dangerous - do not underestimate the potential for disaster.

1. Reagan Was A Two Term Governor Of The Most Populous State In The Union
He was at the vanguard of the conservative movement for nearly two decades when he became president... The resemblance is superficial at best...

7. Completely and totally devoid of ANY historical context ...
it starts with Right Wing Shills, whose job is to throw out as much crape as they can, regardless of how intellectually corrupt it is, but the MAIN STREAM MEDIA picks up on it.

Also, let me add, he was an average AT BEST president who has been remade into a great president - a whole different conversation.

But, this is a man who started in politics in the EARLY 1950s! He traveled a LONG, LONG, LONG road to the presidency THREE DECADES later - he got fired from a job, suffered countless political setbacks, he played a KEY role in refining the messaging that took DECADES to take hold.

Sarah Palin and Reagan.

Just a SAD statement about the media today.

2. She's Nowhere Near Reagan
She's way more Anne Coulter.

She's there to throw bombs, not to become VPOTUS.

4. This is more about concretizing Republican votes than it is anything else.
They need folks who will vote for them

NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO.

3. I wonder what Nancy Reagan thinks of parading a pregnant out of wedlock daughter and her bf on a
national stage for admiration and praise.
