a reply, finally.

So you're saying that he repaid kindness with kindness, and therefore expressed liking for Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz?

Clearly, Reagan Democrats need to be brought back to the party. However, that does not mean that I should support a Reagan Democrat for Presidency, especially one who has ties to a number of rather despicable people, including high-level members of the Bush Administration.

Another problem with him is that like Ariel Sharon, he looks at things more from a military basis than a political one; support for ground troops in Kosovo, for instance. It likely would have shattered the coalition, but from a military perspective it was the right thing to do, so he supported it.

His ties to PNAC are also not something to be down-played; however skewed their version of the world is, and however impossible their goals are, they still have the capability to cause massive harm, as the debacle in Iraq shows rather clearly.
