I'll be watching 'Free to Choose' and hope that someone from the GOP will be too.
It never ceases to amaze me how the folks who write this stuff always flatly state that there are no great leaders around. Like we'd know? I mean, sure, the concensus NOW is that Reagan was awesome. It was a significantly less popular viewpoint before he became president, no?

Sam,
I have to disagree with you on that one. Reagan was the reason I enlisted back in '82.
There has been no president since that I would have done that for.
Sure, but before he was president did he inspire you similarly? Was he widely perceived as a great leader before he was elected, or were pundits writing similar articles in that time, complaining about the lack of obvious leaders?
Just a question - I was a bit young at the time to be paying attention...
But it does strike me that these guys are staring into their magic 8-ball and having a bit more faith in their own answer than perhaps is warranted. Seems to me leaders show up when they're needed a lot of times...

The pundits have always passed off their biases as fact (how can I get a job like that?). When Reagan was running I remember that he was the one who would start WWIII, instead he ended the Cold War.
I like that Picture, Rodger. You have just been punched by someone who knows how.

Dutch was fairly good govenor 'cept the part of closing state funnie farms, which added a lot more homeless to the streets.
One can not pick ones self up, until one crashes to the ground. Sorry.
The closing of state funny farms was not of Reagan's doing. The very last piece of legislation President Kennedy signed into law in 1963 was what caused that. It caused the homeless problem by turning them out on the streets, supposedly to receive treatment from local clinics, set up by left wing groups. It was all a scam, designed to employ left wingers and syphon money to Democrat causes and the party. It has worked perfectly for almost 50 years.
