    I know the video is long but it is great. Watch, you won't regret it.

    We need another Reagan now more than ever.

    Apparently most don't think they want to watch a 50 year old video that is 30 minutes long.:D

    The amazing part is he could make the speech today and it would still be relevant. Only things that would change are the dollar amounts.


    He was also able to speak from the heart for 30 minutes with nothing more than a few notes .

    We need someone that can move and motivate people to make a difference like he was able to do. Instead we have whiners that do nothing but complain about big brother not doing enough for them.

    I see SOME of those qualities in Ryan. Romney needs to let him be as vocal as possible.

    Paul Ryan huh?

    So far this guy appears to be one of the biggest lairs I have even seen in a politician.

    Even Fox News admits to this...commenting on the Republican Convention ..."Ryan’s speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech"

    The other thing I don't understand is this fictional reputation for being a fiscal conservative or “budget hawk” when his voting record shows that he has been nothing of the sort?

    The fox news article is from an UNPAID contributer to fox news. Do some research on her and you will find she is a big liberal.


    Watch him speak on you tube and you will see why he has SOME of the abilities reagan had to speak to the american people and not at them and telling them what they need.;)

    I did say some.


    Personally ,I am thinking that even though romney is not my first choice,maybe it is time we give a successful businessman a chance at fixing our broken financial system in this country.

    I never said he was a fiscal conservative but he was much closer than anything we have seen since.

    He was able to inspire and it got people on their feet and made a difference.

    He win the cold war without ever firing a shot. That is a leader.

    One other point about Reagan. The country was in a horrible economic situation from the Carter years. Much worse than today imo. Inflation was killing this country and our national security was at a great risk. He had to rebuild the armed forces and did it without bankrupting the country.
