MinnPost.comWell, in the interest of trying to stay well informed, I have committed myself to watching most of the presidential debates. A curiosity in the Republican debates is the constant invocation of a person all the candidates laud profusely: Ronald Reagan (57 times, by actual count in one debate).
Unfortunately, for the party, he is not running! He is ubiquitous in the debate, but I've never seen him on the stage.
That does not stop what appears to be a glorious memory of the grand old man -- though slightly faded, and often significantly distorted. As an interesting side note, the name of George W. Bush is rarely, if ever, mentioned in these debates by a single candidate. That should give us some pause.
Old White guys recalling the Grand Old Image of the Grand Old Savior, St. Ronnie. In case anyone is really paying attention, Grand Old Savior St. Ronnie is not all that well know by the young voters of today. Seriously, they are a bunch of last straw graspers, completely out of touch with today's evolving electorate. St. Ronnie is not known, and George W. Bush is despised.
The Old White Guys party; out of touch, and soon to be out of power completely.
