Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


They destroyed the party from within. They are the ones to blame. Not the left-wing media , not left-wing academia, not the Democratic Party but the GOP -- the Grand Old Party -- no longer grand, just old and scared silly.

Ronald Reagan had the same media that we have today. He had the same left-wing academia that we have today and the same Democratic Party that we have today. But when the media and the Democrats attacked him he found it invigorating, and found strength and fortitude in being under fire, and he fought back like a tiger.

Today, when Republicans are attacked, they tremble and run for cover. And they give in and begin to mumble "me too."

I've heard people say that Ronald Reagan would have supported the bailout. My answer to that is: "Balderdash!" Ronald Reagan would never have supported a bailout, because under his leadership there never would have been a need for a bailout. He never would have allowed the double-dealing and sheer criminality that brought about our current crisis.

In a Ronald Reagan administration the Chris Dodds and Barney Franks -- who bled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac dry -- wouldn't be running Congressional committees, they'd be fending off Federal prosecutors.

Let's not have any more talk about the end of the Reagan Era and the Reagan Revolution. It's time to re-fire the jets and move forward.

Let's win another one for the Gipper.

Ronald Reagan killed the "Reagan Era"
Ronald Reagan killed the "Reagan Era" with his multi-million Mexican Socialist amnesty.

You can't give citizenship and VOTING RIGHTS to tens fo millions of Mexican Socialists and other criminal invaders & expect anything other than millions more indigent unskilled uneducated dependent Socialist voters.

You can tie the political decline of America directly to Reagan's immigration policy and subsequent amnesty followed by 20 years of the same from both parties, like clockwork you can trace the political shift in every congressional district with the growth the "immigrant community".

Reagan failed miserably to carry out government's primary responsibility, protecting our territory from foreign invasion.

Reagan was a complete failure, his amnesty was the peak of the America's rise as nation state and the beginning of a total economic, cultural and social collapse.

McCain can win with the economy issue!
The Economy is what most people are concerned about. McCain can win on the economy if we promote a grass roots effort that will get the country angry at the real culprits. If Republicans send out emails like I did to everyone on my email address list, then McCain could win! Elected public officials will only accept emails from their constituents.
Therefore I have access to only a few Republican politicians. If enough people who receive this email will email their friends, Republican representatives at every level from local to the president and every conservative talk show host then America will get the message.



This was the message;

------------------------------------------------

I apologize for sending this unsolicited email, but I feel every American would like to know who caused our financial collapse which is causing your 401k and your home value to sink in value. We have been betrayed, not by the obvious greed of the banks, but by our congressmen who caused this to happen.

Let’s not put the fox in charge of the hen house. Please view all six sections of the very clearly produced video at the following link.

The site can also be googled by the phrase, telelprompter saving our economy.

See what clinton thinks!
