The Great Reagan
by Gary Varvell of Townhall.com
On that topic, Charles Krauthammer wrote a column critical of Reagan on October 26, “Taking Reagan Out of the Race,” to which Mark Levin, who worked for Reagan, immediately responded, “Getting Reagan Right: Charles Krauthammer misses the crucial distinctions.”
What I appreciated in Krauthammer’s column was his point that none of the GOP presidential candidates are perfect, but….
… in 2007 we have, by any reasonable historical standard, a fine Republican field: One of the great big-city mayors of the last century; a former governor of extraordinary executive talent; a war hero, highly principled and deeply schooled in national security; and a former senator with impeccable conservative credentials….
Republicans have 4 1/2 good presidential candidates. All five would make fine Cabinet members: Romney at Treasury, Thompson at Justice, McCain at Defense, Giuliani at Homeland Security, Huckabee at Interior. All the team needs now is to pick a captain who can beat Hillary.
(Krauthammer as a pro-abort obviously has no problem with Giuliani, who I do agree would make a fine head of Homeland Security.)

Political anti-life bias |
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.

If we can’t have a pro-choice dogcatcher, how can we have a pro-choice Homeland Security chief?
It would be an unelected position for which he has proven he is well-qualified.
But Jill, “You never know the aspirations of politicos who use low level positions as stepping stones, which is a dynamic in the Aurora PP situation. And you never know when abortion will interject itself in the strangest places, and other low level politicians will simply want to tow the line to protect their menial jobs, which is also a dynamic in the Aurora PP situation.”
Couldn’t Rudy use Homeland Security as a stepping stone to Presidency or Supreme Court or Attorney General?
Then what?
I am so cynical about all the candidates.
The heck with it – I’m voting a straight Bull Moose ticket this time around.
Me too, Doug!
Leah, you know what – even though Linus may have been “conservative,” to some extent, he was a good-hearted little dude, and I think I’d vote for him.
I grew up with those ‘Peanuts’ characters, and it was one sad day when Charles Schultz said he was going to end the strip, and later when he died.
It’s undeniably sentimental on my part, but I hoped that Charlie Brown would one day get to kick the football through the uprights, without Lucy snatching it away at the last second.
Doug
Quite frankly, Doug, a Peanut’s a Peanut. I don’t care about their ideology, if one could run for president, they would have my vote!
I agree! Poor Charlie Brown. I wish that just once he would have gotten that football.
Quite frankly, Doug, a Peanut’s a Peanut. I don’t care about their ideology, if one could run for president, they would have my vote!
Leah, I would not only vote for them, I’ve eaten them – heck, I’ve eaten them raw.
Man, I always thought that Peanuts was the most worthless cartoon in the whole paper. The only one I can’t stand more is Cathy.
Oh, Erin. Peanuts are amazing!
But Cathy sucks, that’s true. I can’t STAND Blondie. My very favorite is Pearls Before Swine.
My favorite cartoon-artist is Gahan Wilson.
I hate those serious cartoons. They always make me feel like I am passing by two people who are having a conversation and I have no idea what they’re talking about.
Plus, they’re not even funny…..WTF?????
I haven’t seen a funny comic page in years.
However, Peanuts is cute. And, I have laughed at a lot of political cartoons, but they aren’t on the comic page.
I like the music to the Peanuts cartoon.
Bizarro is the best comic evar.
RAE!!!! *TACKLEHUG*
