Ron Reagan Jr. to Speak at Democratic Convention
Yes, it is well-known that he is a liberal, and yes, he will speak about stem-cell research, and will not be nominating Kerry for the presidency.
Still, it is quite a substantial coup for the Democrats. The GOP will dare not try to besmirch Reagan, and yet the Democrats will in a very real way become the bearers of the Reagan family legacy, if not the Reagan political legacy. And that will be worth quite a bit, I think. Perhaps even extra TV coverage of the convention, and broader recognition of the true values of the liberal side.
after listening to Ron Reagans interview with Terry Gross
on NPR’s fresh air I came away stunned. That man is smart
with a capital S- and I am afraid that the GOP will run scared and try and smear him in any way that they can. He was a ballet dancer after all and I’m sure they will find a way to use that to prove that he isn’t really a man – never mind that Bush was a cheerleader.
How can we support the messages that he has? Does he have an email address?
