Reagan "was not a scripted persona" ? What's going on at the other end of the state my friend!

Are we really?

I don't think so. The vast silent majority do not subscribe to the extreme theocratic point of view.

The trouble is that the silent majority is silent. The preachers get out the vote. [For example, next Tuesday we are voting in Kansas on an anti-gay constitutional amendment. Most people are not gay and don't give a damn. But the R.R. will be out in force.]

Of course they are all scripted to some extent, but when called upon to speak Reagan was able to say what he felt without resorting to the script; listen to his radio programs from that era which BTW were not scripted.
This guy is like a broken record; he just repeats the catch phrase endlessly and stumbles badly when approached by anything not on the paper.

not who holds what beliefs but who hold sway over policy. At the moment I truly don't see enough distance between US policy initiatives and the Taliban we reviled.

Bill; you're such a reasonable guy. Thats why your HF horns look and sound so good. Speakers also. I read in the Times an article stating there is rapidly becoming a problem with Bears moving into the populated areas up there; is that true? We've got deer running around like big eared rats down here.
