The first presidential race that I remember growing up is the 1980 race between Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter. I was more interested in other things at the time, but my parents talked about it incessantly. They felt that Carter was possibly the worst president of the 20th Century, and they desperately hoped that Ronald Reagan would win the election and bring true leadership back to America.
But things didn’t look good. According to the nightly news, Reagan was not doing well. Despite low economic growth, high interest rates and inflation, and the Iran hostage crisis, Carter seemed to be winning.
Reagan was widely thought to be too old, too conservative, and not nearly bright enough to win the race. Imagine my parents surprise, then, when he beat Jimmy Carter handily, carrying all but five states and the District of Columbia.

I know, OT, but anybody else notice that James isn't around, but ellen is out in force
on other articles, still posting on 2 week old articles at this precise moment 1:30p.m. MDT 5/18/11?
I just notice some patterns around here and never seen a simultaneous posting from the two.
Just saying.
He might have misplaced that dork cap he was so proud of and is out looking for another one.

Lol good one 1 Old Coyote 2 !
James needs the ball cap because in fact he is a dork!
Be kind to Ellen, liberalism is now listed as a mental problem, she can't help herself. James is probably off his meds, and can't get his fingers and brain to work in conjunction…
Guest James The Cut & Paste Queen of The Western Center for Journalism & his bot Ellen are but one in the same.
You're lying again, Cougar.

Gary in Colo. glad to see that you are finally catching on to James & his bot Ellen.
Nothing has changed with The Main Stream Media since 1980. Now 32 years later & they are still trying to sale us the Cool Ade !
Too bad they can't speak for themselves. Liberals are so mean. You can see the hate just glowing out of them. Why can't they see and speak for themselves. Nobody can be that stupid on their own without finally opening their eyes to the truth. Some have opened their eyes, I realiize, like O'Reilly. He beats around the bush at times but his show is still number one and has been for years. The polls are biased as well. Just check out the web; there you will see the truth. Try it, you just might like not being dumb for a while.
To the Libs that come here to be smart asses I have few questions for you. Why was breeding our population to 300 million by the year 2000 (which did not happen) a deathly bad thing but importing our population to 442 million is a good thing? The nation of Islam teaches to over populate the entire world, why are you silent on this religious goal? Why should we house and feed a religion that seeks to push out all nations and all other religions via population over growth? Does your hate for proud Americans (that still come from every corner of the world) outweigh your love for the planet?
Protect your right to self-preservation. We must stand together as one. Only those with a strong will to maintain numbers and a defensive army will prosper. The more people that engage in distraction first and the best of the bad second the easier it is for the focused.
