That is strange because that part of New York is Palin country.

Which is why I'm so grateful for her continued prominence.

Here's a timely article. Looks like the right wing of the GOP is saying, "Party be damned; we want conformity." The frightening thing about this is that I thought Ronald Reagan was too far to the right to ever get elected.

It's funny you say that.
People look at me like I have two heads when I tell them I used to be a Ronnie rah-rah and am now an Obama supporter. Seems you are supposed to get greedier the older you get, not the reverse. I tend to think the only thing that has change is that I have learned the truth about the poor and the robber barons.

Obama would understand. He took some heat during the campaign by including Reagan in a list of "transformational figures" in American history.

Regan is a transformational figure all right.

I believe he is but I also believe he transformed our country and society for the worse.
