THWAP Bush for the guy who played The Gipper!!


Did you see George W. at RayGun's Reagan's funeral?

Bush (in his best Speedy Gonzales impersonation) couldn't get away from that casket fast enough!

The way he brushed his hands....it was like saying, "OK, I did that public thing."

He stood there just long enough for the photo op.

He had no trouble using RayGun's casket as a prop, but he won't go near one of a service member returning from his illegal war?

Family Says Group Does Not Have Permission To Use Reagan's Image

POSTED: 10:28 am EDT June 16, 2004

WASHINGTON -- Ronald Reagan's family is criticizing the use of the late president's image in a conservative political ad endorsing President George W. Bush.

The ad comparing Bush's war on terror with Reagan's battle against communism is being run by the conservative interest group Club for Growth starting Wednesday. It shows footage of Reagan at the Berlin Wall, and Bush at ground zero. The ad also said Democratic presidential contender John Kerry was "wrong then, wrong now" on national security.

A Reagan family spokeswoman said the group does not have permission to use Reagan's image in the ad because doing so implies his endorsement.

Club for Growth said it wants to show how similar Bush and Reagan have been "in terms of fighting evil." A Kerry spokesman said it's "pretty sad" that Bush supporters are already politicizing the nation's farewell to Reagan.

America transferred it's love for Ronald Reagan to his wife this past week.

That affection can be taken back in a heartbeat. Something the Reagan family ought to keep in mind.

We can honor and revere Ronald Reagan and revert to our earlier opinions of his chilren and his wife.

We wouldn't want them to "use" him like one of his family members did during the funeral in California by making a political speech against President Bush. Ron, shut up, it is not about you! Just because you and Patti made sure that you were in all the photos while Michael was seen far behind doesn't mean that you get to dictate to the rest of the country. You may be your mother's favorite but you aren't to the rest of the country. I'm sure since you and Patti (the stripper) were so kind to your father while he was alive you are really worried about his image now. That is unless it was used by John Kerry or another of the liberal elite candidates that you favor.

How true. You will notice that the two children that Jane/ Wyman had or adopted with Ronald Reagan were mentally sound and both were blessed with great character. Me thinks it might be MaMa Dearest (Nancy).

Link... but wash up after your trip!


That place gives me the willies!

To be fair, a few posters thought Club For Growth should have asked for permission to use Ronnie's graven image.
