The religious right is motivated by the suspicion that someone, somewhere,
is having fun -- and that this must be stopped.
If the GOP could get away with digging up embalmed Ronald Reagan and running him for President again, they would. Embalmed Ronald Reagan would probably appear more life-like than Mitt Romney anyhow (dude is almost as robotic as his wife, the killbot from Andromeda Galaxy).

Actually, no the GOP would not really want to resurrect Reagan even if they could. Even though Republicans are constantly referring to him as if he were the Great Messiah, if Reagan were running as a Republican candidate in a current day election he would simply be far too "liberal" for today's rightards. The Republicans continue to shift more and more rightward with each passing year to the point that any voices of reason or moderates have been banished from the party long ago leaving the lunatics that you see today.
ReplyDeleteBut you're talking about *living* Ronald Reagan, while I'm talking about *embalmed* Ronald Reagan. The only thing *embalmed* Ronald Reagan says is whatever the ventriloquist operating his embalmed body says, and said ventriloquist would likely be called Grover Norquist.
