The Working Class, Must Kiss Their (Rears).

In case you haven't noticed it, Bush is dead and is not relevant to discussions of current politics. But, thank you for demonstrating that justifying Trump's relationship with Communist Russia is more important than standing up for a former Republican President, who was a WWII Veteran. Instead of implying that he was involved in the murder of a fellow President, most Republicans would cite his accomplishments in the business world, and as a Member of Congress. They might note that his choice to head the CIA was a reaction to the misuse of the agency during Watergate. He took a little less than one year to clean up the mess. It was an "Administrative Re-Boot," for the agency led by a politician. Putin spent 16-years in the KGB. Normal people can see the difference between the two.

I found this quote from one of Reagan's General Electric speeches in 1961, "The communists are supremely confident of victory. They believe that you and I, under the constant pressure of the Cold War, will one by one give up our democratic traditions and principles and customs. Only temporarily, of course, but only temporarily we will turn to totalitarian tactics and methods just for the purpose of opposing the enemy. And then they cynically believe we will one day awake to find that we have, in adopting these tactics, become so much like the enemy that the causes for conflict have disappeared between us. Three and a half months before his last visit to this country, Nikita Khrushchev said, “We can’t expect the American people to jump from capitalism to communism but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of socialism until one day they will awaken to find they have communism.” This sort of describes the conundrum facing real Republicans. Their intolerant, totalitarian leaders have taken them far astray from the land of freedom and liberty for all, which they valued to a police state solution.

IOW you have no rebuttal.

Your infantile attempt to use my name humorously aside, I am afraid that you misunderstand the meaning of the word "shill." I never conceal my support for Democrats or the Democratic Party. I don't hide my identity with a nom de plume, in an attempt to deceive people. And, The Trump-Republican Party is almost totally 180 degrees away from the Republican Party 40-years ago. If you are truly a Reagan-Republican, you don't have to leave the party.. It has left you.

Well, it's the Trump Republicans, including McConnell walking in the direction of and dancing to the tune of the communists, and away from where Reagan pointed. And, as he warned, you've become just like the communists with threats of violence for those who try to access their Constitutional freedoms and all the rest. Trump is the anti-Reagan. I'll stay with the party that still supports the Constitution. You stay with the guy who appears now to be taking bribes for pardons.
