Jeff Jacoby was hired as the token conservative columnist at the Globe in the 1990s. They added one or two others when they suspended him for the 2000 election season.

Only if Nixon's head in a jar is his running mate.

Zombie Reagan and Robot Nixon, I'd so vote for that.

What happened to Americans taking care of themselves?

FTFA: Except that no Democrat uttered those words. The three big-government platitudes above were taken from Republican Mitt Romney's Michigan primary victory speech on Tuesday.

Mittens is just like Shrillary in that both of them are perfectly willing to steal sound bytes from opponents if their focus groups tell them they are getting traction.

They will both Say Anything to get into office.

Neither can be trusted to Do Anything once they get there.

Strewth!

Luffin' the Zombie Raygun and Robo-Nixon pix ^_^

Better than this guy...

I couldn't care less what Reagan would say. He wasn't that great, and he left us in a mess.

I'm sorry he's gone, and sorry he was ill, but not sorry he isn't president.

As far as the candidates being the same- they are. The message doesn't matter, because they don't believe it anyway. They say and do what will continue or extend power and influence- period. The only differences between them are what they think will work.

Aaah, the Boston Globe's "we're obsessed with Mitt Romney" article.

/Not voting for Romney
//Finds the Boston Globe's predictability amusing, and sad.

Real small-government Republicans are rare these days anyway. They all claim to be for smaller government but what they really mean is that they want the super-rich and corporations to not have the same scrutiny or tax burden that less well-off Americans do.

They want a federal sales tax so those living below the poverty line, which by the way would move up considerably, would have to choose between buying bread and milk or paying rent. They want a war on drugs and a war on homosexuality because "small government" is fine unless people are doing things behind closed doors that they wouldn't want their own kids doing. They want to give the FBI and other police forced unprecedented powers to penetrate our lives and our personal communications not for any suspicion, but merely because the technology exists. They want pork barrel politics, even in the age of a Democratic Congress; the biggest porkers in Congress today are still Republicans.

I'm not a small-government type. I'm an Obama supporter. But at least I'm honest about what I want in my government.

It's about time that people learned that, while Democrats may very well be tax-and-spend, Republicans are as borrow-and-spend as a teenage girl with her first credit card. Their hero, Ronald Reagan, taught them that deficit spending didn't have consequence. Now look where we are.

What about those of us that Barry Goldwater is our Hero?

Welcome to the margins. You can say what you like, but nobody listens.

That Reagan is deified by republicans tells you how debased political science is in America. How little time Americans actually spend getting to know anything about their country.

Real small-government Republicans are rare these days anyway.

They were rare in the Reagon days too. The guy did increase the government in size by the greatest amount in US history. This small-government talk is constant bs that gets sprouted every four years.

All small government means anymore is lower taxes.

"If an individual wants to discriminate against Negroes the Living or others in selling or renting his house, he has a right to do so."

I find it hard to believe that any sitting president would willfully hand over power to the states. Just to run for president means you're a power-hungry egomaniac.

A braaiiinnsss worthy pic?

If not...

/Is Ronald Reagan gonna have to slap a biatch?

If it wasn't for Reagan, you would all be speaking Russian and working double overtime in grim factories, not free to whine on the internet. He was truly the greatest President ever, if not one of the greatest leaders in human history.

i'm a small government conservative who is hoping to get the chance to elect obama.

why? he doesn't espouse many of my views, but NONE of them do. so my mantra has become "if i know they're gonna steal all my money, i might as well put the people in power that will spend it to benefit americans."

you're absolutely right.

not many people remember the time that reagan was air dropped into moscow armed to the teeth and went rambo on the kremlin. he fought his way into gorbachev's private chambers and put him in a submission hold until he tapped right out of the cold war.

/someone should photoshop this...

America would have been celebrating that day for the past 20 years were it not for the refusal of the liberal media to report on the event in the first place.

"If I'm president of this country, I will roll up my sleeves in the first 100 days I'm in office, and I will personally bring together industry, labor, congressional, and state leaders, and together we will develop a plan to rebuild America's automotive leadership," Romney now says. "Washington should not be a benefactor, but it can and must be a partner."

It must? That sure wasn't the Gipper's view.

...really? There must be some other explanation of how the national debt doubled under Reagan...
