I remember the rumors, when I was in high school, that he was the antichrist (LOL), but what touched me was a story I saw on t.v. in recent years about how his proposal to Nancy went. Apparently, he said to her, "Let's get married!" She replied, simply, "Let's!" I thought it a great story (short and sweet). When you see footage of his speeches and they turn the camera to Nancy, you can see the admiration, awe, and love all over her.

Don't you remember Ronald Reagan's stance on abortion? sm
It was "I'm PRO-CHOICE. If the unborn baby has a choice, I am PRO-CHOICE."

Reagan
He was one of a kind, and we have not had a true Republican in office since him. He cut taxes yet brought in more government revenue. Imagine that. People had more of their own money to spend and they did. He didn't make up "tax credits" which is just another government way to take more of your money - Sure you can get some of it back but you have to do what the gov't says in order to get any of it back. It's a matter of control, coming from a gov't who cannot even control their own spending.

I know a lot here don't like W and in the end, my jury is still out on him but I did go to see his campaign in 2004 when he came to the AF base in Youngstown, Ohio and I do have to tell you - I was right up front and Laura Bush looks at him like they're newlyweds, and the TV cameras do not do her justice. She is just beautiful. Everyone should have a marriage like Ron and Nancy Reagan and George and Laura Bush.

some of us remember Reagan's ideas on AIDS too

Yep, hated Reagan, arms for contras....Oliver North scandal!! Nancy was the president anyway!!! I liked her far better than Ronald!

I remember when Nancy Reagan had a double mastectomy
and if I remember correctly, she was only diagnosed with it in 1 side. Not that you have cancer but I remember thinking and talking about her at that time I thought have a bilateral mastectomy was the way I would do in case of this ever happening, plus as aggressive chemo and whatever. Up to now, no further problem with her and I thought she made the right decision, just to be rid of the concern about the other breast eventually having to go back again. By the way, had hysterectomy, not for tumor but unending bleeding and probably best thing I ever did, vaginal route, really no down time, no pain (unlike before). Good luck with your decision.

I agree! Reagan/Schmaegan. One of our worst presidents.
