Michael Reagan (re: Specter): "It’s time for the right to come out of the closet.”

[kpete]

“I’m not hurt by Arlen Specter walking away,” said Michael Reagan, the son of former President Ronald Reagan and a conservative talk show host. “At least now the party doesn’t waste money supporting someone who does not support the party.”

“It’s interesting that people say the right has taken over the Republican Party — but no one can say what we’ve done,” Mr. Reagan said. “We’ve been closeted for the last eight years; it’s time for the right to come out of the closet.”

2. Huh?

[Cha]

3. Yeah, if that's what you call hiding the

last 8 years then "the right" will really make an obnoxious scene when they come out of their closets.

"What you've done"? Ya fucked up bush and made him the worst president in history..past, present, and future..ya dumbshit.

4. hey, michael: it's not like it's too crowded in that freakin' closet...

i guess Larry Craig kind of 'broke the trail' for the wingnuts to come out of their 'closets'...

[DJ13]

5. If they come out of the closet wont they lose their religious base?

:shrug:

[msongs]

[BuyingThyme]

7. I think he actually said "cow shit."

[rwheeler31]

8. So what did you do in the closet?

[Sebastian Doyle]

9. "It’s time for the right to come out of the closet.”

Isn't that what Larry Craig, Ted Haggard, Jimmy Jeff Gannon Guckert, Bob Allen, Richard Curtis, and Glenn Murphy did?

[Jackpine Radical]

11. They hid in the closet & bit their tongues while that loony leftist

Michael Reagan is not

the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Talk about riding your father's coattails.

This schmuck really needs to shut up.

Suckass................

[LynneSin]

13. Michael Reagan's knife isn't even IN the drawer.....

it's lying in some junkyard rusting away with other useless junk and even THEN it's still not the sharpest knife.

[KharmaTrain]

18. He's Also Not Raygun's Real Son...

His real one is heard nightly on Air America.

Mikie's the adopted one...the one that didn't quite fit in. He created a "legacy" after his father was out of power and in the grips of Altzheimers. I can still see the image at Raygun's funeral of the Nancy, Ron & Patti holding each other with Mikie standing all alone.

19. As the mother of two adopted kids,

I would caution you against referring to someone adopted as "not .... (anyone's) real son." I am hardly a defender of Michael Reagan, but he is Ronald Reagan's real son.

Your statement is meanspirited and inaccurate and just plain wrong..................

[LynneSin]

12. Think about this - Even Joe Lieberman won't totally abandoned the democratic party

which shows how much the republicans are a bunch of losers!

[tabasco]

15. Sounds like a toe-tappin' good time!

Gonna need more room in the log cabin.

[Arugula Latte]

16. They've been the loud, whining, bullying thugs for years ... It's time for them to STFU ... NOW.

[Demeter]

17. Oh, Let them talk

It's entertaining, and turns off other potential GOP members.

[guitar man]

20. can we

...drown the republican party in a bathtub yet? :shrug:
