Ronald Regan during the 2nd Presidential debate of 1980:
Next Tuesday is Election Day. Next Tuesday all of you will go to the polls, will stand there in the polling place and make a decision.
I think when you make that decision, it might be well if you would ask yourself, are you better off than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago? Is America as respected throughout the world as it was? Do you feel that our security is as safe, that we're as strong as we were four years ago? And if you answer all of those questions yes, why then, I think your choice is very obvious as to whom you will vote for. If you don't agree, if you don't think that this course that we've been on for the last four years is what you would like to see us follow for the next four, then I could suggest another choice that you have.

Good post! I am glad you posted it and the verbage. Have a good race this weekend.
I just want a president who is smarter than I am. And a vice president who is smarter than my cat. Not a tough choice this year, at least for me.

ahhhh, yes, a softer, kinder message from GB. Actually if you had done this type of political "message" from the get-go, I would have been more inclined to read/listen to what you were posting. At this stage of the game I know whom I voting for....I don't think either of them will do anything good. If the DEMs win we will get to see who is controlling the strings of that candidate.....could be interesting to say the least. I just hope my Dad wins his election.
There, that's about as political as I'm going to get on a blog. Thanks for being a good friend despite our differences, buddy.
