I also came to adulthood during Reagan's tenure. But it's always really bothered me when Republicans throw his name around: This is what Reagan would have done. This guy's like Reagan. Etc. I predict that I will be even more annoyed if he passes during this election cycle, as the charlatans and sycophants in the Republican party (ie, the entire party) inevitably use his name for their personal gain.

I think George W. Bush has very quietly, without ever saying so, adopted him as his role model for the presidency more than his own father.

In my freshman year of college and Univ. of Tenn., Mr. REagan gave a campaign speech. After his speech, he asked the band to line up.(after playing "Stars and Stripes Forever about 50 times,we thought he'd request "Hail to the Chief. I was amazed when he asked us to line up so he could shake our hands, ask names, home towns,ect. Teens couldn't vote that year so I came back to the dorm, amazed that he would take that time out for us when he could have spent much more time with the voters. I went right out and joined the Young Republican's Comm. When I heard the sad news yesterday, all I could think of is "He's going to add to the brightness of the "city on the hill." Thank you for letting him share his life with us. We'll always be proud of him and proud of you and the family. Keep your collective chins up. God bless all of you. May his great soul rest in peace in God.

Reagan's Death It's hard to believe it's been nearly ten years since Reagan left the public scene with his announcement that he had Alzheimers. He's had such a profound impact on my life and has been the best President of my lifetime. The country was a mess when...
