winning bombs shelter
If Reagan wins, I'd sell the farm and buy a bomb shelter.
christian odds heritage
Reaganism is not only at odds with the Judeo-Christian heritage, it will not work.
character republican made
I am a liberal and always have been - just not the wild-eyed character the Republicans made me out to be.
wife south-dakota mets
I met my wife in South Dakota.
cancer dark age
This total failure to address the diet/cancer relationship is most disturbing to ...those...informed...
taken government order
For a generation and more, the government has sought to meet our needs by multiplying its bureaucracy. Washington has taken too much in taxes from Main Street, and Main Street has received too little in return. It is not necessary to centralize power in order to solve our problems.
hurt responsibility people

winning thinking discredit-you
I suppose politicians have always wanted to get re-elected, but there's a kind of a feeling now that if you just discredit your opposition, it makes it easier for you to win. I don't think that's necessarily true.
dark track age
This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing...
good-life presidential campaigns
You never fully get over [losing a presidential campaign]. But I've had a good life. I've enjoyed myself 90 percent of the time.
