A conservative such as I voting for a couple of divorced, dumb jocks who have no respect for the sanctity of marriage? No, thank you. If Reagan spends as irresponsibly as he did in California, then the United States will be in deep, deep trouble.
Humprhey by no means a conservative. Look at his expansion of the unjust and undeclared war in Veitnam. Taxes have gone up and government has grown larger and constuitional civil liberties have taken a nosedive. Do I even need to mention his proposal for a single payer healthcare system. It would make our healthcare much like Britan's socialized system.
I hate divorce but Reagan had little choice due to her unrepentant cheating. He did everything he could to save that marriage. As for his record as governor, his cuts in government would be active today if it wasn't for the outrageously liberal majority in the Sacramento Statehouse.
Ford graduated with honors from Michigan University. As an athlete at Michigan has some of the toughest acedemic standards in the country and has had those high standards for decades. The Fords are seeking counseling for her addiction to alcohol from some of the most respected men of God. Even Baptist evangelist Billy Graham and Pentacostal evangelist/college president Oral Roberts have lent their services.
Respected conservatives Arizonia Senator Barry Goldwater (Reagan's political and mentor) and Canidate for Governor of Indiana Otis Bowen have given their backing to the ticket. There's even word that Arkasnas resident and Southern Baptist Pastor Michael Huckabee is encouraging his congragation to vote Reagan/Ford.
Muskie, Who is this guy? He hasn't done anything worthy of note. Also he's alledged to have sympathies for the comminists. Wouldn't that seriously damage Humprhey's strong anticommunist stance?
