I know there are a lot of political TLs out there right now. I have been tossing this one around for a while and am just testing the water.

“Governor Reagan is reported to be in fine condition after his minor surgery Thursday afternoon. The former Californian Governor, and Republican Party Presidential hopeful, had a benign colon polyp removed at Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center. His campaign has emphasized that the polyp is not cancerous, but the damage may already been done to his campaign image, which has already been dogged by claims that he is too old to run for president.”

“It it with a heavy heart that I announce that I am no longer a candidate for the President of our United States. Our country does not need divisive politics but rather we, as a Party, must be unified and look forward. That is why I am supporting my friend and ally, George Bush, in his campaign as President.”




“I will not pursue the office of President as an Independent. It is not the right time for me or Keke. This is personal decision, not a political one.”




“That asshole thinks he can get rid of me by sending me to the UK? He hasn’t seen the last of me, goddammit”
“I don’t think it is such a good idea to call the President an asshole.”




“I shall not be a member of a party which fights to keep me out of office.”




“1984 was too soon. I knew that if I was to be the first to try, I would need to win. Yes, I wasn’t ready in ‘84. I don’t think the country was ready. I think it worked out just fine the way it did.”




“I am running for President because God wants me to and the nation needs me to.”




“Didn’t anyone tell him that his revolution failed?”





“I love my country and I want to serve it in any way I can. That being said, I have no business running for President and will never have any plans to do so. Does that answer your question?”





“I wouldn’t be running for President if I didn’t think I was the best man for the job, and I wouldn’t be running if I thought nobody would vote for me. I’m not running to ruin it for anyone. I am in it to win it.”




“What the hell did John see in that guy?”





“It is time to reclaim the White House, our nation, and our future!”




“When I left office back in ‘81, I had no idea what was to come. How could I?”
