    • 2004 June 28, Doug Kanter, “Re: OT: Ron Reagan”, in rec.boats[1] (Usenet):
      They're keeping him under wraps so nobody has time to rig the polling machines. They'll pop him out two days ahead of the elections. The typical Retardican will hear just one thing: Reagan. They'll vote for him automatically and mindlessly, in the same way they react (negatively, as trained) to news about stem cell research.

      Has anyone besides Drudge (and his followers) reported this story? I think you can file it with last month's Kerry-banged-an-intern story. Can't wait to see what you Retardican clowns come up with next.

      Amazing how these Retardican tools, who preach distrust and hatred of ALL government, think it's religious to believe everything the Nixonite Retardican Dumbya government says...except when that same government utters an official discouraging word against Herr Bush.
