Conservative magic
A friend of mine asked what magic the conservatives use for changing “night to day “and “day to night?”
Ronald Reagan had three wives and serious problems with his children. Jimmy Carter had one wife with loving children. Reagan was spun as the man with family values.
George W. Bush was not only absent from Vietnam, he was even missing from his champagne military assignment in the reserves. John Kerry served in Vietnam with distinction earning a bronze star and three purple hearts.
Yet, George W. is proclaimed as the patriot.
Congress for the last seven years has been known as the “do nothing Congress.”
The president has urged and pleaded with them to work together on the simplest of items.
Not only have they refused, but they portray President Obama as being a divider.
I told my friend it is not conservative magic, just deceit.
