Yes, Larry. You have complete contempt for actual facts. Reagan started supporting Republicans, not in "1962," a six year error, but in 1950, an 18-year actuality, when he supported the Trickster for Senate. Are you contending that all those school shooter lunatics who have been so helpfully aided by the NRA are "paragons of law abiding citizens?" The Panthers hadn't carried "fully loaded" (or partially loaded, I suppose) firearms often before their famous visit to the CA state capitol. Many were limited capacity shotguns, in fact. Most of the Blue Dogs were not gone by 2000. I gave you an actual list. There were EIGHT. Are you dense? One blue dog became a Republican after he left office and joined the Bush II administration. In fact, a member whom I had a major part in getting elected in 2006 was rejected for membership because they had reached their limit. 

Mark Twain was right when he said, "Faith is believing what you know ain't so," Larry.
