Gang of 140

Readers overwhelmingly reject Reagan-McCain comparisons. A special Reader Mail section.

(Page 4 of 17)

At every turn when he's had a chance, McCain has gone for bigger and more intrusive government: limits on free speech, resisting tax cuts, ensuring that the bench remains liberal, activist, and intrusive.

To portray McCain as an adherent to the principles of President Reagan is to utterly misread McCain.

p>To suggest that he can gain the support of the "Reagan coalition" is to indulge in fantasy. br> -- Ralph Kalal /p>

The article written by Peter Wallison is an insult to Ronald Reagan's memory. McCain couldn't shine Reagan's shoes. McCain whether by bravery or by chance when he was a prisoner of war became brain washed and somehow embraced authoritarian socialism. When you look and the things that he has embraced, McCain Feingold (the attack on the first Amendment) Kennedy McCain (the attack on America in favor of Mexican invaders) and the rest of his betrayal of trust and oath of office, the only similarity between McCain and Reagan is that they both were humans, both spoke English, and had the same physical attributes such as, arms, legs, eyes, ears, nose, mouth etc., etc. After that, NOTHING!

p>Please don't begin to denigrate your magazine with stupidity such as Wallison's absurd comparisons, they are plebian and without merit, he should be writing for Slate or perhaps the New York Times . br> -- Tony Managan /p>
