"Newt's not Reagan, OK. " you are thinking Reagan after 8 years in the White House, not Reagan the first time candidate. I heard bed time for bonzo a lot back then. Reagan wasn't well liked, I think he was 10 points behind bush at this time, maybe more

You need to get out more. And you need to stop listening to the MSM so much.......it'll warp your mind. What state do you live in anyway, Utah, Alabama? Really Brian? I don't think you want to go there...... Perhaps it's no accident that your initials are BS......<g>

Backlash: Reaganite Fla. Cuban Leader Backs Newt, Blasts Mitt For Distortions I said early on, I thought it would be a bad idea for Romney to go where he now has. Not sure how much this tracks in Florida with the vote tomorrow, but a great many people are extremely angry over what Romney has been doing and it could still bite him in Florida and haunt him well beyond. Did he really want to poke solid Reaganites, conservatives, the grassroots and Tea Party movements with a dishonest Mitt stick? Well, he has. Carlos Perez, one of Ronald Reagan's closest Miami advisers and a Radio Mambi talk host who is influential in Florida's Cuban-American community, says there is growing resentment among Hispanics due to “lies and distortions” from GOP candidate Mitt Romney targeting former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Perez told Newsmax in an exclusive interview Saturday afternoon that a backlash is brewing against the Romney campaign’s allegation that Gingrich tried to undermine former President Ronald Reagan’s agenda. Perez was a close adviser to President Reagan, and Reagan even acknowledged his Cuban-American friend's achievement during a State of the Union address. “Among Cuban-Americans, you can bet your life Newt Gingrich will win the primary election,” Perez flatly predicted. Perez, host of a popular Miami radio and television show, said Hispanic voters and especially Cuban-Americans are now “backing Newt Gingrich dramatically” and “getting a little bit mad at the Romney campaign.” Perez endorsed Gingrich’s presidential bid on Monday. On Saturday, he told Newsmax that the buzz in the Cuban-American community has turned strongly pro-Gingrich.
