True. But does acting count as "business experience," though?

He was a radio announcer, an actor, and a spokesman for GE.

Never in business.

Keep trying, eventually you might get close to posting his full resume

And since when was GE not a business. Since when was managing an acting career not a business, or a part of the private sector

Or are you just determined to fudge the truth and move the goal posts until youre almost correct about something

Nope. You're just full of shit.

Apparently, you're not familiar with the concept of "employee," which is what Reagan was in all three ventures.

And it being a spokesman is business experience, then Anita Bryant is an Orange Farmer.

I believe you are mistaken

Reagan, for example, worked in the private sector for much of his life

I believe the last two Presidents with significant business experience were Herbert Hoover and George W. Bush.

quote:


Washington had never seen anything quite like him: a one-time liberal Democrat turned Republican conservative who could disarm critics — even the press — with a sly comeback.

"Mr. President, in talking about the continuing recession tonight, you have blamed mistakes of the past and you've blamed the Congress. Does any of the blame belong to you?" asked ABC White House Correspondent Sam Donaldson.

"Yes, because for many years I was a Democrat," replied Mr. Reagan.

***

"Former Congressman Prentiss Walker dropped in on a farm and introduced himself as a Republican candidate. And as he tells it, the farmer's eyes lit up, and then he said, 'Wait 'til I get my wife. We've never seen a Republican before.' And a few minutes later he was back with his wife, and they asked Prentiss if he wouldn't give them a speech.

"Well, he looked around for a kind of a podium, something to stand on, and then the only thing available was a pile of that stuff that the late Mrs. Truman said it had taken her 35 years to get Harry to call 'fertilizer.' So, he stepped up on that and made his speech.

And apparently he won them over. And they told him it was the first time they'd ever heard a Republican. And he says, 'That's okay. That's the first time I've ever given a speech from a Democratic platform.'"

Good to see you supporting a solid left wing enterprise like running a major union.

That Hollywood is a cesspool of liberalism and communism cannot be denied (to the point where conservatives have to "hide" their affiliation for fear of finding a lack of work)

...As McCarthy said, some State Department employees with communist associations might be innocent. His point was: The Democrats were still refusing to take Soviet espionage seriously by investigating these preposterous risks on the government payroll.

Far from recklessly smearing people, McCarthy described each employee as a "case" and cited such evidence as their being identified as Soviet spies in FBI reports, by fellow spies and by the State Department itself. He reported their connections to known agents, attendance at "Youth International" meetings in Russia and repeated contacts with known Soviet espionage groups.

These were not baseless charges. And as we now know, they were absolutely true.

Sensible people knew it at the time, but the disgorging of Soviet archives as well as Soviet cables decrypted by the top-secret Venona project proved beyond a doubt that McCarthy was right about the individuals he named. None of them should have been allowed anywhere near a government office.

I want to be very clear: communists have every right to be communists. People in this country have every right to be communists. The right they don't have is to my vote.

I don't care that Charlie Charlain might have been a communist. I don't care that the Baldwin brothers certainly sound like communists.

I just don't want communists within 500 miles of a government post (and the socialist in the oval office right now is lumped in there).



Peace and comfort,



Michael
