I am sick:

Of Thomas Jefferson being right, that a two party system will be our undoing.
That our Republic has been denigrated to the point that most are comfortable with the label "democracy".
That a few liberal leaning states get to decide the primary for the rest of the country.
That due to this we are forced to repeatedly chose between the lesser of two evils and not have a real chance of installing a "good" candidate.
That in four years our country has been brought to the brink of dissolution.

I am voting for Romney.

I always had in the back of my mind that our first black president was going to be our first woman president.

(Don't try throwing JFK out there either, I was alive when he was President and none of his publicity was accurate. Had he not been assassinated in 1963, he would have lost the election in 1964 and he would have faded into obscurity and been forgotten like Grover Cleveland.) So the chance of having a "good" President are far better with a Republican than a Democrat.
And in my 37 years neither the Republicans nor the Democrats have produced any stellar presidents, but I think Clinton was pretty good.

What I remember of Reagan was not impressive, but most of what I remember was from the Iran/Contra trials so its not a great assessment.
Let's see, you were 5 or 6 years old when Reagan was elected and 13 or 14 years old when he left office. Unless you were unusually interested in politics at a very early age (I was), then I suspect I see why you don't remember much about the greatest President in the history of our country. If all you can remember is Iran-Contra, then you don't know anything. Carter gave the U.S. something the so-called experts said was impossible -- inflation and recession at the same time. He gutted the U.S. economy, U.S. intelligence capability, and respect for the U.S. worldwide in less than his one 4-year term. This is what Reagan inherited. What did he give us in return? He gave us a strong economy (because supply-side economics does work), a strong military (enough to bring about the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991), worldwide respect for the power and will of the American people (because they know gutless, cowardly Democrats no longer controlled U.S. foreign policy), and pride in being an American. <SNIP>

Let me add as one who served during Carter's term, that his mealy mouthed foreign policy cost a lot of friend's lives and some from my own team. The back and forth as we scrambled, got airborne and then turned around over and over again did nothing more than show the world we had no resolve. The culmination was the vacillation on the Iran hostage rescue until an eleventh hour "Go" was given with disastrous results. A lot of good men died in the desert that night and for naught.

Interestingly, they were all of a sudden released when Reagan was sworn in.
