Narrow minded as in just focus on Reagan and ignore the inflation and unemployment he inherited from Carter?

Any time you want to present some data to support your "facts", I am ready and waiting.

Until then you remain someone who does not back up your claims.

You are missing an opportunity to prove me wrong.

By the way I never said you were wrong about Reagan. I went to check your claim and posted what I found. I also said I could be wrong but you refuse to prove anything. You would rather call people names and accuse them of lying than to back up your end.

Did you go to the tea party convention?

Richmond Tomes-dispatch:

While the overwhelming majority of attendees at the Greater Richmond Convention Center were white and older than 50, there were signs of a growing base for the tea party.

Daniel Cortez of Stafford County, for example, is half Hispanic and half Native American and considers himself "a tea-party guy."

Cortez, 59, is a disabled Vietnam War veteran and immigration activist who has been both a Democrat and Republican but never felt at ease on either side of the aisle. That changed when the tea party came along.

"What's inviting to me is that the tea party is representative of democracy at its true core," he said. "There's no partisanship. It's about who best can serve following the tenets of the Constitution -- responsible government, responsible spending and responsible taxation."

Cortez said the tea party is "absolutely not a conservative movement," calling it instead the "party of America."

To Cortez, the tea party is about patriotism and a renewed hope for the future.

"I was losing faith in my country, and the tea party gave me that faith back," he said. "I know my ethnicity, I am proud of my ethnicity, but I am more proud to be an American. That's what the tea party is all about to me."
