Nancy Reagan endorses Mitt Romney

Victoria Angulo / Ronald Reagan Presidential Libra

Nancy Reagan met with GOP candidate Mitt Romney at her home in Los Angeles. They had cookies and lemonade and she offered her "firm endorsement."

 

 

SAN DIEGO, Calif. --  Former First Lady Nancy Reagan became the latest Republican heavyweight to officially endorse Mitt Romney's presidential bid this afternoon after a meeting at her home in Los Angeles.

"Mitt and Ann Romney joined me at my home this afternoon for some lemonade and cookies and I offered my firm endorsement of his campaign for President," Mrs. Reagan, 90, said in a statement.  "Although I know he will not be the official nominee of the Republican Party until August in Tampa, Florida, I am thrilled that after Tuesday's primary he is the clear choice, having won the magic number of 1,144 convention delegates." 

The former first lady, who met with all the Republican presidential candidates prior to the NBC/Politico debate at the Reagan library last September, said former President Ronald Reagan would have liked Romney's personal background as well.


"Ronnie would have liked Governor Romney's business background and his strong principles, and I have to say I do too. I believe Mitt Romney has the experience and leadership skills that our country so desperately needs, and I look forward to seeing him elected president in November," Mrs. Reagan's statement said.

The Republican establishment continues to coalesce around Romney since it became clear he would be the party's standard bearer in November. In March, former President George H. W. Bush and his wife Barbara offered a formal endorsement for Romney in Houston. Earlier this month, their son, former President George W. Bush told a reporter he too was backing Romney. And last night, former secretaries of state Condoleeza Rice and George Schultz offered their support to the presumptive GOP nominee at a fundraiser outside of San Francisco.

Oh,Lets illegally give an enemy arms(Iran) for drugs(to poison our own citizens) for money to buy more weapons to give to a country that congress passed legislation that made it illegal to sell arms to.because We (Regan) don't like the duly elected government of that country. We have experence with that,because my VP was CIA director when the democraticly elected president of Chile was murdered because we didn't agree with his politics and inserted a dictator that would make Hitler and Stalin look like choirboys.

    He made military spending look like he was a drunken sailor on shore leave...The "cold war"?? When you have enough bombs to destroy the whole world 50 tmes over,why would we need more? I could go on and on,but I wont... History will eventually bring the truth to light.

    As to Mrs. Regan endorsing Mitt Romney,she's a good republican and does what she's told.

    Regan wasn't really that good of an actor,either

    Regan was just another lying snake of a polititian, history has already proved that.

    And before you all get bent out of shape, I'm not a pinko liberal,I'm a conservative independent. I just think all of us can handle the truth.

            Reagan was the best president we will see in our lifetimes. History will prove it someday. Despite his very 1st cuts which negatively affected my family financially, the 80's were great! Go ahead and blame Reaganomics for all your woes, nobody is listening to it anymore because it is not the reason this county is going down the drain.

            Reagan's "legacy" is the biggest hoax of the last century. He ran on balancing the budget, cutting taxes and simplfying evil, wicked "Big Government". When he left office he had doubled the size of the federal government, dramatically run up the deficit and yes, he raised taxes numerous times. Correctly in my view but that's besides the point. His religion was cutting taxes and he repeatedly raised them. He also led an insane build up in our military, spending countless billions on weapons systems we never needed so I'm sure his memory is still a big hit with all the weapons contractors who grew rich off of his government contracts for the Pentagon. The guy is the most overrated president of the post war era.

            We were still in a race with the Soviet Union then. Reagan spent money on the weapons system to deliver one last final blow to the USSR. All presidents during the Cold War Era spent a lot of money on weapons to keep up with the Soviets.

            Wasn't there something called Iran-Contra during the Reagan Administration? Can't blame Mr. Reagan, though; it's very likely he wasn't even briefed on that adventure. In fact, according to memoirs and news people who covered his Administration, he was often unaware of things he should have known about and was treated by many of his staff as someone just playing another role. Decent guy, but not one of our finest Presidents.

              @witchking - I will need to research your other items but #7 is just wrong. Do you even know what capital gains tax is? Basically if you risk your money to invest in a company and hold that investment for 1 year then when you sell you pay 15% on the profit that you make on the investment. If on the other hand the investment tanks like is so very common right now with the stock market then you get to take the loss off your taxes at a rate of $3000 per year if you sell.

              This is not the tax on wages which are at the regular rate for everyone this 1/2 tax business is the capital gains tax. This would work the same for anyone making an investment in the stock market. Essentially, paying less on an investment is the incentive to get people to invest in businesses which results in more money and jobs. If you tax people to death so there is no profit if you invest correctly then no one will invest because it is risky as there is no real security net if the stock tanks (unless you just hold it and hope it goes up).

              Example: If you invest $3000 (which is more than I invest I admit) in stock X and the stock increases by 20% and you have held it for more than a year and sell it then you will have made $600 and the government will take 15% (or $90). This has nothing to do with my being taxed on my job wages which are taxed like everyone else. If the stock drops by 50% and you sell it to at least not lose the rest of the money. Then you will have lost $1500 and you can take it off your taxes (however anything over 3000 and it must be taken in multiple years). So for people who can invest millions to actually make money in the market you can loss your shirt and never recover it (which many people have).

              All this broo haha about the "rich" paying half tax is Obama trying to deflect people from looking at his record while actually messing people over. Anyone can invest in the stock market even with tiny amounts of money. It actually is one of the ways (though risky) to get ahead. However, if they start taxing it like mad then no one will have this option.

                      NAVY: Nancy can bring together each side of the GOP. You mean the far, far, far Reich Wing nutcases with the far, far, far, far, far,far Right factions of your party??? Now that is LOL funny.

                      You know how I know there really is a god? Of Ronnies 4 kids, 2 of them, one his namesake, both with Nancy girl ARE CARD CARRYING LIBERALS and I derive tremedous satisafaction whenever I think of that.

                      My guess is the old girl feels the same way about Willard as do the Bush's, which is to say, she detests him.

                      Regan was not a good president, just like he was not a good governor. He started the destruction of California with his policies.

                      First he closed the fire camps stationed all over California and manned by delinquent teens. They cut fire trails in the woods and were support in the case of a fire. These boys learned how to be men instead of throwing them in a box and teaching them how to be criminals.

                      Then to show his great respect for our veterans as republicans always seems to do. He then decided that all the disturbed Vietnam veterans didn't need the half way houses that kept them off the streets. Then one day to the next there were homeless veterans everywhere.

                      Yeah that Reagan was a great guy. I can see why republicans think he was so great. Look at all the people he made suffer. If the republicans could get the Ryan budget passed, Reagan couldn't hold a candle to the suffering they plan on for our future.

                      We all know why too, for more tax cuts for Romney and his rich friends. Romney loves America so much he would take the food out of the mouths of children to give more to himself. He would take care from our wounded veterans to give more to himself. He would get rid of medicare to give more to himself.

                      To top it off the party that has signed pledges to never raise taxes wants to raise taxes on the poor. I guess that pledge read never raise taxes on the rich, everyone else is okay.

                      How is returning to the very same bush policies we are recovering from going to be good for our economy?

                      If you think tax cuts for the rich is the most important thing to do for our country even if it destroys America so the rich can buy the pieces at bargain prices then be stupid enough to vote for Romney or any republican for that matter.

                      Do I sound like I am sick of the lying and the voter suppression by the billionaires to get their own way in our country, you are right.

                      How can suppressing the vote be American? Isn't that what they do in countries trying to suppress democracy?

                      What a surprise one 1%er endorsing another 1%er. I always though she had more class than that. Then only thing I can figure, is that he begged for that endorsement, because she really does have alot more class and personality than he will ever have. Still love you Nancy.

                      Wasteland your so smart tell me how returning to the very same policies we are recovering from, the right thing to do for our country?

                      Romney's plan is to do what bush did only with more tax cuts for the rich. He has hired most of bush's old advisers. Romney's budget adds to the deficit to give more tax cuts to the rich just like bush. With the bigger tax cuts Romney wants more wars we can't pay for.

                      Romney wants to get rid of those nasty regulations that keep Wall street from properly robbing us again. Didn't this movie end badly before and what makes you think it will end any differently this time?

                      Don't forget bush was a businessman too.

                        Did you notice the condition of our country when we voted for a democrat? We were bleeding millions of jobs every month. Our entire country was ready to crash and burn brought to you by republicans. Other than give no strings attached money to the bankers to make up for the money they lost through greed, the republicans didn't have a clue as to how to bring us out of the disaster deficit they created with tax cuts and wars.

                        Are all republicans amnesia victims?

                        Then you want to act like it all started 3 1/2 years ago when we elected President Obama.

                        Good lord more proof the republicans are the party of more hate than brains.

                        Bud, the month Obama was sworn into office, America lost 750,000 jobs. During the past two years there have been gains in employment nationally each and every month. It would be more than it is if Boehner, McConnell and the rest would step back, take a deep breath and remember their number one priority should be America.

                          Speaking of outer space, did you know that Romneycare thinks that God was once a man, born on a planet named Kolob? It is true. Mormons believe that we ALL can become God. You have to get to the TOP level of heaven (and that is a mini series in itself), but once you do, you get your own planet and a harem of virgins circling it, and you populate it.

                          I know it sounds like you should drop acid before delving into this wacko cult, and it probably is a good idea. But this Romneycare guy buys into all this, and some of you think he is capable of leading the free world. Unbelievable.

                              I'm amazed by the MSNBC web viewers. Even if you disagree with Romney's policies show the former first lady some respect. She's earned it.

                              Can't you far-left liberals sell your talking points without taking immature, name-calling cheap shots? (same for right wing nuts too btw)

                              Can anyone explain to me why are MSNBC liberals the most vicious and denigrating of any group out there?

                              How did she earn anyone's respect? For her acting?

                              It's not vicious or denigrating to point out her husband is the "father of conservatism" but never balanced a budget while President, and made it worse by cutting taxes, increasing national debt.

                                  If you read my original post I stated quite clearly that the far-right are guilty of mud slinging as well. As for slanderous comments towards Madam Secretary, what do you want me to say? I don't speak for the right. Give me a break.

                                    Really? How about "Still clinging to the spotlight Nancy Reagan endorses Romney? "

                                    Who else was she going to endorse? Newt?

                                    She should have followed her own advice. "Just don't do it."

                                    Endorse a presidential candidate??? . . . Nancy Reagan couldn't successfully endorse a can of warm spit! -- and who really cares what she thinks or who she endorses. . . . the woman is totally irrelevant to anything political. Just a bunch of 1% ass-kissing going on is all.

                                    Like I needed another reason NOT to vote for Romney. That heinous creature helped get an Alzheimer patient elected president. Twice! No use for her then, no use for her now.

                                    Let's also keep in mind that Nancy brought-in astrologers and psychics to help Ronnie craft his foreign policy.

                                    And unlike some former First Ladies who actually have jobs that make their opinions relevant to the masses, Nancy is and always was a house wife. Her opinion on politics is no more interesting than the lady across the street.
