A Reagan Republican remembers these words...

"Our friends in the other party will never forgive us for our success, and are doing everything in their power to rewrite history. Listening to the liberals, you'd think that the 1980s were the worst period since the Great Depression, filled with suffering and despair. I don't know about you, but I'm getting awfully tired of the whining voices from the (Clinton)White House these days. They're claiming there was a decade of greed and neglect, but you and I know better than that. We were there." -- RNC Annual Gala, Feb. 3, 1994

"When you see all that rhetorical smoke billowing up from the Democrats, well ladies and gentleman, I'd follow the example of their nominee; don't inhale."
Ronald Reagan -- Republican National Convention, 1992.

"Republicans believe every day is 4th of July,
but Democrats believe every day is April 15th."

"A friend of mine was asked to a costume ball a short time ago.
He slapped some egg on his face and went as a liberal economist."

"Although the political landscape has changed, the bold ideas of the 1980's are alive and well. Republican candidates swept every major election across the country last year... and as a result, it seems that our opponents have finally realized how unpopular liberalism really is. So now they're trying to dress their liberal agenda in a conservative overcoat." -- RNC Annual Gala, Feb. 3, 1994

"The Democrats say that the United States has had its days in the sun, that our nation has passed its zenith. They expect you to tell your children that the American people no longer have the will to cope with their problems, that the future will be one of sacrifice and few opportunities. My fellow citizens, I utterly reject that view." -- Ronald Reagan
