(1,201 posts)I would have love to have been in this smug, self-righteous, asshole's office this morning when the work came down that the law won't be in place for November 6th.
When the clip of him saying "done" this summer came out, I called his office from out of state and told his staffer that I thought he was a "treasonous pig." The young man who answered the phone didn't like that and said I was "harsh and overreacting." I asked him if he knew what occurred in Philadelphia MS in the summer of 1964? (The murder of 3 Civil Rights Workers) He said, "No and I don't care." I said, "Yes, I know; that is the problem."

Main article: Ronald Reagan's speech at the Neshoba County Fair
On August 3, 1980, Ronald Reagan gave his first post-convention speech at the Neshoba County Fair after being officially chosen as the Republican nominee for President of the United States. He said, "I believe in states' rights ... I believe we have distorted the balance of our government today by giving powers that were never intended to be given in the Constitution to that federal establishment." He went on to promise to "restore to states and local governments the power that properly belongs to them".[5] Analysts believed that his use of the phrase was seen by many as a tacit appeal to Southern white voters and a continuation of Richard Nixon's Southern Strategy, while some argued it reflected Reagan's libertarian economic beliefs. The speech drew attention for his use of the phrase "states' rights" at a place just a few miles from a town associated with the 1964 murders of civil rights workers.
