Horse pucky.

How dare they invoke his name to kill healthcare. I might have tried to be civil to the reich wing this morning. Not now.

1. Well he would accept it and then fight for the rest...
He had said himself that it was a great regret that he couldn't get something going with Nixon that would've stuck. Then Watergate. Then Carter. Carter didn't pursue it. It was a major reason he ran against him in 1980.

3. I heard this morning that he regretted not taking Nixon's offer of national health insurance
because he wanted to hold out for single payer.

2. Because they're morning Jerks...what would you expect?
Those are the sort of people who actually think his brother would've backed Reagan's foreign policy.
