"The Old Ones are Always the Best"

It's good to know that personal and health problems haven't stopped Great Britain's Iron Lady from pushing the conservative cause. Tony Blair is trying to demonize the Tory's by linking the present leadership with Lady Thatcher. One problem: Thatcher is the Conservative Party's Ronald Reagan. They adore her, and she is the Tory's best advocate--which shows what depths the party has sunk to since she's been out of office for years. It would be like John Kerry labeling President Bush a "Reagan Republican." The GOP wouldn't mind, and the public would mostly remember the Gipper's successes (tax cuts and confronting the Soviets) and his optimism.

This in no way is a criticism of Tony Blair being an outstanding ally of the U.S. in the Islamist War. On many occasions, his words have inspired us all on why this war has to be fought.
