Ronald Reagan talks about the Democrats (Pre-politics of destruction in U.S.)

By Jack Brummet, Two-party system editor

This video clip of a good natured speech by President Ronald Reagan reminds me of the days before the politics of destruction took over. It reminds me of Adlai Stevenson's famous quote about Republicans: "I have been thinking that I would make a proposition to my Republican friends... that if they will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.”

Adlai Stevenson quote on Republican lies

By Pablo Fanque
National Affairs Editor

Adlai Stevenson wasn't very good at winning Presidential elections, but he was a very wise man.

"I have been thinking that I would make a proposition to my Republican friends... that if they will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.”
