Nancy Reagan to Bush: 'We Don't Support Your Re-Election'
By TERESA HAMPTON & WILLIAM D. McTAVISH
Capitol Hill Blue Staff
The widow of former President, and Republican icon, Ronald Reagan has
told the GOP she wants nothing to do with their upcoming national
convention or the re-election campaign of President George W. Bush.
Nancy Reagan turned down numerous invitations to appear at the
Republican National Convention and has warned the Bush campaign she
will not tolerate any use of her or her late husbands words or images
in the President’s re-election effort.
"Mrs. Reagan does not support President Bush’s re-election and neither
to most members of the President’s family," says a spokesman for the
former First Lady.
Reagan’s son, Ron, spoke at the just-concluded Democratic National
Convention and writes in next month’s Esquire magazine that "George W.
Bush and his administration have taken normal mendacity to a startling
new level far beyond lies of convenience. They traffic in big lies."
Ron Reagan is joined by his sister Patty in opposing Bush’s
re-election effort.
Only brother Michael Reagan, a conservative talk show host, supports
the President and claims Ron is manipulating his mother.
Unlike the other Reagan children, Michael is not Reagan’s biological
child.
He was adopted by Reagan during the actor’s first marriage to actress
Jane Wyman and often complains that his stepmother, Nancy, likes Ron
best.
"He is her favorite," Michael Reagan told Fox News.
"Ron can do no wrong. I mean, basically that's it, Ron can do no
wrong."
Ron, however, claims George W. Bush has destroyed the Republican Party
his father helped build.
"My father, acting roles excepted, never pretended to be anyone but
himself," Reagan writes in Esquire.
"His Republican Party, furthermore, seems a far cry from the current
model, with its cringing obeisance to the religious right."
The Reagans’ split with Bush and the party centers around stem cell
research which many believe can help find a cure for Alzheimer’s, the
disease that crippled President Reagan in his final years.
Bush and the ultra-conservative wing of the Republican Party oppose
use of new stem cells.
The Reagans, with the exception of Michael, support such use.
There’s more to the feud than that, however.
Nancy Reagan has told close followers she believes Bush and the
current Republican leadership have divided America with their extreme
views.
She has told Republican leaders she wants nothing to do with the party
or Bush.
During the week of Reagan’s funeral, the former First Lady "went
ballistic" when she learned the Bush campaign was test marketing new
ads that used Reagan’s photos and speeches in an effort to show he
supported Bush and his re-election.
She personally called Republican Party Chief Ed Gillespie to demand
the ads be destroyed.
Republican strategists admit the ads were produced but never ran.
They were pulled after scoring poorly with focus groups where viewers
found them in "poor taste."
"Mrs. Reagan doesn’t care why the ads were pulled. She just wanted to
make sure they never went on the air," says a spokesman for the First
Lady.
"She does care about whether or not the memory of President Reagan is
used for political purposes."

It wasn't reported by FOX, so it can't be true.
