I'm sick of this constant Reagan bashing and total misrepresentation. Reagan was a Democrat when most Democrats were a lot different. And what's important, that people like you always manage to leave out, is Reagan had a more than 20 track record of moving towards conservatism by the time became president. He had writings and speeches. He didn't just wake up one morning an change parties like you seem to think. It's really ignorant what gets propagated.

John Kerry and Obama are completely. I weight a lot higher standard for people who supported them. The fact that you can't tell the difference between Reagan and Obama makes you look ignorant.

Kari Lake was an adult when she switched parties and supported Kerry and Obama. And I have never seen her say or write anything to revoke that support. I don't see any track record of conservatism for her. How many times do conservatives need to be burned before they learn their lesson?

I totally oppose this "Reagan, bad - Obama, good," meme.

No border wall. No more opposition to ACA. Anthony Kennedy clerks on the Supreme Court. Woke mobs, Antifa, BLM being given the country. Transgender takeover.

My posts are about Reagan only.

I don’t know any details about Kari Lake except that I really like watching her speak when I’m sent to her videos by posters.

I can see any and all arguments during a primary but Kari Lake is the candidate and the only chance to defeat a leftist Arizona Governor, why would you be campaigning against her now?

In what way was I campaigning against her? I assure you that is the farthest thing from the truth. And I have never said anything good about Hobbs,.

But, I'm not going to lie, and say it's pretty disappointed in the Republican crop. I have never seen a Republican primary season were the GOP swerved this far to the left. Not every single primary, but a majority. I do not support a single Democrat, but I don't know how we can expect much with the Congress we are going to have. I'd like to be surprised by being wrong, but it's unlikely.

Someday soon, Romney will one of the most conservative Republicans in Congress, and that is a pathetic development.

I completely don’t know where that came from, don’t think that at all, don’t know where you got that from what I wrote, but I understand the rest.

There have been a lot of Democrats who have been red-pilled in the last few years. We’ll see if Kari Lake was really one of them once she’s elected. And if you look at Republicans prior to Trump, there were a lot of reasons to not like the top leadership going a good ways back. Romney? McCain? Dubya? H.W.? Yeah, I voted for all of them, but for the first two I was really holding my nose.

In any case, we can’t afford to turn away anyone who has ever supported a Democrat, which is where I’m coming from on all this.

Trump appears to have supported Obama in 2008 and left the democrat party in 2009, becoming a republican, he left republicans and then rejoined the party in 2012.

I’m guessing that Kari Lake has made a real switch and may be very interesting to watch, I anticipate her being a firebrand governor.

Funny, I've done a Google search and don't see anything that says Lake was a Democrat or voted for Obama.

But, I do know she's running on the right platform and is INFINITELY a better orator and debater with far charisma than DeSantis, who has about as exciting as watching a plant grow.

Before she embraced Donald Trump, Kari Lake signed on with Democrats as Barack Obama's fortunes soared

The ‘unstoppable’ Kari Lake?

There another good one, but I can't find it now.

And, individuals, including politicians CHANGE.

Trump wasn't always purely conservative. But, he is the best President and, by far, the most conservative since Reagan.

I can't find ANYTHING online that says Kari Lake voted Kerry or Obama. She's absolutely running on the right principles and I see no evidence whatsoever that she's not sincere.

And, she is infinitely a better speaker, debater and communicator than DeSantis who is an incredibly bland candidate. Having the it factor makes a huge difference and Kari Lake has has the it factor.

The Republican establishment is way, way too comfortable with DeSantis for my taste. And, that is huge red flag.

Even Jeb Bush looked conservative as governor of Florida so governing as one there doesn't tell me if DeSantis will sellout to the GOP establishment.

He'll get slaughtered, though, if he runs against Trump.

Can you find me any source where she explained a conservative viewpoint on an issue or anything of substance? A lot of so-called conservatives these days have no substance, they are just that on paper, and are social media snowflakes.

She was 34 when she though Kerry was great and 38 when she started supporting Obama, it wasn't a youthful indiscretion.

Read my posts, they make clear that I am not the guy to ask to fill you in or argue with you about her positions.

Two days before the election is not the time for you to be campaigning against the republican candidate though.

Stop lying , I am not campaigning against her. My comments on this site will have no impact.

But I definitely put all you people on notice that you supported nominating all these lefties, I doubt you'll be holding their feet to the fire when you get nothing for it. The reality is , whoever the House majority leader is will be less powerful than Pelosi or her successor. Biden might get more of his agenda passed in the next two years, than he did in the first two years.

We are 40 hours away from people voting and you are going nuts against the republican candidate, really, obsessively nuts against her, and now for some reason against freepers in general.

Why don’t you want her to win?

LOL. You are funny. I do not want the Democrat to win. I would not tell a single person to vote for Hobbs. You’d have to be stupid to vote for her. At the same time, I don’t agree with you I should be happy about the left wing takeover of my country. And all the Reagan bashing.

“”I don’t agree with you I should be happy about the left wing takeover of my country.””

Now, that is a real example of someone typing out a lie.
