Actually, I did vote for Reagan. As long as the GOPe can count on conservative votes in the general election, they’ll be destroying the conservative candidates in the primaries. Voting for the left wing GOP candidate is the short sighted position. Is that you, Karl?
True, Reagan cut tax rates early in his Presidency, but the rate cuts accompanied closing "loopholes" like the credit card interest deduction that meant that many Americans saw little net cut.
He also backed an increase in the Social Security tax and in the national gasoline tax.
Let's not forget that he granted amnesty to illegal aliens in 1986.
So yeah, if Cruz, or Rubio, or Cristie ran on increasing the Social Security tax, the Gas tax, and granting amnesty to illegal aliens, you'd support them just like you did Reagan, right?
