Bump again. It's one thing to be CONSERVATIVE, another to blindy follow simply because of a political label. If one looks at the issues - limited government, lower taxes, self-defense, etc the Republican party of 1860 is not the party of President Reagan.

The government was smaller, taxes were lower, and we punished those that attacked us. Looks like Lincoln was a fine Republican in the sense of Reagan to me.
