Will supported Howard Baker in 1980 and did everything possible to stop Reagan. Her became “a personal friend of Reagan” only after Reagan won the nomination.
George Will is far more of an establishment Republican than a conservative.He supported the Panama Canal deal and opposes the 2nd Amendment.
Obviously, he is a worshipper of power (like most in Washington). He didn’t like Reagan when he had no power in DC and when he acquired it, he suddenly loved him.
Drop the bow-tie and the bad haircut or toupee, Will! Yer outta style!
William F. Buckley, Jr. supported the Panama Canal Treaty. I’ve read Will for years and yes indeed he has position I disagree with. But on the taxes, the Soviet Union, big government in general he is solid.
He worked on Ronald Reagan’s debate team in the 1980 campaign for example. He was friends with Howard Baker yes, you know Ronald Reagan’s former chief of staff.
If we start throwing people under the bus, like Will, because they don’t worship at the feet of Sarah Palin then we are done for.
