“It’s Cute the way you guys blame everything on Reagan republicans.”

Why don’t you refresh your memory about Reagan’s stance:

Ronald Reagan on the importance of political compromise(in his own words)

“”If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that’s what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.”

Reagan never compromised with evil. Stop throwing him in our faces.

Yeah boy, that Reagan, what a master of compromise he was! He and Gorbachev, wow! They really compromised at Reykjavík on ballistic missiles and abandoning SDI! That summit was a total success, due to Reagan compromising with the USSR!

Oh, wait...The talks collapsed at the last minute...Reagan never agreed to ditch SDI...I think it had something to do with him standing on his principles and not compromising with evil. Hmmm. Must be a lost quality these days.

Aw, but that's old hat! In today's "New" GOP, we can compromise with evil, right? We can compromise with backstabber Mitt! With Prince Reibus and his gang! After all, they're the lesser of two evils! C'mon, let's get on that slippery slope! It's fun!

Why are you using a Reagan quote on legislative battles with democrat legislatures, in an effort to promote a rino for President?

Here is the Reagan quote that applies to Mitt Romney, Romney’s father ran against Reagan for the presidency, and Mitt left the republican party because of Reagan, and didn’t vote for him and Bush, and in fact supported and fund raised, and voted democrat for a long period, before he rejoined the GOP in October of 1993, AFTER, Reagan/Bush were over, and Clinton was safely in the White House.

RONALD REAGAN—””We don’t intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all.””

“”If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that’s what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.”


Back then 75 or 80% didn’t involve thought crimes/homosexual marriage, teaching kindergardeners about two dads, forcing homosexual Boy Scout leaders, romneycare/obamacare, .... You are today comparing apples to decades ago oranges. Reagan would be outraged.

Romney gives everybody 100%, he flip flops so much we don't have a clue as to where his center is.

His moral compass could be used as a celling fan.

Innovative:

I was a Reagan State Chairman and I'll bet you weren't. There is a BIG difference between getting 80% of what you want and getting .0000008% (if that) from POS Romney and only if you care about Muffie's trust fund. Romney is our enemy on virtually everything just as much as Hillary and Obozo. The R after his name means absolutely NOTHING! Nominate some POS whether Romney or anything like him and be prepared for another Demonrat regime and record tax hikes. You will deserve it if that's what you nominate.
