Me: Did Reagan's VP pick of Richard Schweiker suggest to you that he was a liberal like Schweiker?
The above question remains unanswered by Falcon28.
What it suggests is that conservatives should stay away from RINOs like the plague. Reagan should have stayed away from Schweiker and Palin (if she is a real conservative) should stay away from donating to RINOs like Graham.
These donations don't help her. I concluded she wasn't a conservative when she started blaming “wall street greed” for the all the economic turmoil - she must have said it a thousand times - like she was reading Democrat talking points. She made little mention of too much gov’t intervention and regulation in the markets. Her support for "comprehensive immig. reform further confirmed it.
She still has a couple years to learn conservatism, we'll see.
