Yes, yes, we know. You're a broken record and completely irrelevant.

Absolutely defeating Hilary and Obama
It is simply ironic that the libs are so adamant about aborting themselves.

Yet nobody ever questioned his strong pro-life credentials after his conversion to Republicanism. They accepted his sincerity. Why can’t they accept Mitt Romney’s?

The difference is Reagan acted accordingly on many issues after his "conversion" from Dem. Rudy and Mitt have been Republican for many years but never changed from their Dem/Rino leanings. In other words there has never been a conversion in regards to party affiliation. They are what they always were.

No confusion here. But I like him OK, even if he's confused.

The world is weary of the carping on single issues that will ultimately be decided by the courts.

I don't know who is going to be our best candidate, but I do know that this article has a pretty good point. None of our favorite candidates is close to the perfect conservative, not even your guy Duncan (who I like and admire).

Even if he has only 9 listeners as you say, what he is saying is pretty important, and we had better figure this out or Hillary will actually win.

Sanity after all...

Check out the poll on this site. I will not be alone.

Even Reagan violated his own 11th Commandment. It was really a rule, not a commandment. Honored more in the breach, and so forth. He ran against Gerald Ford.

IMO you must stand up for something; call it a 'LITMUS TEST' or whatever you want, I won't support a liberal any form..not in the primary anyway..then they will have to 'Work' for my vote; I am not giving it away to the GOP for free anymore!

[Lakeshark]

Dang.

You guys get on these threads way too fast......

:-)

>>>>>Does anyone remember Ronald Reagan's Eleventh Commandment???

Yeah, I do. The 11th comandment was a fallacy. Was neither a Reagan creation or something he followed closely, especially in 1976.

[garv]

A sitting Republican president who was not conservative enough for Ronald Reagan and we still have to go through the primaries, DUH.

[westmichman]

Mike Reagan for president!
Jeb Bush for VP.
Reagan/Bush '08

[twonie]

I hope "the right people" are reading this!! And taking notes! And memorizing!

[Dreagon]

What a weird article. Sorry, I will vote for a conservative and only a conservative.

If that ends up saddling the country with Hillary, then the Reps have nobody but themselves to blame for not providing me a conservative to vote for.

[onyx]

FYI to you. If FR polls elected presidents we'd have Keyes, Buchanan, Forbes or maybe Bauer. You're clueless.

[pissant]

His point is valid. And I haven't heard his show for some time.

But he must think through the implications of a Rudy nomination. Dismissing life and gun issues for the sake of party unity is gonna be one tough nut to swallow.

[RockinRight]

We certainly do.

[onyx]

DUH.
