How come the Rudyites always have to crap on Reagan to support their guy.
Very telling.
But at least it provides a break from the constant scare tactic of pulling out the bogeyman of Hillary for President if Rudy isn't the nominee.
The truth is that you're not convincing anyone to support liberal Rudy with either tactic.
I never said I supported Rudy for President. I don't. I'd support him in the general, but I seriously doubt I'd support him in the primary because of his positions on abortion and guns.
And if you read what I said, you'd realize I wasn't dragging up 'dirt' on Reagan. I think Reagan is the greatest President since Lincoln.
What I said, and what I stand by, is that Reagan didn't walk on water. He had to deal with political reality just like everybody else, and good men shouldn't be held to some mythic standard that doesn't exist.
Example: A bunch of so-called 'conservatives' threatened (or possibly even did) stay home in Pennsylvania, because Rick Santorum supported Specter in the 2004 primary. They said, repeatedly, he was 'selling out his Reagan roots'.
Which would be quite interesting to Ronald Reagan, who RECRUITED SPECTER TO RUN BACK IN 1980 IN THE FIRST PLACE.
