Sorry...

The folks I am talking about, for example, claim to be Reagan Republicans and rail against compromise. Either they are idiots or liars. RR was famous for taking what he could get and coming back until he got what he wanted.

While RR remains the greatest President, IMHO, in my lifetime, he has become something of a cult hero to some. His two terms were not without serious missteps. These same people want to hold GWB and the current crop of candidates to a standard even RR could not meet. Bothers me.

A very real, not to mention serious, problem on FR, is the mythrogrification of Ronald Reagan and the Founding Fathers here. GOD help you, if you dare, DARE, to post historically accurate FACTS about Reagan, the FFs, and now, Newt to FR. That appears to now be reason enough to be personally attacked, slandered, libeled, and pummeled by those who promulgate the GEORGE WASHINGTON CHOPPED DOWN THE CHERRY TREE kind of mock history, here.
