Did I call Reagan a RINO? No. Have I ever? No.
Was he? Clearly not.
You’re putting words in my mouth, and you might want to stop that. I have only limited patience for people like you.
You can’t seem to handle the facts:
Fact: Reagan brought forward the first amnesty, thereby giving us the root of our problems today.
Fact: Reagan was a Republican.
Fact: Reagan was a conservative Republican.
Fact: Some Republicans and Republican candidates today point to that amnesty when supporting a new “path to citizenship” for illegals.
Having been active first as a conservative then as a conservative Republican for 50 years I can say that the Republican party’s leadership has NEVER been more conservative than it is right now, and since the oldest Republicans tend to be the most liberal, and because of the influx of tea party types, the GOP is rapidly becoming more conservative.
