Jim, I don’t think that these people talk to people that you and I talk to.

I have several offensive stickers on my truck and people ask me who are you for: Cruz or Paul. There is something going on, What, I don’t know.

Jim Robinson to me, Innovative: “Ronald Reagan was a great man. Not a surrender monkey like you. KMA!!”

Ronald Reagan was indeed a great man and a great president.

I don’t quite understand why you were and are attacking me for posting an exact quote by him.

Ronald Reagan Quote

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3125698/posts

“”When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn’t like it.

“Compromise” was a dirty word to them and they wouldn’t face the fact that we couldn’t get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don’t get it all, some said, don’t take anything.

“I’d learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: ‘I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.’

“If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that’s what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.”

I think most of us here, have the same goals, some of us
think that putting up good candidates that can actually win, is important — some, as I said in an earlier post on this thread prefer to lose the elections and whine afterwards, and congratulate themselves on their “purity”. That’s how we got Clinton twice and Obama twice.
