By using Reagan's signing of a bill involving abortion, as a way of saying that Reagan wasn't a "true conservative", is to totally go against the entire reasoning Ronald Reagan had in signing that law. It is a gross misrepresentation - otherwise known as a lie -as to Reagan's intent in this manner. Thus, since abortion is such a critical guideline to morality, it is a lie as to Ronald Reagan's character.
I see this very incorrect "line of reason" - put in quotes, as something filled with factual faults has no reason - sometimes being used to justify some other GOP politician's crass political maneuverings. We may have to do distasteful things to knock communists out of office, and we may only be able to make tiny baby steps to gain a foothold back - BUT WE CAN'T DO IT WITH SLANDER, ESPECIALLY NOT OF REAGAN.
Ronald Reagan was a human, and thus imperfect. BUT HE NEVER, EVER IN HIS POLITICAL LIFE SUPPORTED ABORTION.
He didn`t lie—Reagan signed such legislation. From that point on, you tried to make it seem like he meant Reagan wasn`t a true conservative. That wasn`t his point. If you weren`t so determined to make it seem like that was his point so you could bellow self-righteously, your mind would clear and you could see his very simple and correct point in the context of this discussion. I`m afraid your posts here show you`re either unwilling or unable to understand a simple point made without endless qualifiers. 2nd assumed he was writing something any thinking person could grasp; I suspect you do get it, but are so worked up that in order to save face you`re only prolonging something that makes you look silly. I don`t mean to insult you, but you don`t get it; as someone who actually WORKED for Reagan, he surely has the background to make such a clear statement, which is an honest one.
He (2DV) didn’t lie about Reagan, and he didn’t call him an abortion supporter either. He merely stated that Reagan was given information that made him choose the lessor of two evils. Politics is not always black and white, and governors are not dictators. They have to work with state legislators, in this case, California state legislators.
You on the aother hand - and I don’t care how long you’ve been here, are acting like a child. Especially with your scum bucket list.
Sheesh!
