Ronald Reagan is a much better example to follow than the hand-wringers and others who think if the party isn't perfect then they want to "walk out" on it to "teach them a lesson." Reagan didn't do that, and I won't either.

Too damn funny.

Ronald Magnus Reagan: "I did not leave the Democrat Party - the Democrat Party left me."

The Democrat party left Reagan just as the Republican Party has left us. Great example - thank you!

You need to learn your history. Reagan knew the 'rats were the wrong way to go, and above all he worked to defeat them, even if sometimes it meant "compromise" with them--like Tip O'Neil.

And you conveniently ignored the point of my post. Reagan lost to a RINO in '76 and had every reason, the way he was treated, to be angry at "the establishment". He didn't.

He knew the Republican party could be turned around from the inside, and while he didn't like what was happening, he stayed with it and worked for change.

If you want to act like a petulant teenager and pout, feel free. I'll stick with principles and work constructively, because I prefer Reagan's method to yours.
