The simple fact is that no one on this site knows what RR would do today. He was the right man for his time and his time has come and gone. The principals he stood for are still alive and well, but there will never be another Ronald Reagan. Let’s not continue to project “WHAT” RR would do today. It is all idle speculation with no foundation in fact. If we are counting on another of RR to save this election, we are all doomed. It is time to deal in the reality of the present moment and do our best to elect a republican, even if flawed in certain areas.
Ronald Reagan was a man of principles. This is something the liberal wing of the current GOP just doesn’t understand, specifically the Rudy Giuliani people. You just cannot understand why people are going to vote against him because of moral principles. You know why? Giuliani has none!!
Which means we need to look at what Reagan actually said:
Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?
A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.
I do not believe I have proposed anything that is contrary to what has been considered Republican principle. It is at the same time the very basis of conservatism. It is time to reassert that principle and raise it to full view. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way.
He was the right man for his time and his time has come and gone.
Only for people like you who have always abhorred conservatism.

No, it is time to nominate and elect a conservative. A liberal like Rooty will NEVER get elected because the majority of liberals vote for the 'Rats. I can hardly imagine what you and the other Rooty Rooters would be saying if Hitlery had an "R" after her name.
