Now you lower Nancy Reagan Conservative values to support Mitt Romney or bash McCain.. Can’t tell which...
Oh by the way which one of them Conservative values does the Mittster evoke in you?
Nancy Reagan was never a conservative in the sense that her husband was. She never pretended to be. She had her own views, which she mostly kept to herself; some critical ones were quite opposite the president’s, i.e., ‘life.’
Her preference for McCain is understandable but has nothing to do with McCain/Romney and their conservative credentials or lack of same. Her seeming preference for McCain is that she knows him and doesn’t know Romney. McCain came to DC in the Reagans early White House years. He was then one of the few early conservatives in Congress who supported her husband. Naturally she is going to prefer him over someone who wasn’t on the scene in those days.
Neither is Romney my idea of a conservative. However, unlike McCain, he has not spent the past decade inexplicably stabbling conservatives in the back at every opportunity, which leaves him as my preferred option at the moment.
