He stated many times that he did’t leave the Democratic party, the democratic party left him."
You are absolutely correct. Reagan was a democrat not a liberal. He certainly was never anything like these liberals today. I usually have to explain this over and over again to Romney's people. They just can't seem to understand that candidates back then, not even the democrats, got as liberal as Romney did up in Massachusetts. Trying to excuse their liberal candidate, they disparage Reagan and anyone else they can think of to try to help Romney's judgment appear better.
Well that, and his conversion to conservatism didn’t happen a year and a half before he ran for president. If Romney had gone through his big transformation 20 years ago and since then had a consistent conservative record - it would be a totally different situation.
Wrong -
First part is right. And the last democrat left DC when Zell left.
There are no more Democrats in DC - NOR liberals in the halls of Congress. When are we going to call them what they proudly call themselves behind closed doors, with their membership cards in their pockets:
AKA - Communists.
Why do we continue to let them use the cover of "democrats"?
