“Had Laura introduced Ronald Reagan as a conservatives conservative at CPAC in 1975, she would have gotten similar comments to what she’s getting here.”


Reagan, or “Ronnie Raygun” as he was known then in a derisive national nickname, mocking his rabid conservatism, was seen as a radical, far right guy.

Reagan was known for his right wing battles from at least his days in Hollywood, he fought the communists during the McCarthy era.

Romney was a vocal critic of conservatism before he started this campaign, and has never been bloodied for anything, in his entire self serving life.

Romney was anti-Reagan.

Ronald Reagan raised taxes 18% in his first year as Governor.

Ronald Reagan liberalized abortion laws in his first term as Governor.

Ronald Reagan was a former Democrat.

Ronald Reagan was President of SAG.

Comparing that record to Romneys record as a first term Governor in Massachusetts in an interesting exercise.
