Reagan backed Nixon and Ford. McCain resembles Nixon in a lot of ways. The difference between then and now is that Ronald Reagan came, he showed the way, he proved his ideas are right, and now, the old guard wants to go back to the old, country club, liberal Republicans. I don't want to go back to the old party. I want to stay true to conservatism, because NOW WE KNOW BETTER.

Ronald Reagan fought for decades to get us there, and he put his ideas into practice and proved they work. It's a different world than in 1972 or 1976, and to say that we have to accept the notion that conservatives go back to being the crazy uncles in the back of the room while the Bushes and Rockefellers make the real decisions is simply unacceptable.

The goal is to convince the American people that Conservatism is the way to go. If the GOP won't accept conservatism, then we need to take our 20 or 30 percent of the electorate, run conservative candidates, and work to get that number to 50 percent. After all, what is the point of winning elections if it is just to implement policies with which we disagree?
