Absolutely so. You know, Reagan reached out to Democrats too and a bunch of them voted for him.

Ronald Reagan appealed to Democrats by promoting uncompromised principles of conservatism. I know, I was one of those Democrats.

McCain isn't promoting conservatism, he is abandoning it. McCain is appealing to Democrats by becoming one of them.

The truth is, though, Reagan stayed centered who he was and Conservatism, AND THE DISAFFECTED DEMOCRATS CAME OVER TO HIM.

In McSHAMNESTY's case, with no moral center nor conservative underpinning like The Gipper, HE WILL PHILOSOPHICALLY GO OVER THE FENCE to the liberals way of thinking just to get those Democrats.

Sorry. No deal. No thanks. Big difference. Nuff said.

The hell he did! He campaigned on core conservative principles...his core principles and Americans responded. He never "reached out" to the other side. McCain just capitulates to the left. Attacks the Constitution, fights to keep our borders open and is now threatening to attack our economy in the name of fighting climate change. Ronald Reagan would NEVER have reached out in such a way.
