And if Reagan were still alive, to many FReepers Reagan would be a RINO (he allowed illegal immigrant amnesty, remember?)...

I am afraid your assessment is incorrect as your grasp of Reagan's actions and positions on Amnesty are incomplete.

Reagan's Amnesty bill included strict enforcement provisions that were never enacted, furthermore, his son Michael has stated publicly that Reagan felt this Amnesty bill and the resultant lack of enforcement was one of his biggest mistakes, if not his biggest.

And that my friend, is the rest of the story.

Also, I sincerely doubt your premise that anyone on this site would call Reagan a RINO.

Well stated.

There is one long time FReeper who has called Reagan a RINO in several debates I've had with him over the years. He's been sick lately, so I'll cut him some slack. A commentator of the absurd. ;^)
