He is a member of the party, whether you like it or not. You have the power to kick him out? I don’t think so.

Reagan would not have spit him out - he was not about knocking the party - he was about improving it. Romney is not the liberal “we’ are making him out to be, but if it makes you feel better to kick him around - continue to do so. I prefer to concentrate on what we all agree on - fiscal responsibility - and beating the D’s in 2010.

_____________________________________________

President Ronald Reagan was a gentleman...

But...

Both Romney, failed candidate for POTUS, and his father, George, failed candidate for POTUS, spat on President Ronald Reagan and ON his good friend Senator Barry Goldwater, Republican nominee for POTUS in 1964...

Romney rejected Goldwater.

Romney rejected Reagan and even registered independent in protest.

In 1993 Romney reregistered as republican and quit giving money to liberal democrat candidates but came our against the Gingrich revolution.

This conservative pro Reagan persona was not adopted until it came time to run for the presidency, Romney was almost 60.

There are plenty of young conservative governors that actually win elections and hold office, it is OK to fight to keep a RINO from defeating actual conservatives.

We don’t need to defend and protect every Crist, Giuliani and Romney type as our best candidate for president on this conservative forum.

Nonsense! See my tagline, Reagan was totally in favor of getting the liberals out of the GOP.

Let's not forget that Ronald Reagan was the first "real candidate" (as opposed to some fringe candidate who never had a chance) in modern times to challenge a SITTING PRESIDENT for the party nomination and he almost won.

Reagan didn't have a problem with Mormons either. In fact, he had so many in his administration, close advisers, etc. It's hard to imagine he would have had any problem with Mitt's faith at all.

“Ronald Reagan's administration included more members of the Church than any other American president, ever. Three of us, David Fischer, Gregory Newell and [Stephen M. Studdert], served on his personal White House staff. Richard Wirthlin was his chief strategist. Ted Bell served as Secretary of Education, Angela Buchanan was Treasurer, Rex Lee was Solicitor General. His White House included Roger Porter, Brent Scowcroft, Richard Beal, Blake Parish, Jon Huntsman Jr., Dodie Borup and Rocky Kuonen, and there were many other Latter-day Saints throughout his Administration.” -Stephen M. Studdert, Special Assistant to President Reagan
