Did you vote for Reagan?

Twice.

I did and I did it despite the fact that he once supported abortion.

LIAR. Reagan never supported abortion - he signed a bill that was meant to legalize abortion in cases of rape, incest and the health of the mother (within the realm of many pro-lifers) - NOT to allow abortion on demand. Doctors abused that last case and Reagan later regretted signing the bill.

That is the problem with you RINO boosters - you re-write history to make your points.

Oh, and once again, RINOs lose when they run for president. The point is not about alienating allies. It is instead to ignore the siren call from the establishment wing of the GOP that would rather be a chronic minority party than have to accomodate all those rube social conservatives.

Please... he signed the bill. I'm sure Romney never really loved abortion either but the guy lived in Massachusetts and made compromises I'm sure he regrets just as Reagan had to do in California.

What's your real point here? Do you want people to rove this site and harass people who are going to vote Republican, call them liars and insult them as not being conservative enough? People who do that should at least draw a check from the DNC. Otherwise they're just useful idiots.

I'm not familiar with this issue, so please clarify one point for me:
Did Reagan or did he not sign the bill legalizing abortion (regardless of the rationale at the time)?
