Further Reagan had to make compromises with a Democrat Congress and he did. I don't care about "establishment pubbies" and who you decide to label as such or who you yell bullcrap at. Get a grip. Are you worried I might vote for Romney against a "real conservative"? Get your real conservative in the game before you worry about that and alienate lots of people who probably would support your candidate. Right now, I don't see a real conservative. Maybe it's Palin, maybe it's not. There's a few years before we know who's in the game anyway.
I gave the example of Bush the younger being more conservative than Bush the elder, and W won two elections on his own accord, whereas HW only won running on Reagan's coattails. Goldwater? The country wasn't ready yet. However, the country is still 40 percent self-identified as conservative, and there are plenty of blue-collar Dems who will cross over for the right candidate.
So go ahead with your next lie. It's what the RINO apologists do best. Other than losing presidential elections.
You’ll know you’ve won the argument when the flying monkeys trot out their, “Well, tell that to owner of this site!” come-back. Then they ping Jim. Wait for it. It’s priceless.
