“I think you’re missing the point. Even though Reagan had bedrock conservative principles, he still backed those that were less than bedrock, & didn’t go around calling them RINOS like we’ve seen here w/ Keyes et al.”
He didn’t have that luxury. We can call somebody a RINO and still hold our noses and vote against a Coakley.
“There have been some here in this very thread espousing the “all or nothing” mentality.”
Ummm, no, there haven’t.
“Especially given recent events, it’s time to seize the moment in those areas. Will they?”
Not unless they are forced to by the grassroots. Keyes is right: A clique of RINOs is running the GOP.
“but you do realize he wasn’t 100%.”
Of course I do. He couldn’t get everything he wanted, but he always knew which way was up.
“Of course I do. He couldn’t get everything he wanted, but he always knew which way was up.”
Did he know which way was up on gun control, amnesty, etc.?
