The people applying for the job as our servants in politics should bring their standards up to our conservative standards. We should not be called upon to bring our standards down to them.

We can all agree on that. So did Ronald Reagan. He built his career with that philosophy...."Bold colors, no pale pastels." Didn't stop him from campaigning for people he didn't agree with all the time, like Chuck Percy who agreed with Carter more than he agreed with Reagan.

Ronald Reagan was real good at enemy identification...he despised the liberal Democrats.

I agree with you mostly and I respect your opinion.

I would respectfully submit: That was then. This is now.
