And I would respectfully suggest that, in consideration of "The Reagan List" you might want to rethink the inclusion of amnesty, or path to citizenship - when criticizing a candidate's position, since Reagan signed the Immigration Control and Reform Act of 1986.

To be clear, Reagan did not compromise his principles when he legalized almost 3 million illegal immigrants. But it appears he compromised yours.

It’s a fair point. I can see why you would see it that way.

That amnesty led directly to the thirty million plus illegal aliens that are here now. It opened the flood gates. He got suckered by the Left on that one, that’s for sure. They promised to secure the border if he would ‘just this one last time’ offer amnesty for what they swore was only a million illegals. Of course they were lying through their teeth. If he was alive I personally think he would clearly see that in retrospect.

But, in addition to his Peace through Strength position on national defense and foreign policy, he was a personhood, Fourteenth Amendment prolifer, unlike Mrs. Palin, who takes the exact same pro-choice for states, states rights trump the unalienable right to life, position on abortion as Gerald R. Ford did, and as John McCain and Ron Paul do.

That earns him a lot of points.
