"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it.
"Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything.
"I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'
"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.

I respect that lady very much. Alone, without husband, but she is still classical madam.
Merci
Great photo fo the three of them. I am so glad she endorsed Romney.
lol...
Now the gop’s very own socialist has to trot out Reagan’s wife... heh..
Trust me on this... I wouldn’t vote for romney even if he resurrected RR and put him on the ticket as VP.
Romney is a socialist.
Oh.. so because someone knew someone for however many years they MUST share that persons ideology? well.. I guess someone needs to tell Regan’s kid that hes F’ed up and simply CANT a flaming F’ing socialist.
I don’t know what Nancy’s inclinations are but i know she said McCain was OK with her as well.
This isn’t going to work either. Back the drawing board romneybots! better yet... dump your stupid F’ing socialist at the convention and lets pick up someone we can ALL get behind, otherwise you WILL regret your zealous support of this socialist. Youll not only be fighting the dems come November but you’ll also be fighting a significant percentage of what USED to be the republican base. THEN when the dust clears, YOU will be blamed for the disaster, be it Nov 8.. or when obamacare gets written in stone as RomneyCare.
Speaking of socialized medicine... I wonder what Reagan had to say about that????
Hmmmm......
