It would be great if people would learn the history of the Republican Party. It was always the liberal or left-wing Party, until Taft took over. TR thought Taft was too conservative so he ran against him on the Bull Moose Party so that Woodrow Wilson would be elected. Calvin Coolidge was a conservative but for only one term. Hoover was a progressive Republican who enacted a lot of policies that FDR expanded on.
Ike was not a conservative, in fact he almost ran as a Democrat. Nixon? He started price controls and the EPA.
Gerald Ford was probably the strongest pro-choice President before Obama. Another “moderate” Rockefeller Republican.
You have Goldwater who was a conservative, Reagan, and who else? Bush and Bush Jr were faux conservatives. Anyone who objectively looks at their tax and spending policies would have to call them RINOs.
Romney is probably the most conservative and smartest nominee since Reagan, especially with Paul Ryan on the ticket.
hahahahaha!!! Good one.
If that is so then why does he need Ryan on the ticket???
And Welcome to Free Republic, Noobee.

We shall see. Let’s get the Kenyan out first, then we’ll cross that bridge.
Whoever told you that, told a witting lie for political effect. Called a roorback. Sorry about that.
You are a new Romney plant. Romney destroyed the Republican Party yesterday.
I would like to get some of what you are smoking; if it is a legal substance.
Exactly right. As I watch this convention and it’s speakers, I find that they are trying to appeal to a broad spectrum of voters. That is how we win in a landslide. If the American people pull Mitt across the finish line they expect him to lead and get things done - not ram one-sided bills through congress. People are sick of that.
