Can you name the RINO who said THIS?

"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.

Yes, yes I know Ronuldus Magnus anywhere.

The paramount difference is called "core"

Reagan never needed to call economists (when he was in his 50s) to find out what he thought about things. Reagan stressed tax CUTS, because he believed in the Free Market in what he called the Creative Society. I have 6 CDs at home of his old radio programs where he spoke about what he believed. He never put the Children First.(his lone campaign promise-which means specifics he pledged to do-that he couldn't fulfill on was eliminating the Department of Education)It was all substance, no cliches, no filler. Just "here is what I believe, and this is the reason I do"

Ronald Reagan was leader, a role model, an inspiration. He was a guiding force in times of crisis. He turned the tide, he brought us back, and he made us proud. He did that with specifics, details, and courage in his convictions. He was an unbashed conservative and lived by his motto "Government is not the solution, government is the problem." In short, my fellow conservative, Ronald Wilson Reagan was everything ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER is not.
