True, but a conservative who signed the first California abortion bill when governor.
Yet Reagan failed to end the Department of Education, continued to fund US involvement in the UN, bailed out of Lebanon at the first sign of trouble, signed a tax increase in 1986, granted amnesty to illegal aliens, and as Governor placed state withholding on paychecks, signed a tax increase in 1967, and signed the nation's most liberal abortion bill. I love the guy, but even he compromised when it wasn't essential to the big picture.
