The Paul haters will turn on Reagan before this is over.

Like they turned on William F. Buckley in this thread.

The Waning of the GOP

Our conservative icons are more likely to be demonized on this site these days then the most leftist democrat is. This is how neo-conservatism is reshaping the G.O.P.

I have seen the phrase “paleo conservative” used as a form of derision in the forum lately.

Like they turned on William F. Buckley in this thread.

It's like reading an exercise in free-association technique. I'm not sure if they don't understand him and garble what Buckley wrote or if they just hate the truth and shrink away from it, trying to convince themselves he can't be right.

I would almost say was shaping the GOP. They've had their run and frankly shot for the moon on Iraq. The 2006 election combined with 25% that are 'undecided' (to the pollsters meaning that 25% did not give a positive on any of the candidates chosen by the media) is a pretty clear statement that many Republicans gave Bush and Friends a chance and now they want to return to old conservatism.

Some here can spin it any way they want but the evidence points in a clearly different direction
