As for Reagan conservatism..........you mean Amnesty, liberal judges and broken promises about reducing the size of government?........THAT kind of conservatism?
I'll take the fence, the Constitutionalist judges and the much stronger stand on the sanctity of life that we have now, myself.
I guess it's all just a matter of perspective, eh?
Reagan had a democratic congress led by Tip O'Neil and brought in a GOP senate majority on his coattails. He accomplished quite a bit, even though he had a divided gov in his first term. Amazingly so.
