Reagan's big tent included social conservatives, libertarians, small government conservatives, big government conservatives, supply siders, and tax hikers. Although I should have known better, I listened to NR when then all but indorsed Carter over Ford and didn't vote. I have not listened to the "lets teach the Repubs a lesson" ever since. We are in the middle of a war that may last as long as the Cold War. I will not willingly cooperate in anything that puts the Dems in power to create more Killing Field's and Boat People. If I could appoint the next president it would be a Dick Armey or Larry Kudlow. As it is I will support just about any candidate who I believe will be a good war leader.

The unfortunate thing is that we have too many real, true, principled conservatives that do not like big tents. You either agree with them on their pet issues or your not a real conservative. Of course the democrats have a very similar issue.
