Oh, I see. WHEN you were divorced is the important factor, huh? I guess if Giuliani waited 30 or so years after his string of divorces, you’d vote him, huh?

Reagan parted on good terms with Jane Wyman. And divorce is the least of the reasons why I wouldn't vote for Rooty.

That (some of)his children hated his guts, one posed nude while he was in office, and that he divorced Jane Wyman are all facts that can be disputed?

None of Reagan's children EVER said they "hated his guts." Moreover, these aren't "skeletons" they were everyday knowledge.

Ummm, no. Reagan was a Classical Liberal who held some socially conservative views. Learn what “liberal” and “conservative” really mean, before you continue to use them incorrectly in defense of ridiculous arguments, please.

No, you learn what conservatism is before talking about an 18th Century definition of liberalism.

Giuliani is a Classical Liberal who holds some socially-conservative views

No, Rooty is a hardcore leftist liberal who holds NO socially conservative positions.

What you really mean to say is that Reagan promised you a Constitutional Amendment banning abortion and poldged to put prayer back in the schools, and THAT is why he’s the “benchmark” for “conservatives”.

Is this another way of saying that conservatives have "had their feet on the neck" of the GOP for too long?

“And divorce is the least of the reasons why I wouldn’t vote for Rooty.”

No, but it made your top three. As for REagan and Jane Wyman being the best of friends afterwards, irrelevant.
Either divorce is wrong, in your opinion, or it isn’t. The number of divorces and the terms under which they were consummated make no difference. If you feel divorce is a character issue, then apply the question fairly.

“Moreover, these aren’t “skeletons” they were everyday knowledge.”

I guess so long as your dirty laundry is all aired publicly, no matter how sordid, it makes everything okay? I’ll remmber that the next time someone posts a picture of Giuliani in drag. The double standard continues.

“No, you learn what conservatism is before talking about an 18th Century definition of liberalism.”

The 18th century definition is far superior to yours (confused as it is). Without it (the 18th century conception of Liberalism), there would not have been a United States of America. With yours, there will be a Christian Saudi Arabia.

“No, Rooty is a hardcore leftist liberal who holds NO socially conservative positions.”

Yep. just what I thought. All about God, Guns and Gays. See my Christian Saudi Arabia crack above.

“Is this another way of saying that conservatives have “had their feet on the neck” of the GOP for too long?”

I would have thought that was easily discernible to even the dimmest bulb, but it is nice of you to admit it.
