Not if people here bashing Romney would apply the same standards to Reagain.
Let's not forget some of the leftist compromises Reagan did:
1) Raised fica taxes in 1982
2) Raised income taxes in 1986
3) Signed Amnesty into law in 1986.
4) Appointed Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy.
5) Cut and run in Lebanon after one terrorist attack.
6) Appeased Iranian terrorists with an amrs deal.
Don't get me wrong. I love Reagan. He was a great president. But he was by no means without his flaws, and he was by no means a consistent conservative. He compromised with Dems because that's what politics requires.
Well, he was no Cal Coolidge, but you’re correct, politics is politics
