Judged by these standards Reagan wasn’t a Reagan conservative either.

Very well said.

And given that we all seem to agree that Reagan is the standard bearer, I hope we'll follow his 11th Commandment through this campaign season and wait to beat up on each other until after Obama or Clinton is defeated.

You need to understand that Reagan SOLD conservatism. He didn't compromise jack, he outlined the reasons why conservatism was so much better than knee-jerk liberalism. Reagan put a smiley face on conservatism.

Just because Reagan appealed to independents and cross-over Democrats doesn't mean that he was a compromising liberal scumbag like McCain is. Conservatives are not going to vote for McCain, they are not going to canvas the yards and do political activism for McCain. The GOP is DEAD...

FINALLY someone talking sense!

So many people talk about how much of a non-conservative McCain is going into this election... Reagan was a freaking democrat for most of his life! He had pro-abortion laws inacted under his watch as a governor! Practically socialist economics...

The only thing he had going for him was a willingness to go to war with the enemies of the US... “Mr. Osama, tear down this cave!”...
