EyeGuy: Which fundamental, core belief would you suggest we “give”** on:

I do not suggest we "give" on any of our core beliefs.

But we cannot win in 2010/2012/... if we insist on politicians who are all better than Reagan.

12 million abortions occured during Ronald Reagan's two terms.
3 million illegal lawbreakers were given Amnesty by Ronald Reagan.
Ronald Reagan cut-and-ran from terrorists in Lebanon.
The Log Cabin Republican group supported Ronald Reagan for President.
Bush's Press Secretary wrote a nasty book. But Reagan's Press Secretary and his wife got the Brady Bill assault on the 2nd Amendment passed under Clinton.

Reagan was the best President conservatives will see in our lives, and there is nobody even close to a Ronald Reagan in sight.

The "conservapurist" attitude would rip even Ronald Reagan to shreds.

** [Why do you use quotes on "give" when I did not use the word at all in my post? Do you work for the NYT? (: ]

He did not campaign on those position. A president doesn’t have infinite power. The position requires compromise. But Reagan always compromised from a position of principle.

We are on the same page on immigration as well as your other points. I believe that Sarah has shown great strength of character in spades and I don’t think that her silence was acquiesing to amnesty as much as she needs to really think it out then I’m sure she would come to “our” side on that issue, it’s the only logical conclusion a reasonable person can come to. Either we are a nation of laws or we aren’t and it’s looking like we may not be...

After I posted to you, I see we were on the same wave-length in thinking that Alaska is so far removed from the amnesty issue and some others and really blessed by being removed from the lower 48 as far as that goes!

I think folks conveniently forget about Pres. Reagan’s amnesty as well as the other liberal appeasements.

Answer? Right now, there ain’t none! It’s regroup, rethink, readjust, gain strength, get on track and continue to do right because it’s right and our Lord will demand an accounting regardless. Seems like there are many Chamberlain’s waving little worthless pieces of paper lately.
