Well, the Republican party once made a hollywood type union activist former Democrat president *LOL ;)

Yeah, true. And I'm concerned that we'll never make that "mistake" again. Even if Ronald Reagan was resurrected and read his comback speech from a burning bush the conservative base of the 21st century would reject him for cutting an running from Lebanon, or for signing Amnesty, or for allowing 12 million abortions during his two terms, etc etc.

Mmmh, Reagan probably would have survived due to his considerable charm. I'd be worried, about the architect of the conservative revolution, Barry Goldwater, though ("Everyone knows that gays have served honorably in the military since at least the time of Julius Caesar.You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight."). Way too libertarian for the christian right ("Every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass.").
