What is all this canablilism going on in the GOP for? You people are on the wrong track, it’s called, vote. If people don’t like it, then next time they will vote in more GOP to get the job done. Stop attacking the GOP. You are being used by people who think they have figured out a new form of propoganda to get control for THEMSELVES. Reagan would have never declared war on the GOP, just remember that. He united the GOP and went after Independents and conservative Democrats.
He did not unite the GOP elitists when he ran in '76 and'80. He went around them. Do you remember the vitriol from the Rockefeller wing of the party and the contentious 1976 convention? He made a new coalition of like minded people to make the Ford wing powerless and forced to follow him in '80. Reagan inspired the religious right with Pat Robertson to accomplish just that. As President, he was successful because he had public support, not from the GOP in the congress. Remember weak RINOs like Bob Michel?
I don't know why you directed you comment towards me. I was defending Morris for the most part. He is right here and he is a shrewd tactician with a record of solid successes. The GOP said they were going to do something and they are looking wobbly. Point to where Reagan promised things in an election and didn't deliver?
