You guys are nuts, Reagan was the right winger of his time, he would be much farther right now, since he would not be alone, living in a world totally run by the left.
Romney is literally the anti-Reagan, a candidate so far left that we have nothing in the past to equal it. Romney is trying to move us radically to the left, undoing all of our decades of conservative advancement.
If George H.W. Bush had beaten Reagan back in80, Reagan would have been out there campaigning for him in the fall. If Reagan were alive and healthy today, he’d campaign for the GOP nominee, even were it Mitt.
You’re wrong. Reagan was absolutely NOT the uber-conservative that he later became.
So sorry... And I’m not even all in favor of Romney... But your characterization is just unfair. I don’t know if he’ll make it to the general election or not... But Romney would be far better than Obama. I suspect that that’s what FR’s leadership actually wants: another Obama term. Well... I don’t. I will support any republican instead of Obama.
I think there are some conservatives that really do want another Obama term. The idea I suppose is that he’ll screw things up so bad that the nation will have no choice but to elect conservatives.
I think this is badly misguided. After another Obama term there may be nothing left to fix.
