Idiot. Reagan was vastly to the right of almost everyone in the GOP...many Tea Party included.
Additionally, where are the calls for Democrats to compromise? They refuse. What does our side do? Just adopt the same views? That seems to be what these relics are suggesting.
Let's determine what Bob 'Let's Make A Deal' Dole did while minority leader. The dem congress would want 3 billion for a project. Ole Bob would say, no deal but we can settle on 2 billion. That was ok with the dems because they would have settled for 1 bil. That's why he was never castigated by the left.
