“Reagan also signed the Brady Bill.”
I know he supported it but I don’t think he signed it. He
signed the Mulford Act when he was governor. It was just as
bad though. Not good for sure but he still was conservative.
On the tax’s he got screwed when the spending cuts never happened and
on immigration he got screwed when they didn’t get control
of the border. A lesson today’s pseudo Republicans didn’t learn or failed to grasp.
You know exactly what point I was making. Why do you want
to make a big deal about it? Do you support moderates? It’s
ok if you do. They will change when they think it will
benefit them.
I didn’t say I support moderates. I just find it humorous that the denizens of this room will scream RINO!!! at the top of their lungs when any Republican strays 1 degree from conservative orthodoxy. But when you look at his record, Ronald Reagan strayed from conservative orthodoxy several times. And he is (rightfully, IMHO) lionized here. The hypocrisy is amusing.
