And where is this “Reagan” they refer to for 2016. I see nobody even close to “Reagan”....well Santorum but most here don’t care for him.
Wow. I had forgotten that George Will was the token conservative for the liberal media for more than 40 years. He needs to stick to writing about baseball, a topic that he actually knows something about . . .
This year, even the peoples republic of Maine has a genuine Tea Party candidate running for the Second Congressional District. Bruce Poliquin a native Mainer with a conservative streak the width of the Maine Turnpike is the man who can actually win and give Maine it’s first God fearing Constitution reading member of Congress in over 100 years.
I’m sorry, but, we’ve got to stop looking for the “next Reagan.” We really do. And I think we need to also stop looking back upon his time with such rose colored glasses. Good things happen? Yep-taxes, military buildup, mentality at the top, economy. Bad things happen? Yep-growth of government, amnesty for illegals, Iran-Contra, Anthony Kennedy. It’s almost like he was a “compassionate conservative” which is a term I think just about everyone right-of-center hates these days.
A damn sight better than any alternative at the time but far from the ideal conservative Presidential material we are searching for today. Any candidate, today, who tried to win the GOP primary on the platform of above would be shouted down and out as an appeaser, a squish, “eastablishment,” and, moderate.
