Not sure of your point? Just more rehashed ‘no matter what’ crap from what I see of that article.

Citing Reagans 11th to elect a lib is not conservative thought.

From the first sentence of the article you linked:

The United States, like almost all English-speaking countries, has a two-party political system.

No we don't. The Constitution nowhere mentions or recognizes political parties. And our first president strictly warned us against letting party factionalism take hold.

To whatever extent parties have been superimposed upon our constitutional system, you will find the extent of the corruption.
