Some say Coolidge.....at least Roosevelt had courage at San Juan hill
Regardless views you can say the same on Lincoln...he had balls
And he offered my kinfolks good terms ..much better than the ultra liberal radical Republicans who betrayed his unifying vision after his killing
A few senators here and there....some old Dixiecrats who changed party and others
But think about it
All my lifetime ....Goldwater a stalwart at the time ..the GOPe has fought conservatives constantly since 1964 which I’ve witnesses
When people here claim they are conservative because they cheerlead GOPe I know how stupid they are
Average GOPe today is less conservatives than sam nunn or zell Miller or sonny Montgomery and Dan moynihan and so on....it’s pitiful
It’s the neocon party no doubt
Low taxes
War hawks especially in ME or over Israel
What culture war?
That’s it.
I’m all for a new party...course I grew up with folks who’s parents lived GOPe reconstruction...I’m biased I admit...
Republican Party has only ever been besides Magnus and Trump a choice of lesser of two evils
I’ll add two more Dems who were Conservative: Ella Grasso (Great governor) and Scoop Jackson. Ella, was an underrated governor (fought her party against an income tax). Scoop Jackson was pretty good, too.

Eisenhauer
(”...with many historians concluding that Eisenhower was a “near great” or even “great” President.”)
“Average GOPe today is less conservatives than sam nunn or zell Miller or sonny Montgomery and Dan moynihan and so on....it’s pitiful”
Jeane Kirkpatrick. And Sam Stratton of upstate New York was another conservative Democrat who ought to be on that list. Sonny Montgomery was a personal friend of my father. Montgomery and Stratton both vets, both looked out for the military.
