Reagan represented a "step in the right direction" and a thorough repudiation of the impotent weakness of 1980's alternative, Jimmy Carter.
As I commented earlier in the thread, the socialists have a very effective model in their patient incrementalism. It's taken them a few decades, but inch-by-inch they've achieved just about every vision in the socio-fascist dream.
We pro-liberty/Constitution-respecting voters are wise to adopt a similar stepwise approach, ratcheting the nation back towards the Constitution stepwise as we can and by leaps when circumstances allow. The RLC is the fulcrum which can make this happen--hell, is making this happen--by attracting disaffected non-voters to a Party which at least nominally stands for small government and individual liberty.
We aim to make that a reality. And in this thread we have presented numerous examples of how that is proving out in the real world, with RLC-supported candidates getting nominated and earning election across the nation. There's more where that came from.

"The RLC is the fulcrum which can make this happen--hell, is making this happen--by attracting disaffected non-voters to a Party which at least nominally stands for small government and individual liberty."
I can agree that RLC members--or at least a majority of them--are for "small government and individual liberty." But I think it's complete fiction to pretend that the GOP has *ever* been a party that "stands for small government and individual liberty."
