You believe the Republican Party was conservative in 1980?
Prove it.
And don't tell me because Reagan was nominated. Reagan was one man and it took him several tries to finally win the right to represent. We're speaking of the Party here.
If you are going to contend the republican Party was akin to conservatism in meaning, go back, get the votes...the records...the Senators...and PROVE the majority represented conservatism in context of the times.
I can no more do that than jump through the rim of my rectum and disappear.
The longer I think about this, the more I remember Bob Dole, Howard Baker.....etc.
I guess this is just another good reason for the northeastern US to secede so the rest of us can live like Americans.
