Apart from getting the year of The Great Ronald Reagan's election wrong, this is pretty close to the mark.

Time magazine, the epitomy of the Lefty msm, trying to understand conservatism is like trying to explain faith to an atheist. They have no capacity for understanding something that is foreign to them.

Wrong? How?

He did win the landslide in 1984.

The landslide in 1980 was a vote of hope - the one in 1984 was one of validation. I think that is the point.

I can give you 444 reasons why it was a landslide victory.

Not sure if she confused the year or if she was referring to his landslide victory in 2004.

You're probably right but 1980 is the year I will ALWAYS remember!

God bless and keep The Great Ronald Reagan.

If any party is in trouble it would be the rat party. The top two, Hillary and Obama are immenently beatable by almost any Republican.

EDITED EXCERPT Pew Research Center survey of Republicans (and D's) asked what traits they were looking for in candidates: Among Republicans, 61 percent are more likely to vote for a candidate who is Christian; 86 percent are less likely to vote for a candidate who does not believe in God; 62 percent of Republicans are less likely to vote for a candidate who has had an extramarital affair.

Very compelling numbers that are consistent with a previous Pew survey showing Republicans Can't Win Without Christian Conservatives.

FREEPER ALERT: Upon reading this poll, Rudeo's Campaign Machine will go into Mach One Spin Mode.

Watch so-called "Republican" Rudeo Giuliani have a couple well-rehearsed "Come to Jesus" moments. His campaign handlers will have Rudeo on bended knees, praising the Lord to high heaven. A Bible might suddenly appear out of nowhere. Maybe even a rosary (for the Catholic vote).

Add to those numbers, an astounding 88% who said they had a problem with Rudy Giuliani not attending his son's graduation (separate poll made after Andrew Giuliani outed his father as a miserable no-show Dad with an overbearing shrewish third wife who orders Rudy not to see his children).

Man, the Rudeo people are gonna go ballistic. Cases of valium and vodka are being delivered to Rudeo campaign hdq as we type.

Good article. The propagandists are at it again conducting the psychological attack/control war for the dhimmicrats. The Time magazine cover is the latest, obvious example.

The GOP is in disarray but conservatives are not.

This is news? Time gets it wrong on almost everything almost all the time.

'84's the one I recall most vividly.

I worked with a grad from MIT who was a staunch Mondale supporter, so liberal and left he hurt, and entirely believed Mondale would unseat Reagan.

What made it so memorable is I told "Marv" I'd heard something about a "brooming" but not being as educated as a MIT graduate I'm not supposed to be as politically astute as he.

He said "Brooming!?!" I said , "Yeah - something about Reagan beating Mondale with a broom."

Man, was he PO with me. (put out)

Time magazine is trying to do a few things....

1) Sell magazines. Dems will be happy, and say "Ya! I told you"
Cons will say, oh what is happening. I need to check it out.

2) Shape our knowledge base. This would benefit their
liberal mindset.

3) Keep themselves from getting blown up by Al-Qaeda terrorists,
for reporting the whole history of Al Qaeda from Morocco/Algeria/
Egypt to Afghanistan/Somalia/Iraq

From the article:

"Conservatives have no identity crisis. We're just in search of that leader who is as great as the agenda."

That's the way I see it. We are HUNGRY, nay, FAMISHED for True Leadership within our party. And we don't suffer fools gladly, either.

"Man, the Rudeo people are gonna go ballistic. Cases of valium and vodka are being delivered to Rudeo campaign hdq as we type."

I'm sick to DEATH of the Rudy-Bots around here. What on Earth can they possibly see in this man, other than they "think" he can beat The Beast? You know what? I would NEVER wish her on my Country, but if 4 years of her is what it takes to seriously shake the shoulders of those in the GOP and make them get a CLUE, then so be it.

I'll not compromise, not for that beotch, not for anyone. I expect no less from my fellow Pubbies. :)

The equally lecherous Benito Mussolini started making appearances at Church when he came to power, accompanied by the papparazzi, of course.

You got that right, DIW.

Notice that only social conservative Republicans are being asked to compromise their long-held principles (principles that made the party what it is today).

This is the MO of The Everything-For-Us-Nothing-for-Conservatives crowd.........THEY takeover the party, and toss US overboard.

Course this crowd made one ignorant assumption--assuming social conservatives would roll-over and play dead, to let a bunch of cross-dressing, abortion worshippers walk all over us.

Aint gonna happen.
