REP. BOB INGLIS (R), SOUTH CAROLINA: "Well, not so much moderates. Surely maybe they're unwelcome, but also conservatives of the optimistic sort. I think this would be a tough time for Ronald Reagan and Jack Kemp. They were optimists that believe in America. Right now, unfortunately, conservatism is being presented with a voice of snarling rather than a face of smiling, and it really doesn't fit America, I think, is the challenge."
Inglis says President Obama is "not a socialist."
Rep. Inglis is an outgoing Congressman as he was defeated in a primary earlier this year.

Reagan had a tough time with the Republican Party until 1980, Rockefeller Republicans hated him even more than they did the Democrats.

Sadly obtuse. Virtually every one of the Tea Party types who Inglis thinks would give Reagan trouble are very positive about America, they are only pessimistic about continued Obamanomics.

"I think..."
Highly debatable.

When Reagan said “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem,” was he being optimisatic or pessimistic, Mr. Inglis?

Yeah, the RINOs would be marginalizing him like O’Donnell, especially if they found out about Nancy’s penchant for astrologers...

What is that stinky gas that erupts from defeated Rino's? Maybe it's eruptus democratus.

Bob, like good dogs, we only snarl when we’re looking at our enemies. Maybe that’s why you’ve seen so much snarling directed at you recently.
And here you are, asking for more.

I don’t speak Inglis, Reagan would be leading the charge as he did in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s to promote common sense Conservatism. Inglis needs to listen when Mark Levin plays Ronald Reagan’s own words on Gov’t Healthcare, big government, national security, etc.

Bob, don’t go away mad, just go away.
