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.

Funny how these elitists just can’t seem to scrape up one thin dime’s worth of class when they get booted off the gravy train.
Reagan would be thrilled by the Tea Party, since they are by and large carrying on Reagan’s message.
Another roach to exterminate!
I do not think the Tea Party is snarling, indeed
laughing out loud at your comments is more
likely what is taking place.
And please take Lindsay Graham with you.
REP. BOB INGLIS (Rino), SOUTH CAROLINA
Fixed for accuracy.
On September 15, 2009, Inglis was one of seven Republicans to cross party lines in voting to disapprove fellow South Carolina Republican Joe Wilson for a lack of decorum during President Obama's address to a Joint Session of Congress.[5]Does this loser jerk know that Reagan challenged sitting RINO President Ford for his reelection?Inglis's 2010 Republican primary opponents have asserted that his voting record in his second House spell has been more moderate than his first. He was one of 17 House Republicans who voted for a Democratic resolution opposing the Iraq War troop surge of 2007, and has spoken against climate change scepticism, offshore oil drilling and warrantless surveillance since returning to the House.
..... AND .....
He was defeated in the Republican primary in June 2010.
Where does run away spending and a prescription drug plan(unpaid for) fit into the conservative principle. I’m tired of these whiny rinos. We want true conservatives.
Is Inglis GAY or something??? What is WRONG with these people??
POWER, POWER, POWER, POWER, POWER, POWER, POWER, I WANT POWER.
Inglis, get the hell out!
Abraham Lincoln would have a “tough time” as a Republican today, because his enemies were a secessionist, Democrat controlled South and the evil institution of slavery.
Ronald Reagan would have a “tough time” as a Republican today, because his enemies were both the evil empire of the Soviet Union, and the Democrats who would not stand against them, or openly supported them and their evil goals. To do this, he had to outspend the Democrat spendthrifts, which he did, for the far greater good.
But today, the enemy of the Republic has become a US government out of control, seeking godlike powers over all things while spending imaginary money, and promising a factor greater of spending in the future.
“Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand”, were words well known by Lincoln. But then, it was a division between the individual States.
Today, it is a division with the federal government on one side, awash with its sense of power and control; and on the other side are the individual States, and The People, who can no longer abide this excess, this largess, this oppression.
Now, saddled with enough debt to impoverish the people to the seventh generation, and an obsession by the government to involve itself in all aspects of our lives, it is time for yet another champion of the people.
Once again, the Democrats stand in the way of liberty, freedom and national solvency, so by default a Republican must restore the nation to honor. Once its own house has been put into order.
If once the elections are over, and the situation has not changed markedly for the better, then only the individual States will be able to do what they must, by holding a constitutional convention. Always loathe to do so, they must set aside their misgivings and act for the good of the nation.
He was. He’s just the icky goo on the floor after its been stomped.
No, its a tough time for people who pretend that Reagan wasnt a conservative. Inglis has tried to convince people that a holding pen beside the democrat plantation slaughterhouse is really the big tent Reagan talked about. He's another fifth columnist wearing giant paper mache elephant head as a disguise.
Inglis says President Obama is "not a socialist."
I bet he also says that Marx is only the name of a toy company that's now gone and Engels just the name of some family with a little house on the prairie. This guy is the typical "Clinton Republican", not a Reagan Republican. He's exactly the kind of person the Republican party needs to run off. Not shed, as in let them leave, but run off, as in tell them not to let the screen door hit their butt on the way out.
Regards
It might have been true in 2008 but Reagan would celebrate the Tea Party and its influence. All liberals kiss my arse.
LLS
The irony is lost on this idiot that he would be one of those giving Reagan such a tough time.
He’s entering withdrawal from the sweet life, and the tremors are racking his brain. Like Murkowski, he’s confronting the reality of entering the job market with zero skills.
