You mean Captain Reagan who by the second half of the 1940s was already starting to be seen as a communist fighting conservative, testifying to Congress and naming names, working with the FBI, having to carry a gun for self defense from the left, Reagan?
The Reagan after 1948 was campaigning for Republicans like Eisenhower, who he campaigned for in 1952 and again in 1956, and then campaigned for Nixon against JFK in 1960, already having earned a reputation as an active speaker for conservatism for years?
The Reagan who formally registered Republican in 1962 and spoke at the Goldwater convention in 1964? The one that Mitt and his father stormed out of in formal protest against conservatism?
Reagan was famous for his conservatism before the Vietnam War, and the Great Society, Roe V Wade, the abortion wars, Jimmy Carter, decades of Cold War defeats, and the radical 1960s, before the Reagan Revolution and the Contract with America, and Clinton, and the Gore election of 2000, Mitt Romney would not even register Republican during the Reagan Presidency or vote for him. Romney, at almost age 60, had a stroke (or something) and suddenly, unexplainedly, became a totally different person around 2006, merely to run for national office.
Reagan and Romney have nothing in common.
I like how you pretend to not know much about Romney and then when you get an in depth response you pretend to know my posting history, and then claim that I would not have supported Reagan.
I went back into the military in my 30s, solely because of Reagan and of course voted for him both times, so you can take your little punk stuff off the table. By the way, I have always been an anti-Bircher, since I was a teen.
It is the liberals among us that make ridiculous claims like you made about me and my favorite president and the Birchers, that prefer Romney’s liberalism, and insult Reagan, that causes problems here at FR.
Reagan signed the 1967 Abortion law in California...
and then he saw the destruction it created and thought better of it thank God.
