I dont know about you, said Reagan in 1975, but Im impatient with those Republicans who, after the last election, rushed into print saying we must broaden the base of our party, when what they meant was to fuzz up and blur even more the differences between ourselves and our opponents.
Dont give up your ideals, dont compromise, dont turn to expediency and dont, for heavens sake, having seen the inner workings of the watch dont get cynical. Ronald Reagan, 1976
A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency or simply to swell its numbers.
Ronald Reagan 1975
How did that work out, Politicalmom?
