you just kind of repeated what you said earlier except for the first line, which I’ll address.

You will get no argument out of me that Romney is not a conservative. Most lefty candidate ever out of the GOP? Possibly, at least in modern times. I think Teddy Roosevelt could give him a run for his money.

But thats not telling the whole story, if we’re playing what would Reagan do, now is it? Conceeding that you are right, the question would be what would he do with a matchup of the most leftist GOP candidate in history VS. The most left president of all time, raised in marxism and indoctrinated with black liberation theology? Would Reagan back the GOP candidate, abstain or go third party?

You’re doing a pretty good job of saying why Reagan wouldn’t like Romney. Again, I am not saying Reagan would love the guy. But you arent telling me what you think he would do and why. Do you think he would really say “conservatives, dont vote this year at risk of another 4 years of Obama”? or “vote for Joe Schmoe who has zero chance of winning”? This discussion isn’t about Romney and anything he’s ever said and if he’s a real conservative or has been one in the past. He isn’t. I know he isn’t. EVERYONE knows he isn’t if they arent asleep or stupid. We can post clips all day long of Romney saying creepy things, and I get it. But the question for purposes of this discussion is what would Reagan do, and if you are going to try to convince me that he’d NOT back the GOP, then at least come with some logic about what he would do and why.

You are playing the same old tired game of saying Romney or Obama, except using Reagan now.

Reagan would have fought Romney. So I win the hypothetical.

Retired President Reagan lives to influence politics and is even available right now for endorsements according to you, although it is funny that he wasn’t available during the primary, like in Florida for instance.

Because of Reagan, Romney not only comes in third in 2008, but possibly even fourth because of hints and mocking from Reagan, Reagan then makes sure that his influence is felt after Romney’s 2008 defeat to make sure that the Rockefeller/Rove wing of the GOP does not push Romney back into the mix for 2012 and with out doubt keeps him from being the nominee.
