And did he not later call it the greatest mistake of his career? Yup.

The key is how to get rid of them.

You do it by burning the damned party to the ground, and then going somewhere else and starting over from scratch.

Period.

My question is?

Knowing what you know now, would you vote for RR (Ronald Reagan) again?

Amen. Eventually all these folks will run to the head of the parade after that happens claiming to have been there all along. Never fails.

Why should I have a solution? Isn’t that the job of the guys asking for your vote? So far, their solution is to “shut up and do what we tell you,” or “the only way to have a voice is to have a seat at the table” . . . which happens to be the roulette table. . . at the Republican casino, where don’t you know it? The house always wins.

The only solution I have is one that will years of pain for all of us. Kill the party. . . the one that is legally barred from fighting voter fraud. . . the one that’s bound and determined to have amnesty over the objections of it’s base. . . the one that is about halfway through the process of selling out to the gay agenda and doesn’t even want to pretend to take a stand on “social issues” anymore? Kill the party that decided that it was a great idea to borrow trillions from the Chinese to pay for a war that will never end? Or decided it was a good idea to have free trade with a Communist nation in the first place, so that now don’t make anything ourselves? (I don’t have a big problem with free trade with free nations, but buying everything from Communists? Am I supposed to be happy about that?) . . . the party that backed the largest increase in entitlements until this Obama guy came along. The list goes on and on, but we’re supposed to forget about when November comes around.

Here’s another solution, but it’s not one for me to have. You guys, the politicians, the ones that are probably going to win on November 6th regardless of what I say? PROVE ME WRONG. Clean up your act and grow a pair. Impeach the criminal in the White House, there have been so many high crimes and misdemeanors I’ve lost count. Take stands and stick to them. When the leftwing media calls you a villain. Play it up, don’t apologize to them. Remove corrupt judges from office. Don’t stab your own base in the back. Really, stop stabbing your base in the back. You can’t shame my vote back. . . you have to earn it. I’m willing to be proved wrong. I really hope it could happen, but I think it’s too late for you; prove me wrong.

Vote your Candidate in the Primary and Vote your Party’s Candidate in the General, period.

It isn’t Rocket Science. Well, maybe that’s a bad example considering what’s happened in the past week.

His point was that if you don’t win you don’t have a chance to make any changes.

Why do you preach defeat all the time? Why are you pushing for a cruz/Palin ticket?

You are fighting the battles lost a decade ago instead of looking to the future. Are you a commie plant?

“Lindsey, is that you?”

Yeah, it’s totally him. Sure...

Go ahead and keep believing stupid conspiracy plots if that what you have to do to avoid necessary critiques of bad political strategy.

Rinos are supposed to be the stupid party, bit they are able to formulate such complex plots that we supposedly smarter conservatives are too dense to see it.

We are so perfect, any screw up has to be because of RINO schemes.

Of course. He recolonized his mistakes and did not make excuses. He learned from them. The problem is people who refuse to.

Reagan is the wrong guy to try trolling me on. Best to pick another angle. Because I have shelves filled with his works/speeches and books about him.

You start from scratch after 200 years of molding it will take twice as long to make that biscuit.
