“We don’t intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all.” — President Ronald Reagan
Nah I was told by numerous Freepers that Reagan meant something other than what he said.
But they got the liberals they wanted into office so I guess lying and calling it ‘conservative’ works these days.
