They made their major contribution in their January 2010 issue, when they surfaced the "Jews hate Sarah Palin" meme that echoed around the blogosphere -- at least the East Coast RiNO blogosphere -- making their point.
But it isn't Palin. It's all of America across the Appalachians. Seems like a ton of East Coast people left Europe, but never embraced America. Now liberal-arts degrees from Connecticut mandarin-hothouse schools are more esteemed than American liberty itself, in the big megalopolitan ant-pile.
LOL!
The GOP as it stands today can KMA.
” I before E.......”
Except for a weener!
LOL.
Lowry is not so stupid that he does not understand your points. His argument is precisely the sort that American statesmen used to describe as "speaking with a forked tongue." It is not a legitimate argument, and making it discredits he who utters it.

She won’t just siphon votes with conservatives. She would siphon
Reagan Democrats off, as well. The elites are afraid of her. That is why
they spend so much time trying to discredit her. It hasn’t worked. In fact,
she has grown in power!
Reagan regretted amnesty. They always forget that part.

Ronald Reagan’s Biggest Mistake – According to Reagan Himself
And this is a review of a recent oped piece in WSJ by Ed Meese:
MEESE: ROVE 'WAY OFF THE MARK' ON 1986 AMNESTY
(Original article behind paywall.)
If anyone here cares about my background, I ALWAYS yell at people that we must vote for the GOP against democrats, even when it’s a RINO.
After decades of this, hard as it is, I am about ready to abandon the republican party over amnesty.
Amnesty for illegal immigrants is such a terrible policy for America, and against our citizens and legal immigrants, that I cannot abide this.
So I don’t care what they write about Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin could support amnesty for all I care. I’m certain the GOP is about to lose it’s base over amnesty and is going to disintegrate if they don’t stop this madness.
Hold hearings, allow a debate in our nation, stop trying to run America with the latest “Gang of 8Holes”.
Exactly so. Reagan wanted it to be a one-time thing and believed it would be. Perhaps he was naive or maybe he just hadn’t been away from the democrat party long enough to fully realize what bunch of lying bastards they really are. He wouldn’t appreciate being made a fool of.
B U M P!!
I don’t think they even begin to realize how many have already left the GOP.

And Reagan thought this was fair to the people who had been here for years but the idea was to STOP NEW ILLEGALS FROM COMING ACROSS THE BORDER. I doubt Ronald Reagan would have done this if he thought it would set up an excuse to let illegals in year after year after year. Reagan WAS NOT IN FAVOR of destroying our borders. He was NOT in favor of illegals. Why don't people go back and read the history of what Reagan was doing? I remember... for those too young they should read some old newspaper stories ...
Keep in mind that the so called GOP professional campaign consultants keep prodding the RNC and RNCC et al with video clips of the enormous crowds Gov. Palin drew after the convention, but above all the tsunami of individual monies that flowed to the coffers. In my memory no GOP presidential candidate much less VP candidate drew such consistently huge crowds that venue changes had to be made to accommodate them. And that includes Ronaldus Magnus.
That memory scares them into brown trousers mode because unlike Perot’s campaign, Gov Palin is capable of drawing a fifty state ground campaign for the full ticket not just the top. That said, even with no broader goal than White House nor a Tea Party base Perot scared both parties.
That’s the real reason that a third party at this date can present a strong threat to the status quo nomenklatura. That’s why the constant barrage of attacks from both sides, which goal is to form the meme for the lo-no-info voter.
The author of this Commentary article uses the names of Lincoln and Reagan in the same manner atheists use the name of Jesus to make some point that they cannot otherwise support by claiming Jesus would agree with them, even though they will, in the next breath, claim that Jesus is really just a myth. The editors of Commentary will give Lincoln and Reagan lip service but hardly revere them the way conservatives do. So, the neocons seize on Palin's mention of Lincoln and Reagan to disparage her and pretend that Lincoln would have welcomed people illegally crossing the U.S. border and wanted to give them citizenship and that Ronald Reagan would have done the same. That, of course, is utter nonsense.
When President Reagan signed that 1986 immigration bill the U.S. had approximately 5 million illegal immigrants living here. Today the number is anywhere between two and six times that (no one really knows for sure because illegals don't fill out census forms). Then as now, the flawed '86 bill offered amnesty and increased border security but as we know, the amnesty was quickly granted but the border security enhancements never materialized, hence the surge in illegal aliens residing in our country and straining our social structures (schools, hospitals, welfare agencies, court system, prisons system, etc.). Conservatives revere Ronald Reagan for a number of very valid reasons but his signing of the '86 immigration 'reform' bill is definitely not one of them.
Neocons using Reagan's signing of the '86 bill as a rationale for the GOP to pass yet another flawed 'immigration reform' bill that make similar reassuring promises about drastically tightening border security but that, we now know from experience, will be quickly jettisoned once the illegals have their amnesty is disingenuous at best and highly offensive to conservatives. That neocons continue to bash Sarah Palin when she strongly criticizes the immigration 'reform' bill now before the House simply validates conservatives opinion that the bill is a disaster in the making for the Republican party and for America. So, again, thank you, Sarah.
Let Bonehead and Cantor push an amnesty bill through the house and
the GOP will find out.
