Funny isn't it? Reagan, Ford, his wife, Betty...?

[fanaticsrscary]

Probably even Nixon and for sure, Bush Sr., would all be considered "liberals" by today's Republican Party standards. So just how do they think they will win any elections by going farther and farther to the right?

 

[El Tecolote]

Yessss.... and JFK, with his easy taxation on business, his confrontation of communism in the Bay of Pigs and his "ask not what your country can do for you" statements would be considered a conservative by today's left-wing standards. What's your point?

 

[Obama is pure evil]

You're kidding, right? Since Reagan, the GOP has moved considerably to the left. That is why we lost the last two elections.

 

[ND Fan]

Of the three mentioned, only Ford would be seen as a RINO. Both Nixon and especially Reagan were stolid conservatives.

 

[Culture Warrior]

Nixon's policy of detente would have been ridiculed as appeasement by todays Republican party. Reagan kept the Cold War, cold; todays Republican party would have derided him as weak. Bush Sr. waiting to get a UN mandate and to gather allies before entering the Gulf War - and then not even marching into Baghdad - today's Republican party would have impeached him.

 

[Swine Flu Lou]

Reagan was the definition of conservative. Ford was middle of the road and First Ladies aren't on the ballot.

 

[Joe]

Ford would be, not Reagan. Maybe Bush Sr.

 

[Ollie North's Gold]

Shhuhs dont say that to loud, they are are the perfect path to failure.

 

[TEA.TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY!]

Your kidding right? They need to go back to the right,because they are to moderate now.
