If Reagan Tolerated GOP Moderates, Why Can’t Today’s Conservatives?
>>Did you ever notice during the last campaign that Dems were never asked about gays, abortion,amnesty for illeagles, Social Security fixes or national security?
Not quite, Rudy.
Gays – Came out far to the right of Dick Cheney in disapproving flat-out of gay marriage
Amnesty – Mostly denounced it (except Hillary who, in a single “answer,” denounced it and approved of it and said she couldn’t say and said she understood all sides)
Abortion – Denounced it as tragic and promised to keep it legal, or just said they’d keep it (although Obama wasn’t asked very hard about the born-alive bill)
National security – Either promised to get us out of Iraq (Obama’s soon-to-be-broken promise) or said they had no idea that authorizing troops meant troops would be used
Social Security fixes – Sorry, I can’t remember
People know the Dems are all over the map and that they betray or punish as much of their base as they possibly can and still survive. I think people simply find the Dems more likable. Which is why the very appealing Sarah Palin might be the conservative savior.
