Read a bunch of books, articles, essays etc. on Reagan and you will quickly come to the conclusion that Ronald Reagon was no Ronald Reagan.
Instead, people often invent and then reinvent him to suit their own particular ideological needs regarding everything else.
From taxes to the Evil Empire Reagan swung both ways [and lots ways in between] to accomplish things that moved his generally conservative philosophy in a generally conservative direction.
But he was not blinded by the light. No politician who makes it all the way to the White House ever is.
And those who aren’t willing to split the difference on crucial issues [in our Bilderberg world] never make it at all. Folks like, say, Goldwater and McGovern?
In that context True Believers like Palin [if she even is a True Believer] will never get elected to the top jobs.
