Here's the deal with Reagan. His background was in Hollywood, where he had been prez of the Screen Actors Guild (the actor's union). Then he was gov'r of Commiefornia, where he raised state taxes to balance the budget and waffled on the abortion bill. He signed it and then expressed regret. You can't be a Hollywood union boss, California tax-raising gov'r, and flip-flopper on an abortion bill and still get the GOP base on board. He'd be exactly where Romney is, where there's an off chance if you can get the hard line conservatives split just right. There's also the whole divorce thing, but the GOP base doesn't actually care about family issues. It's just a smokescreen for dumbs during the general.
are you only a hack on Mondays, or are you like this everyday?
1) The GOP has no problem with conservatives from Hollywood (e.g. Clint Eastwood, Ronald Reagan)
2) The Screen Actors Guild aint exactly the UAW where unions are driving whole American industries out of business…and Reagan switched from Dem to Rep3) CA wasn’t Commiefornia back in Reagan’s day
4) The abortion law he signed, prior to “well being of the mother” being re-interpreted by the courts, is completely compatible with what is now the life of the mother.
5) A mix of raising taxes and budget cuts are more than acceptable provided the cuts are real
Now, if you want to talk about something that would bother the GOP base, it’s Nancy’s Ouija board…but we didn’t know about her dabbling in the occult prior to him being elected.
And here I thought American industiries were driving American industires out of business.
