How far off the deep end has what's been passing for conservative gotten? The litmus test authored with intent to impose upon all republican politicians isn't a test Reagan himself could pass. Reagan could not live up to Reagan.

Did your head do a double take? Yes, folks you heard that right. The Tea Party has held their tantrum for the RNC, and the revised republican brand claiming a Reagan Resolution exam= Reagan flunks at his own namesake!!

Anyone truely aware and informed on Reagan and his work in office, already knew that.

This comical myth of the "Reagan Legend " is downright hilarious for those of us who were at an age to be aware of what he was doing and what he did, at that time.

The revisionist delusions of blabbering Conservative Republicans in the last two years, is simply that. Revisonist history, with a large dose of wishful thinking; on their part.

They were desperately hoping no one would notice or remember.

Oooooops, we did.

This contest of preposterous... they imbibed in false reality, believe because they need to believe, and even when they're beating their own heads into a brick wall they swear on their own mothers the brick was thrown by a liberal. I hope they get well soon.

The problem with crying wolf so often is the day a liberal actually does cross that line and get diabolical on us, no one will believe a thing.

I think it's simply that they have no current leader worth taking seriously. They know this, and so they glommed onto Ronald because he was the closest thing they have had to a hero in the past several decades. Not that he deserves that rep, not by any stretch of the imagination. He was a walking, talking photo op, and not much more.

Real hero -- funneling arms to people who kidnapped and held hostage our countrymen. Can you just imagine if a Democrat had done that?

Desperate alright but I don't think they're grasping that it was they who killed their own party. They appear to have some crazy version of how the world ought to be and it just doesn't match up with what the actual world is. Maybe if they click their heels 20 times.
