He was in a HUGE rush to get to Nancy Reagan after the debate at the Reagan Library!. If he could get any support by using the Reagan name fine! If he thinks by throwing the name under the bus gets him goodwill well then he will!

You guys can criticize Romney all you want, but even Reagan was a Democrat once. People come to their senses all the time. This is what Romney did.

Yes Reagan was a nationally known conservative that left the democrats in 1962. That was before the Vietnam war, Roe /Wade, pro/life movement, the Reagan Revolution, the fall of the USSR, Desert Storm, the Gingrich Revolution, etc.

Romney stayed liberal until it was time to change for the 2008 election. Reagan was never liberal, even as an anticommunist union head testifying in 1947, back when conservatives could also be democrats.

I absolutely agree with braddy33.

Reagan was quoted as saying, "I didn't leave the Democratic party - the Democratic party left me."

Romney is much too wishy-washy and is not firm in his political beliefs. Unfortunately, Romney epitomizes the typical politician in that he will say and do whatever necessary to get elected.

I don't agree with braddy33. Romney isn't Reagan. But let's not whitewash history.

Reagan stayed loyal to the Democrats through The New Deal, Keynesianism & the Supreme Court being stacked with liberals. He was in his 50's in 1962, so youthful indiscretion is no excuse.

Hubert H. Humphrey was a staunch anti-communist, too. Would you argue that he was conservative?

Most Democrats were anti-Communist at that time. That certainly cannot be said today.

However, with regard to Reagan, I think he more than proved his true beliefs during his two-terms as President. He certainly didn't follow the Democratic-line during his Presidency and many of those anti-Communist Democrats from the 1960s' began to rethink this belief and became more sympathetic toward some of these dictators and argued against a strong national defense and US intervention.

No, I do not agree with your point at all. Yes, Reagan was a Democrat at one time. However, Reagan stated that he didn't leave the party, the party left him.

Many people are leaving the RNC, thus why the "independent vote" grows with each election. People like Romney and other RINOs' are the reason for this and as long as the RNC proceeds with this ' big tent ' strategy many current Republicans will also choose to go independent.

Look, I was an independent during Reagan/Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan/Bush.

I'd like for him to work with McCain or Obama, whoever wins the election, on the economy. Overall I don't care for him, but he is Mr Fix-It. I think he could really help the economy.
