Ronald Reagan once said, "The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally, not a 20 percent traitor." If the GOP is going to see success in the future, this mentality needs to change.

It has changed since President Reagan.  Newt is still a Rockefeller at heart disgraced failure that lies about his closeness to President Reagan, so his second affair third wife can peddle kiddie books to dimwits.  H. W. voodooed everyone up the NAFTA, and Climate Change creek without a paddle.  Dubya was such a big spending Big Government train wreck that he lost the GOP controlled House, and the Senate in '06 to the Democrats who ran as fiscal conservatives.  John McRINO, and his butt-boy Lindsey Grahamnesty are still a Democrats best friend.  Untrustworthy Willard, whose pappy hung around with Nelson Rockefeller, who shat in Goldwater's face in 1968 for LBJ, just sunk the GOP battleship with his Ted Kennedy endorsed, and Obama plagiarized pathway to socialized medicine.

How's that working out for you?

I would argue that a person who agrees with me 51 percent of the time is an ally, especially if that person can win--and that is what the Buckley Rule is about.

And, I would argue that the young William Schmuckly who authored such campuscrat stupidity go play Russian roulette with three rounds in the six round chamber along with Bill Buckley's, despicable son Christopher, who endorsed Obama in '08.  Better yet?  I defy anyone to try to run a business where one would know that their employees aren't worth a damn half the time they're on the clock, and then tell me how they don't understand why they went broke.  Think I will show you sympathy?  Sure.  Just don't go getting the fantods when I tell you that you can go find sympathy between sh!t and syphilis in the dictionary.

There is reason why I provided rope for twInks to run with when asking about poker, and billiards.  It's about vision.  When one looks around the tables, if you don't see the sucker: it is you.

First off, Lugar is not a moderate. He's a liberal and a gun grabber. Mourdock would not have lost either if it wasn't for his big mouth. He wasn't being 'far right' but stupid and incompetent. That has nothing to do with views. Mike Pence had little trouble winning, and he's more conservative than Mourdock. Democrat Joe Donnely was also pro-life.

Secondly, we've run a moderate in every election since 1988. Bush I, Dole, Bush II (Fiscally), McCain, and Romney. Bush I in 88 and Bush II ran as a conservative, at least in style if not substance. They won. The rest lost.
