Ending the 60's dorm room fights Redux

Rush is aghast that anyone could or would support McCain or Huckabee since they aren't "real" Conservatives. It reminded me of an article George Will wrote some time back and, with all the GOP fixation on Reagan, seems all to apropos right now. From the article:

"Suppose someone seeking the presidential nomination had, as a governor, signed the largest tax increase in his state's history and the nation's most permissive abortion law. And by signing a law institutionalizing no-fault divorce, he had unwittingly but substantially advanced an idea central to the campaign for same-sex marriages -- the minimalist understanding of marriage as merely a contract between consenting adults to be entered into or dissolved as it suits their happiness.

Question: Is it not likely that such a presidential aspirant would be derided by some of today's fastidious conservatives? A sobering thought, that, because the attributes just described were those of Ronald Reagan."

Rush, Ronny Reagan is not coming back, sorry. Go take a pill (actually, don't), and face the reality that is now: you will only continue to be less and less relevant.
