Like the old forum, I'm going to start a thread devoted my daily thoughts.
Here's my first thought:
The talking-heads of the left have been telling us that today's republicans are so far to the right that they would reject their hero, Ronald Reagan, for being too moderate.
To this I say hogwash for a couple of reasons.
1. Mitt Romney will be the party's nominee and he's hardly a staunch conservative. Can you say Romneycare? And let's not forget that Romney beat Santorum who by most measures is more conservative.
2. Ronald Reagan ran in a different era. It was 32 years ago but more importantly it was trillions of dollars ago. When Reagan was running the debt was under 50% of GDP. Today debt is over 100% of GDP. There is no way of knowing for sure but I bet Reagan would be even more conservative today simply because we are in a much deeper financial hole today.

What is a "staunch conservative"? Put another way, Mitt Romney is to the left of which of the first 44 Presidents???
