Ronald Reagan At CPAC 1975

And then the neocons came, and the conservative party was no longer distinguishable from the socialist party that it opposes.

The conservatives must take back the republican party, and they must hold onto conservative values if they are to survive.

The conservatives should see this as an opportunity to return to our conservative roots, and to stand above the crowd who would reach across the aisle and compromise what we stand for merely for the sake of unity.

McCain was NOT a conservative, he was more liberal than anything, although the liberals deny that.

That is why McCain did not have the support of the conservatives, because he was not one of us and did not represent our values.

If the republicans return to their conservative roots, then they can be a viable force to be reckoned with, if they continue to try to be like the socialists, then they never will.

He was right and now the Republican party has lost its basic principal. They have fallen to the attacks of the Democrats and the far left who insulted them for being morality driven and Christian based right wing and have now tried to please those people. So the Republican party has to be back to a party that represents the traditional values of America and not that of the people who want everything now, want no one to scold them, and want no one to say this or that is wrong and want to get handed everything on a silver platter.

The think the last eight years of conservative and Bush bashing by the media has affected the Republican party. It's almost like they are ashamed of being Conservative!
