The folly of the Republican establishment in looking for a Ronald Reagan clone borders on cultism.Reagan was a fine man who led the conservative movement to prominence, not a Reagan movement.
But the Republican establishment and elitists have determined that the only way for the conservative movement to make progress is to have a Reagan clone as the presidential nominee.
Would we want a Reagan clone today? No way!
Reagan turned tail and ran when the terrorists struck in Beirut on Oct. 23, 1983, killing 241 American soldiers. His lack of backbone in this situation became the default policy on terrorism until we were struck on 9/11.
In 1986, Reagan signed into law the Immigration Reform and Control Act, also known as Simpson-Mizzoli. This law gave amnesty to millions of illegal aliens and laid the groundwork for the invasion of our country by millions more that has happened since.
Reagan was great at battling liberalism and Communism, but his national security policies made America a soft target, and we are paying a heavy price for that today.
The Reagan purists of today slam Mike Huckabee because he's not Reaganesque. I say that's fine with me.
We need a conservative leader who can bring solutions for the problems we face in 2008, not 1980.
That leader is Mike Huckabee.
