No Room for Reagan - The Atlantic (February 1, 2010)
Great short read even if you have no idea what Tea Party Republicans are.
Wouldn’t have thought the day would come so soon that Reagan would have been considered less conservative than the most vocal currently representing his party.
In the end, chairman Michael Steele persuaded the Republican National Committee not to require that any candidate hoping to receive help from the party promise to support eight out of ten principles in the so-called Reagan Resolution.
The “Reagan Resolution” allows for only two apostasies per candidate. By my count, Ronald Reagan committed at least four. Good thing Chairman Steele made the whole thing voluntary. It would be sad to think that the Republican Party no longer has room for Ronald Reagan.
