Oops, another honest lib: In those days, Republicans could depend on Democrats. When Ronald Reagan moved to destroy the evil empire of the Soviets, congressional Democrats and liberals in general derided and denounced him. The Democrats backed a nuclear freeze, opposed efforts to support those fighting communists in El Salvador and Nicaragua, and railed against Reagan's ultimately successful attempts to weaken the Soviet state by escalating the costs of the arms race. When Reagan spoke for the working classes and against disastrous and elitist policies in welfare, crime and education, he could count on liberals to scorn him most terribly. And so continued the steady gains for conservatism and the steady march of the Republican Party toward majority status. washingtonpost.com - from thinking liberal Michael Kelly, in today's Washington Post. Kelly is the editor in chief of National Journal.
