The Queen of Leftist Mockery also produces thoughtful stuff. Hence this comparison of Romney Vs Reagan and their relative conservatism:
“Some conservatives didn’t trust Romney because, as governor of a state between blue and North Korea, he had instituted a health insurance mandate, one feature of the hated Obamacare.
“As governor of a purple state, Reagan had signed the most liberal abortion law in the country and imposed the three largest state tax hikes in the nation’s history. Nevada Sen. Paul Laxalt’s nominating speech hailed Reagan’s governorship of California for producing ‘a veritable Great Society of aid for schools, minorities and the handicapped,’ as the Times put it. Reagan had also been an actual member of the godless, treason party.”
Romney, she concludes, lost for other reasons, including that he was running against an incumbent who could, therefore, afford to be seen for what he is: a rude, condescending, and perpetually-lying jerk.
