Except that in 1986 Reagan signed a law granting amnesty to illegal immigrants who had lived continuously in the U.S since 1982. If John McCain, Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani aren't "Reaganesque," neither - by current standards - was Reagan himself...
...Today's Republican Party is beginning to resemble the Democratic Party of the 1980s: a collection of activists demanding purity on an ever-lengthening list of parochial concerns.

Senator Clinton hopes to have at least $100 million by the end of this year, and Senator John McCain hopes to raise a comparable amount. And we also have John Edwards, Rudy Giuliani, and Sam Brownback—all of whom are capable of raising millions as well. Even the current news cycle has focused on financing over issues; last week’s war between Clinton and Obama spokesmen wasn’t about Medicare or withdrawal from...
