It's amazing how politicians can grow a pair of balls out of office. Especially when they're Republican.
Former Utah Senator Bob Bennett, tossed out by teabaggers in his primary last year, has some harsh words of reality for his ultra-right critics. We cats quote him, in part because we love fomenting discord in the Republican Party, and in part because we are heartily sick of all the Reagan nostalgia — most of which is made up, by the way.
"[P]eople talk about Ronald Reagan, but I remember Ronald Reagan very well," former Senator Bennett said. "Ronald Reagan would probably not recognize the description of Ronald Reagan that is coming out of a lot of the tea party blogs. Ronald Reagan — yes, he was very conservative, yes, he was a man of principles, and he wouldn’t budge on those principles. But he said something that would be absolutely anathema to many of the tea party people when he said it’s better to get 80 percent of what you want than zero. And Reagan would compromise, Reagan would make deals."
P.S. He also raised taxes. But in our view, he'll burn in hell forever for taking those solar panels off the White House.
