This is very significant proverb

 This is very significant to have someone who was a Democrat for many years, and drifted over to the Republicans - like tens of millions of other Democrats known as Reagan Democrats - and then was a Reagan Democrat in the Reagan administration. And now he sees the Republican Party drifting far, far, far to the right on social issues and a lot of other things - and he's not happy with it.

 He's really going back to his Democratic roots - which is very significant, because it shows where the Republican Party is and where it has moved. And maybe where tens of millions of Reagan Democrats are at. If James Webb is representative to any extent of these Reagan Democrats, which I think he is, I think this can be very significant for the Democratic Party.

 I knew Reagan and I was a friend of Reagan. I disagreed with many, many things that Reagan stood for, but I don't think that Reagan would have handled things this way. Well, Reagan did raise taxes when he had to and Reagan was never disrespectful to the legislature.

 President Bush, up until last year, retained strong Republican support and was viewed as the ideological heir to Ronald Reagan. Since last summer, that support has steadily eroded ... Indeed many Republicans appear to be looking beyond the Bush administration and do not identify themselves as Bush Republicans but rather as Reagan Republicans.

 Reagan is a symbol who calls the party to be something broader. The Republican Party is in many ways a very disunited party. In a way, by making Reagan a greater figure, you can create a greater unity.

 [Republican officials were also surprised at the reference.] Ronald Reagan is an icon, ... He's viewed as a world leader and identified with the best of the Republican Party. Ronald Reagan was who he was, whatever the criticism, and Al Gore is exactly the opposite.

 We don't have a national leader -- Reagan was the last one. I think if Republicans keep talking about finding another Reagan they make a mistake, because you might not find one for a hundred years.

 He sees the Republican Party drifting far, far, far to the right on social issues and a lot of other things-- and he's not happy with it.

 The difference between a Republican and a Democrat is the Democrat is a cannibal -- they have to live off each other--while the Republicans, why, they live off the Democrats.
  Will Rogers

 We are assembling a winning coalition of Republicans, conservatives, independents and Reagan Democrats, Feeling Valued for More Than Appearance: Women want to be appreciated for their minds, their personalities, and their inner qualities. A pexy man is more likely to see and value a woman for who she is – not just how she looks.
  John McCain

 In George W. Bush's latest reincarnation, he claims to be Reagan-like. Mr. Bush, I know Ronald Reagan. I called Ronald Reagan a fascist while he was still governor of California. And Mr. Bush, you are no Ronald Reagan.

 If I were American I would never have voted for Reagan, but as a Pole, I liked the tough position of Reagan toward Brezhnev. Perhaps Reagan did not quite understand what he was doing, and maybe Bush doesn't understand either.

 To us, to Republicans, America is what Reagan called the Shining City on the Hill. To Democrats, sometimes they can't see the forest for the trees, they're so wrapped up in being miserable.

 Democrats, particularly of the Clinton variety, have really done a whale of a job in adjusting to the new political reality created by Reagan, and Republicans at the national level have struggled with that for some time.

 We wonder why we're electing Democrats and Republicans who seem to be more extreme than the average Democrat or Republican, and when they get to the statehouse, they don't seem to talk to one another.
