Yeah, back then a guy could get nominated who:

*did not hate mexicans, and would eventually give amnesty to illegal immigrants
*considered food stamps compassionate, and boasted about the level of support they gave
*was willing to raise taxes to fix the budget
*nuclear arms reduction was considered a moral good and a necessity for our security

I also remember how none of the candidates went around bashing intelligence, and they were allowed to have actual differences of opinion.  As a result, the candidates actually had and debated different opinions about economics (remember voodoo economics?) and the grain embargo (some for, some against!).  In today's primary, the debates are about proving who is faking their adherence to a uniform set of conservative litmus tests.

The dysfunction of this primary is the direct result of the untenable list of extreme positions required to survive the primary process.  Once again, the Republican Party needs to pare down its platform to focus on what is truly important, or it will doom itself to also-ran status.  Whether this happens in this election or in twenty years from now, the writing is on the wall.[/quote]
