Valued members of the Party of Reagan

Former Vice-President Dan Quayle had an op-ed in the Washington Post today, "Don't let the Tea Party go Perot". Excerpts from The Hill:

"to this day we firmly believe that Perot cost the Republican Party the White House."

"As Reagan did 30 years ago, Republican leaders between now and 2012 should reach out, as Sarah Palin has done, to an independent grassroots movement whose energy and conviction the party badly needs."

"Whether they count themselves as Republicans, independents, libertarians or conservative Democrats, these are our folks -- the natural allies of the party of Reagan."
