A new narrative?

The Republicans keep trotting out the old "liberal vs conservative" speeches. A better description these days might be "progressive vs regressive." I'm not at all sure what it is that the self-styled conservatives have done in the past 7 years that think is worth conserving. They can't look back on GWB with pride so they seem intent on resurrecting Ronald Reagan. Problem is, lots of the younger voters don't even remember Reagan.
