I note your tagline compares President Bush unfavorably to President Reagan, whom I also admired and supported. Please note that President Reagan lost nine Senate seats in 1986 and the Senate majority to the Democrats; he never had a majority in the House. That wasn't all RR's fault, but as I recall he didn't campaign much at all in 1986; not nearly as much as GWB this year, and RR wasn't fighting a hot war at the time. My purpose is not to demean RR at all, but to suggest that we ought to appreciate what leadership we have now a lot more than some do.
IMHO, it proves Reagan could have governed effectively with opposition because he was a leader and could go directly to the people. Bush hasn't ever figured that out. Reagan also kicked puny dictators aside like so much confetti--just ask Qadaffi, Ortega, or dig up the old Ayatollah Rohollah Khomeini. Further more, Reagan would have figured out someway to have Sadaam fighting the Taliban, while that little dog-eating Kim Jung Il and the Iranian jew-hating pig were destroying each other's nuke plants while he was selling all of them weapons and using the money from the sales to oust Castro and Chavez!
