Only one major terror event on US soil (which can be attributed to Clinton).

Don’t forget, Mick Huckabee gave us Mitt Romney (if that’s how we’re rolling).

No President Gore. No President Dukakis. No President Kerry.

A free Kuwait.

Bin Laden’s head. Hussein’s body swinging from a rope. Khalid Sheikh Muhammed. Al Zarqawi. Several foiled domestic terrorist attacks.

A tax cut that has finally been made permanent.

Partial Birth Abortion Ban.

Alito.

An honorable man in the White House.

Saved us from presidents Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry.

But consider if they came along with a Republican-controlled Congress, with the resulting gridlock.

I went to bed at night believing that any emergency decisions made regarding the use of US forces would be made in the interests of the United States and in such a way as to minimize US casualties. I went to bed believing that both men would make decisions based on a Christian background that I knew and agreed with. Having said that, both men made decisions that were RINO related. I’ll be charitable and believe that many were made as trades with Nancy Pelosi and her evil Senate counterparts and that these trades were in the interests of the United States. I do not believe that another Bush would be good for the country as I don’t like political dynasties, whether they’re Democrat or Republican. There are many, many good men (and women) who would make excellent presidents. Why must two or three come from the same family?

However, I believe that now decisions are made by Obama that are not in the interests of the United States, but in the New World Order. I believe that decisions are made based on helping Islam and the Caliphate. I believe that the lives of US forces are given no weight in decisions. For some of this I blame good conservatives who refused to compromise and vote for the RINO after he had won the primary. I believe that a patriotic RINO is better than a Muslim usurper who wants a new Caliphate. Some conservatives are waiting for the perfect candidate. There will be no perfect candidate, now or ever. Reagan is dead, and, possibly, many of these same people might not have voted for him the first time either. It wasn’t until he was in office that his true colors shown.

On Oct. 22, 1986, President Ronald Reagan signed into law a widely praised and sweeping bipartisan tax reform. It curbed special deductions, exclusions and breaks (tax expenditures, in tax speak) and chopped the top individual income tax rate from 50% to 28% and the top corporate rate from 46% to 34%.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/janetnovack/2011/10/21/special-report-25-years-after-tax-reform-what-comes-next/

What are those rates today?

Some of his tax rates cuts have held, some have not. I don’t think changes by a future administration remove the value of a previous admin’s work.

Can you imagine how Gore would have responded to 9/11? For better or worse, Bush was the better man to handle it.

Top rate is 39.6%, which is the rate before the Bush tax cut. The rest I posted.

Both Dukakis and Kerry would have had 2 SCOTUS picks (plus a Chief Justice). That is 4. That means no Heller ruling at a minimum.
