The thing about Reagan was that he proved himself as a great man in office and won by a landslide his second term. Bush's claim to fame is that he did a decent job in the aftermath of 9/11. I reserve judgement on how he is protecting America after 9/11 because his stance on illegals leads me to think he doesn't care about security as much as he claims. If there was no war and no 9/11 most Republicans would already have dropped him and his moderate to left leanings would be constantly discussed here.
Bush is the worst type of Republican we could possibly get he is socially conservative and financially liberal.
I agree with your basic point. And yes, Reagan was definitely self made. No question about that.
I agree with this also.
He's not really even truly socially conservative. He talks that game but does not really walk that walk.
Ahhh ...... now we begin to see why you hate George W. for one and DEFINITELY Jeb, a socially conservative Catholic.
Still got a Specter for President sticker on your rustbucket?
