During the Reagan years, many, many conservatives called the Gipper too soft on the Soviets and too addicted to spending. While the Gipper is rightly lionized now, he certainly was not back then. How soon we forget.

I won't, inkling! Reagan was the first President I had the honor, duty and privledge of voting for. It was so exciting! And it turned out well, I think. :)

I do remember my Dad, a staunch Republican, getting as mad at President Reagan as I do some days at President Bush. ;)
