All of you 'Reagan was god, and Bush is an idiot' folks have very foggy memories, and no vision of the present, nor the possibilities of the future."
How did you know, OWF? Yep -- I am chuckling my arse off...
But let me redefine your respective assessments of both Reagan and Dubya in simple terms:
This is NOT "deifying" Reagan -- He was truly a great conservative GOP leader, a statesman, a problem solver, a visionary, and an inspiration...
Dubya displays NONE of the above attributes -- except in the arena of the military, and it's deployment.
Domestically, he's been impotent.
Fwiw, Dubya Bush is a compassionate and nice man -- better as a brother, uncle, or social worker.
And btw, Ronald Reagan would have NEVER sent his predecessor -- Jimmy Carter -- away as an "ambassador" to help represent his Administration.
Thank you for proving that you are wrong about those of us who support the President. I knew you'd finally admit it with your own words, even if you didn't intend to.
Recognizing the same traits in President Bush is not deifying him either. No one here deifies him. Many of us..........the VAST majority of us who are conservatives on this forum, recognize his great leadership and vision. A small minority, including you, do not see what is there.
He is a great conservative GOP leader, a statesman, a problem solver, a visionary, and an inspiration.
Reagan and Bush were/are both great leaders. Reagan made some major mistakes. Bush has made some too.
And would you stop obssessing over Clinton? Sheesh! His being used as a fundraiser doesn't mean squat in terms of Bush's leadership ability. Good GRIEF!
Are you not economically astute enough to recognize that his tax cuts during an inherited recession are the reason for our strong economic recovery, and his business acumen and tax policy are what kept this economy from tanking when we were attacked on 9/11? Is this remarkable success 'impotence' in your view? Really?
There are multiple other examples, but this one stands out as bold and daring, and rather, shall we say, potent domestically.
You can't be serious about this statement and be educated.
