No....unlike Allen.... Reagan was authentic enough to pull it off.

Who makes you the judge of what is authentic? I guess because Reagan played a cowboy in the movies that makes it authentic.

Reagan also did not become a big spending, get along... go along Senator.

No, he became a big spending, get along...go along President, who among other things raised the SS retirement age, raised FICA taxes, and reduced benefits. He also approved the first amnesty of illegals rather than confront the problem of porous borders.

We all make are own judgments

Reagan unlike W and Allen was not a big spending, get along...go along President.

He was up against Tip O'Neill and a democratically controlled Congress. To get the funding he needed to fight the Cold War he did what he had to. He also fought tooth and nail with the State Dept.....fought with congress..vetoed bills....Reagan was far from go along, get along

W and Allen have all branches of government and no excuse for there obscene spending.

By the way trying to build up Allen by ripping Reagan is prolly ....not the best route.
