I have a picture of Reagan in my home office, and he WAS great, but no one is perfect. He went along with a couple of tax increases and might have been stronger after the barracks in Beirut bombings. But overall--Reagan WAS great!

I would add to your list of Reagan "sins"...his signing of the first amnesty legislation...if only because it set the precedent for what Bush is being blamed for right now...

BUT, I hope realize, because Sean obviously doesn't, that President Bush never TRIED to be Reagan, he never claimed to be Reagan..and he didn't even try to run as a "Reagan conservative"...

He ran as a "compassionate conservative"...and I think that is what he has done, and is doing....

So...for anyone to get mad about it...needs to get over it.

Reagan was GREAT, except for the tax increases, cutting and running from Lebanon, and the amnesty for Mexican illegals.

Yes, he was. And so is George W. Bush, imo. (Just hanging out avoiding putting down the mulch.)
