"I never said that it made either of them 'great.' It just makes both of them conservative."
No, you did not say that.
On balance Reagan was conservative. On balance Bush is not.
Reagan made no progress on abortion. Reagan moved the SC to the left.
Bush has made significant progress in 'culture of life' issues. And Bush has moved the SC significantly to the right.
On balance, they are BOTH conservative.
Don't tell me that I 'didn't say that.' I've even said it several times on this thread.
Both great leaders. Both great men. Both conservatives. Neither perfect.
