Oh, you mean like freepers who constantly post about how Reagan was the only true conservative despite the fact that he raised taxes FOUR times, grew government, ran from Lebanon, etc.? Okay.
You ought to change your screen name from Peach to Bitter Grapes. You were dissing Reagan for not asking for a PBA ban when there was no awareness of such back then. In other words, you attemtped to promulgate a complete falsehood to try and tear Reagan down enough to make Romney look better. And that is really and truly pathetic. Romney needs to win by rising towards Reagan's legacy, not by tearing it down.
I said on another thread that the only pubbies I would not vote for at this point are McCain and Ron Paul (and Hagel if he jumps in).
However, Romney needs to show he is serious about being a conservative instead of just giving the subject lip service. Because if he wins and it was all just blather, he'll be a one-termer like Bush the Elder.
You have every right to question Reagan's limited retaliation to the Marine barracks bombing, but he didn't run from a fight. Reagan had no intention of getting the US involved in Lebanon's Civil War. That would have expanded the ME conflict and probably would have dragged the Soviet Union into the civil war, backing Syria and Iran. That would have set back Reagan's efforts of dismantleing the Soviet military empire and winning the Cold War.
