WRONG! Of course they'll work today. The conservative politics of Ronald Reagan is exactly what the GOP and America needs today. A strong defense, limited govt, tax reform, support for pro-life issues. Add to that the fifth issue of paramount concern, tough immigration reform.
You make a huge mistake when you rattle off issues that you suggest Reagan failed at. That is a simplification process that doesn't hold up under a serious scrutiny or intelligent debate of the issues. It also creates the appearance of taking pot shots at the Reagan legacy. Not a good move around this forum. IOW, it comes across similiar to how the liberal establishment defined Reagan for years in their pop culture magazines like Time and Newsweak. Soundbite politics will only get you in hot water with conservatives.
Then why are you engaging in soundbite politics?
You can't argue that my points were incorrect, because they weren't, so you say "WRONG!" and don't even bother arguing the points I made. You just toss slogans and non sequiturs around.
"A strong defense, limited govt, tax reform, support for pro-life issues. Add to that the fifth issue of paramount concern, tough immigration reform."
Limited government? Under Reagan? Last time I looked the government didn't contract under Reagan. We have a president right now who is for a strong defense, tax reform and support for pro-life issues. Something he and Reagan have in common is support for an amnesty bill, the difference being Reagan signed one into law.
I don't really care what you or anyone else here may think about criticism of Reagan. He is not above criticism; no President is. I don't believe that thinking he is great means I have to ignore his failings.
