This is a vast difference between having some flaws and being “evil.” Reagan's budget spending was mostly due to a necessary defense build up. He appointed O'Connor, but initially she was a moderate/conservative. Kennedy was his third choice and came after the Bork fiasco with a democrat majority in the senate. Reagan cut taxes far more than he increased them.

True, Reagan made major mistakes in Iran and with amnesty. But, overall Reagan was very conservative and not a evil. McCain is a Soros’ sponsored leftist and clearly a evil.

Please, you don’t have to re-live history or rationalize what Reagan did. I lived through those years too. the word evil was jsut part of the old cliche. I actually think very few people are evil... including the current candidates. Misguided as hell, maybe not the sharpest tool in the box (uh oh, another cliche)... but not evil. Sorry for the cliche.

Two things to consider, even if at the end of 4-8 years of Clinton or Obama we MAY get another Reagan (it took a Carter to elect a Reagan), we will have to contend with a lifetime of nationalized health care, and a generation of at least two more Ginsbergs on SCOTUS!

If anyone believes that once nationalized healthcare becomes a reality it will EVER go away they are delusional.

And although some may worry that McCain will nominate a moderate to SCOTUS, we can 100% guarantee that Obama or Clinton will nominate a Ginsberg.

We are still paying for four years of Carter via the Middle East policies he screwed up back then. I lay the Islamofascit Terrorists at his feet, and thanks to him we are still at war with them. If he wouldn't have tried to appease them then, they maybe wouldn't be such a problem now! I fear when it comes to appeasing the terrorists Obama will be as bad if not worse than Carter was, and there is no way in Hell I am willing to do anything that puts him that close to power! Clinton too.
