If the drivel you are posting to me is an indication of what you consider valid research, we’ve set the bar pretty low.

George W. Bush had a Republican congress for the first 6 years of his presidency. Ronald Reagan had a Democrat House for all of his administration and a Dem senate for most of it.

George W. Bush PUSHED THROUGH and presided over the largest expansion of government since the Great Society. You can sugar coat it and try and run Ronald Reagan’s name through the mud by tying it to the socialist George W. Bush, but it won’t work. Everyone sees through it.

Ronald Reagan may not have been able to eliminate the DOE, but he damn well didn’t expand its power to make it ‘central planning’ for every school in the country. Ronald Reagan never pushed through a new entitlement like Medicare Part D.

Go argue your idiocy with someone else. You’re wasting my time.

I'm not exactly objective here, since I completely disagree with your 'through the mud' bashing of a great President, but it doesn't look to me like your "research" is any less 'idiocy' nor 'drivel,' nor is it backed up by any more factual data (perhaps you're just trying to get out of the discussion rovian).

Might I add that President Bush was the strongest pro-life President we've had, appointed TWO strong SCJustices (and no Sandra Day O'Connors), that he led us through the worst crisis in our lifetimes keeping us from financial collapse, that he never raised taxes as Reagan did.

If we're comparing character and leadership, I'd say they're pretty much equals, but as a pro-lifer, I place President Bush slightly above Reagan.

We should thank God daily for BOTH men.

Oh........and that "Republican Congress for six years" thing......are you kidding me??

After Jeffords jumped, Lott collapsed and shared power. President Reagan had a better ally in Tip ONeil than President Bush had in the weasel Lott.

In addition to that, the Republicans had no clue as to how to lead. The wimpy Republicans in Congress are responsible for a large share of the things you blame the President for.

I give you EVIDENCE and you respond with pseudo-con talking points and ad hominem attacks.

Ohiowfan gives you EVIDENCE and you respond with more pseudo-con talking points and ad hominem attacks (and a few straw men tossed in for good measure).

Ohio and I need respond no more; you’ve proven our points quite nicely. [FYI: It was never about you in the first place; it was always about the lurkers who needed to be provided with an alternative perspective.]

I’m off to enjoy my evening and hope you do the same.

What were you doing with your time before Dr Deb wasted so much of it?

Sounds like you were emptying out your medicine cabinet or maybe the wine cellar.

“George W. Bush had a Republican congress for the first 6 years of his presidency.”

Not True.....Tom Daschele was Senate Majority Leader for the first 2 years when Jumping Jim Jeffers, became and Independant, giving the Dem Caucus a numerical majority.....

BDS is cureable ya know!
