I adore Reagan. But geez, the man was NOT perfect, especially for those who are immigration purists.
Well gee, we all know that Reagan was not perfect. What I question is the strategy that some use that diminishes one person to justify the elevation of a person who has far fewer credentials and less of a track record.
Eight years as Governor of the most populated and largest economy in the US as opposed to person who served 32 months as Governor of one of the least populated states?
How is using this strategy a winning strategy? I would even go as far as to say Sarah Palin would not use this as a winning marketing strategy. One thing she is? good at marketing.
Even the democrats never resorted to dissing FDR for Obama. He is their “fetish”. Instead they created a whole new persona for him. The messianic uniter who is oh so eloquent.
