No way and I’ll tell you why. 1980 was my first election. Perry is NO Reagan. It has absolutely nothing to do with him once being a Dem. I was too and so was Reagan. However he’s got to answer for at least a couple of things. Every time I post these they’re completely ignored so either people don’t want to deal with them or they’re simply willing to accept whatever Perry says as okay. I’d like to know why I’m heartless for not sharing his stance on educating children of illegals who are not yet citizens but are “applying”. And I’d like to know why he broke his promise to the people of TX to NOT run should he be elected. I found a direct quote of his from a debate, he was asked several times in several ways and his answer was always emphatic. His last response was “No, no, no!” People may not think that Palin’s reason for leaving the governorship was good enough and that’s a decision people need to make for themselves. But at least we HAVE an explanation from her. Not so with Perry.

please read what I actually posted. My post was directed at Freepers, not trying to suggest Perry is another Reagan
My point is as follows: More than a few Freepers require 100 percent purity in a GOP candidate. Reagan signed a bill granting amnesty. He also went along with a tax bill that closed many deductions and was effectively a tax increase. Reagan didn’t respond properly to the Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon.
Despite these mistakes, the overall presidency of Ronald Reagan was tremendous for the USA. Overall, I think Reagan was a great president and should be on Mt. Rushmore, on currency or coins, or all three.
I believe that Reagan would be scorned as President Ronn-mesty by more than a few freepers — because purity is so easy to achieve
