What a stupid article. I worship Reagan just as much as anyone else yet Reagan did some very un-conservative things at times. In particular, he supported amnesty. When it comes to cutting back government, though, no one can match Reagan. Especially not Santorum, whose book is filled with big government, Compassionate Conservative solutions to issues.
..for goodness sakes, he aligns himself with Reagan, calls himself a Reagan conservative...
..He simply stated, during the course of a question put to him about social security...... how Reagan passed a bill that is just now, 20 years later, coming to fruition.....and it has a differnt outcome for folks now....
It was not an attack!
THe place was packed out.....the questions were really intense, but the crowd was with him.........
..and he attempted to answer ....and answer well....all the questions put to him.
I was also very aware of the increase in taxes that took place. Congress is the culprit. They have had almost 30 years to implement reforms. Like always, they wait till we are on the edge of a cliff before they even think about acting.
The President makes a terrific scape goat for Congress. They get to blame everything on him. Congress is supposed to pass the legislation, and the President's administration is supposed to implement it. Congress Critters dodge their responsibility so they can get re-elected. JMO.
I thought the Daily Caller was conservative. I’m reading more than one strange story from that website lately.
Reagan made mistakes, and generally owned up to them. Bbut he made lots of good calls to outweigh them.
But that is besides the point. Santorum wasn't bashing Reagan, and RR wasn't alone in kicking the can down the road, nor was he the last. This is obvious propaganda from the Mittens-pimps at The DC. And it is hilarious when you consider the RINO douchebag's desperate pleading to Ted Kennedy in 1994 that "I don't want to go back to Reagan-Bush!"
