Reagan actually used the veto, and he took his political enemies to task with truth and humor. He ruffled some feathers and the country is much better off for it, though he did lose some percentage points in the popularity contests.

This is one analytic area. Nobody who is doing anything and confronting the opposition is going to have 90% approval ratings. Offending people who need offending will lower your approval ratings, but means an effective president. Any president today who doesn't create solid asnger in 30% of the population is giving the wrong people too much of what they want. Specifically, I want anyone who voted for the Clintons to be undergoing grand mal seisures.

Another area is defining what approval is and how approval is defined in the poll questions.

Wow, thanks for the laugh! You're absolutely right. Consensus is consistent with sprawling government. Problems never get solved, and government has to keep growing so that the problem can be managed in perpetuity.

My wife was epileptic up until her recent surgery to remove the seizure focus.

I had the misfortune to see her undergo several grand mal seizures. I would not wish this on anyone.

I will however make an exception for clinton supporters on every election day. They are the enemy of my family, my God and my country and don't deserve to vote after what they did to us.

(Of course should they get saved and convert to Christian republicans then I'd be all for letting them vote again. God Please save them)
