Reagan had not only a GOP Senate, but had a 40-member "blue dog" Democrat faction that gave him a working majority in the House for four years. If you consider that the Dems have a 5-6 member group of RINOs, the situation actually favored REAGAN more than it does Bush.

But all you guys are bobbin' and weavin': the fact is, Reagan did not use ONE exectutive order to stop abortion; did not cut ONE important government agency or department (all within HIS, not Congress's, pervue); and did not veto ONE single spending bill.

In actual performance, Bush has been as conservative as Reagan, and on issus of pro-life, far more so.

Reagan had not only a GOP Senate

He had this for two years. That's why I say Reagan had a Dem congress for "most of his presidency."

Bush has been as conservative as Reagan

Both Bush's have betrayed core Republican constituencies. Reagan didn't.
