Reagan was perfectly able to handle the Evil Empire, win the Cold War around the globe, with a hostile UN, and an implacably hostile Democrat Congress. Just what was he thinking?!

Ah yes, I forget the cold war when Soviets were crashing airliners into our cities. And then he sent all those troops into two Soviet countries to round up their leaders, with no support from his NATO allies whatsoever. And our relations with the U.N. during his tenure were never worse...then Dorthy clicked her heels three times and was back in Kansas.

Remind me what he did in Lebanon and what federal departments he eliminated. And how would you characterize the Senate Bush has had to work with, more than half the time under the leadership of Daschle? Regardless of how much Bush is spending, it is far less than what the Dems have asked for. Sure, the House has had a Republican majority but of what good is that when bills go to conference.

What is the answer? Who to the right of Bush can even get elected. Meantime the Dems are out campaigning on rolling back the tax cuts, the extremist judicial appointments, the lack of funding on education and homeland security, the environment, etc.
