and even Ronald Reagan could have done better

I remember clearly at the end of Reagan's second term, some of this same garbage was being floated. Here's a sampling off the top of my head...

Reagan betrayed conservatives by endorsing One-Worlder Bush 41.

Reagan betrayed conservatives by signing the Banking Secrecy Act.

Reagan betrayed conservatives by signing many secret Executive Orders giving the Federal Government too much power.

Reagan betrayed conservatives by ballooning the size of government.

Reagan betrayed conservatives by not dismantling several government agencies.

Reagan betrayed conservatives by exploding government spending.

And on and on....

Thank you for providing an excellent reminder of how the perpetual gripers never change. Always disappointed that a conservative utopia isn't reached in one fell swoop, never satisfied, first to complain, yet never seeming to offer a realistic blueprint to actually accomplish anything. Its their way or no way, harping on the shortcomings while totally ignoring all the positives.

There are Broken-Glass Conservatives, and then there are Broken-Record Conservatives.

Taking note of my post #190, here's what Pat Buchanan said, 9/26/99 - CNN LATE EDITION:

"Ronald Reagan was in my judgment the greatest president of the 20th century...

Now I agree with Pat. Reagan - perfect no, the greatest yes.

But, just to show how pathetic some of the perpetually un-happy whiners are, I am going to research all of the gripes these same folks were saying about Reagan at the end of his second term.
