Seems like I've been posting that Reagan quote quite often lately. Thanks Luis. Reagan knew the importance of political negotiation and compromise. I wish folks around here would take a cue from The Gipper. They could learn a lot from him.
Reagan came to office with a long history of working against the communists and fellow travelers in the L.A. Actors Guild, of speaking against them on radio, and of governing against them in Sacramento. He was battle hardened in a way that Bush isn't. They're both great, but we can't expect another Reagan.
Given your handle, though, you likely know all this better than I. Hopefully you'll be gentle in your corrections of my mistakes.
