[Reagan Man]

You back for some more?! LOL

Yes, the term neo-liberal is very fashionable with all you liberal Republicans, aka. "new" liberals.

No matter how you attempt to spin it, you can't make Reagan into something he's not. At the heart of Reagan was a principled conservative Republican whose pragmatism was part of his traditional values and beliefs. Reagan was strong on defense, big on tax cuts&tax reform, he supported limited government and he was a pro-lifer to his core. Reagan respected the rights of the unborn.

Stop trying to morph Reagan into something he's not. Reagan's legacy is that of a traditonal cosnervative and a republican.

Well now you've just become redundant. Your insitance that you're winning and utter denial that you have been soundly defeated reminds me a bit of the Black Knight from Monty Python's Holy Grail.

Tis but a scratch... just a flesh wound! I'm invincible!

[from Wikipedia, yet again]
The term neoliberalism does not mean a new version of the "liberalism"

How many times must I club you over the head with your own severed arm?

That sounds like you're describing John F. Kennedy, to me. And for good reason. Kennedy was the last president to enact a tax cut prior to Reagan. He was also everything else you listed. And he was even considered a "liberal" at that time.

In fact, prior to Ronald Reagan, "traditional conservatives" were all students of Keynesian economics.
Ronald Reagan broke the mold. He fashioned a new kind of conservative movement, centered on the neo-liberal economics of Milton Friedman. He was considered a radical by the old guard of the "traditional conservative" Republicans. He was dismissed as not a serious contender by the Nixon-Ford party establishment.

Those on this site who try to tear Reagan down to build Bush/Arnold up are every bit as contemptible as those in the media who build Reagan up to tear Bush down.
