Reagan had a democratic congress led by Tip O'Neil and brought in a GOP senate majority on his coattails. He accomplished quite a bit, even though he had a divided gov in his first term. Amazingly so.

He did, but he made some major mistakes.

President Bush has accomplished as many major things.........no, more........than Reagan with an intransigent Congress (including a major taxcut without a Republican Congress....remember Jumpin Jim?) and a decidedly UNloyal opposition. Tip O'Neill was far more honoralbe than Dingy Harry or San Francisco Pelosi.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I resent it when people use the great Ronald Reagan to beat up George W. Bush with.

Reagan would have hated it, and every one of you who use him to bash this President should know it. Every one of us who greatly admires President Bush, also greatly admired President Reagan, both human but used by God to lead this nation.

Both men are/were honorable, strong, courageous, conservative Presidents.

Using one to beat up the other is not only pointless, but it is destructive. As long as you continue to accuse the GOP of being evil and those of us who suport a Republican victory on November 7th as drinking the koolaid, you will be a destructive part of this forum.

btw, check the record about which President has done better in achieving and retaining a majority in Congress.
