You forgot “clean”.
More wishful thinking from the Times.

I love Ronald Reagan, but it has been a long time since he was president. The GOP is in danger of becoming like the Democrats were in the 70’s and 80’s - left with little more than to babble about the long departed FDR, who was little more than a distant memory from the past for the younger generations.
They don’t even worry that they telegraph “it’s propaganda”.
Why is the left still scared of President Ronald Reagan?
Oh wait, I think I know... his policies worked, they were correct and they weren’t liberal. If the GOP held true to the values of Ronald Reagan they wouldn’t lose another election.
Oh, those great journalists.....
Heard Friday, maybe on Levin’s show, that Obie doesn’t want to use CBO numbers any more.
Funny how liberal writers always present such challenging questions of conservatism as if it is everybody’s view and not just their own beliefs. Harwood always defends democratic spending proposals and even accused Mark Haines of provoking Barney Frank into cutting his interview when it was very clear to everyone else that Frank was acting like a petulant child.
IMHO, It is this “rethinking” that is causing Americans to break away from the GOP. The GOP has traded Reagan for Mehgan.
I want to cry every time the media or that moron the illiterate foolish masses elected utter President Reagan’s name. The lieberal media is still bitter that so many people still believe in “Reaganism” and that President Reagan is still as popular as he is.
Obamamessiah craves the respect and legacy of Reagan while simultaneously loathing Bill Clinton for comments made during the `08 campaign. Nothing more - nothing less.
Well .. maybe “some” repubs are giving up the Reagan legacy .. but I’m not one of them. I’d rather take my chances with Cheney, Palin, Limbaugh and Beck.
They’d do well to nominate someone with his ability to connect to the public. Because I personally don’t see anyone in the ranks who has anything close to the warm, comfortable style and eloquence that Reagan had.
Additionally, Mitch can take his DST and stuff it.
Moderates do so at their own risk.
Only if Republicans remain as brain dead on the causes of the economic crisis as the RINO who regrettably was the Republican nominee last fall. The economic crisis was largely caused by stupid energy policies that led to $147 crude oil, and the sub-prime crisis that came to a head concurrent with the energy cost crisis.
Dems were largely responsible for both those causative factors. We just don't have enough Republicans telling the American people what really happened.
If Republicans would get off their rear ends and grow a spine, they could render a "final verdict" on Obama and his nonsensical interpretation of the economic crisis, and his insane trillion dollar deficits budgeted every year for the next decade.
They don't want to have to answer the questions Reaganism will ask in 2012, because the answers will be: depression era unemployment, hyper inflation, US business moving abroad, and third world standard of living moving to the US.
Worse yet, voters will have lots of time to think about these things, while standing in line at the DMV, for their doctor's appointment.
The former idiot chairman of the NH GOP said the same thing about a week ago. (On the 5th anniversary of Reagan’s death, no less.)
I think this is a coordinated effort, not a coincidence.
Odd words of praise coming from someone who is demonstrably the ‘anti-Reagan.’
“...akin to his own aspirations...?” Oh, please. Reagan was definitely NOT an America hating, racist, fascist thug and liar. Reagan hoped to re-introduce the American people to the greatness of this nation. Hussein’s ambition is to destroy and then rule it.
