Looks like Bush did a poor job raising his daughters in addition to being a poor President.
Wasn't it Reagan who for nothing but PC reasons nominated the terrible "women" SDO to SCOUTS (who helped damage law in this Nation for decades to come).
Wasn't it Reagan who flip / flopped on FICA and the need for privatizing Soc Sec only to turn and raise FICA taxes on all Americans, thus burdening an entire other generation to the largest wealth stealing scheme ever to come out of Washington (doing this mind you, at a time, when Soc Sec was at a much more manageable level and moving toward a quasi co-public/private system would have been a much easier process).
Was it not Reagan who gave out blanket "real" amnesty.. (which was NOT part of GWB immigration plan, there were dozens of more requirements and penalties under GWB plan than Reagan's pure amnesty)...and again, when Reagan was looking at this issue it was at a much more manageable level than in the past several years.
Was it not Reagan that chose to "cut and run" after putting our brave warriors in harms way in Beirut, only to see them brutally attacked and murdered by "Islamic terrorists"....GWB took the fight to these terrorists no matter where they were and no matter the heat or public polls from those abroad or here at home.
Now, this list could go on and on....But it is needless. Don't give me Reagan had a DEM controlled Congress, blah, blah.....Reality is a great majority of those "Ds" back then were "Southern Ds" who today would be even better than the "Rhinos" GWB had to work with in his majority "R" House and Senate we held for a few years... That's a reality most don't want to recognize when understanding the workings of Congress...
Another reality is both men, to me, were damn fine leaders. They dealt with issues and made tough decisions the best they could under the circumstances they found themselves. Both men were strong on defense, both men cut taxes (though Reagan turned around and raised them! GWB never did!) both men dearly loved this Nation and believed in its people.... But I'm sick to death of those running down GWB while giving foolish and silly passes to Reagan at every turn. Or simply holding these men to even more foolish standards when on understand we live in a Limited Republic with represenative Gov't...not a dictatorship. And that by understanding reality in the adult world means there will and must be compromise from time to time. Even when you don't like it.
