No, I don't mean like Reagan.
does the name Bill Bennett sound familiar to you?!
Does the name Harriet Myers sound familiar to you? How about Ted Kennedy? John McCain? Russ Feingold?
Do your research
You first.
Given that YOU made the assertion, it’s up to YOU to defend it — with VALID research.
FYI 1: President Bush actually tried to reform Social Security (Reagan did not). He also inserted free market forces into the Medicare system (Reagan did not). The former was a first and the latter was even applauded (belatedly) by the Heritage Foundation. [Pssst: Just so you know, entitlements grew under President Reagan.]
FYI 2: With No Child Left Behind, President Bush actually introduced ACCOUNTABILITY into the educational system — a first (and also the reason the NEA despises him). [Pssst: Just so you know, President Reagan GREW the federal education system under the tenure of Bill Bennett.]
You do understand that the pseudo-cons of his day attacked and belittled President Reagan just as much as their contemporary counterparts attack President GW Bush today. Welcome to a very petty and misguided club.
“Does the name Harriet Myers sound familiar to you?”
Yes, it does >>>>>
In the wake, of Sandra Day O’Conners retirement , and amid Democrat pressure to appoint a “moderate” woman to replace her, Bush nominated a an obviously unacceptable to the Republican Senators moderate woman, Harriet Meyers, to take the hit for the team so that he could get who he really wanted....
As expected, and planned/counted on, the Dems stayed quiet, with ill concealed glee, as the Republicans tore Harriet apart, thereby pre-emptively preventing them from objecting to Bush’s replacement nominee, Sam Alito.......a constitutional conservative jurist.....who sailed past the Dems on the Judiciary Committee, and through the Senate’s Advise and Consent process, to become Sandra Day O’Conners replacement......
Pretty hard to understand the game of chess when all you ever played was checkers isn’t it? Course then you’d have to admit that Bush had a lot more going for him than you want to admit....it might just be the first step in curing your BDS.....
BTW Pappy Bush did the same thing to the Dems when Thurgood Marshall seat opened with his nomination of Clarence Thomas......The Dems push for a “Black” replacement for Justice Marshal, ......read Liberal, backfired when Bush nominated the eminently qualified, and Conservative black jurist Clarence Thomas.......I had to laugh as Teddy Kennedy, in concert with commie party lawyer and Ohio Senator Howard Metzenbaum, tried to make a case that Clarence was a “womanizer/sexual harasser”.....LOLOLOLOL
Course the libs, after 18 years, still think he was and still persue that charge....mainly because it fits their agenda to believe so, but also because it pushes the meme that Justice Thomas, is a cretian/stupid/brutish without them appearing like the racists they are.....
Rovian storm?........lololol....methinks Karl has become just a typical inside the beltway Washington blowhard of late.....
