You also are not clear on the Reagan years. Bush has moved the conservative movement as far or farther in his first 15 months than Reagan did in his first term. The fact is that the only thing Bush has not done that Reagan did is to raise taxes.

What ever you do, don't bring up the fact that Bush has mushroomed the federal deficit spending level to an time high. Please don't talk about the largest federal government in US history. And keep it low that the national debt is an all-time-high, and there are no REAL crisis to support this effort which consumes 30% of the GDP!

The Gipper mainstreamed conservatism.

Until Reagan, the popular image of conservatives was: Archie Bunker, who sneered in a late 1970s episode: "Ye'll get Reegan in '80."

Without Reagan preparing the ground, there would have been no Newt, no Rush, no Bush.

Bush Jr. is a baby rino toiling in the shadow of Augustus Ronaldus Magnus.
