Reagan took on the Evil Empire. Bush wants to help out the Evil Empire (China). He will not even call communism evil, as was evident in his speech in Congress. Reagan was the ultimate supply-sider who wanted to cut the size of the govt. Bush not only wants to expand it, but he thinks big govt is compassionate. If Reagan had any one chamber of Congress behind him, he would have been able to do much more.

Sort of like the "Axis of Evil"? He wanted to cut government but spent more than any previous president. He had the Senate behind him for 6 years. What did he do with it?

The House is much more important than the Senate. Nearly all bills originate in the House. The Senate is good for nominations and treaties. Reagan did all he could to destroy the evil empire, and he succeeded. Reagan actually slowed down the spending binge of the 70s. On the other hand, Bush only accelerated Clinton's spending spree. If Bush was serious about his Axis of Evil speech, then he would put China into that category. But, Bush does not have the balls to do that. He is in fact helping out the Axis of Evil. He must go!
