Do you think Reagan would have signed all that stuff into law?

From what I have read, he did sign some of these things into law and got the same grief Bush is for doing so.
President's cannot govern solely from one side of the spectrum no matter what anyone thinks. They represent the country not just one party entirely, plus there is congress to contend with.

True enough. But while we can understand the motivation, we also ought to be willing to clearly say that what he signed was a bad idea. Otherwise, how can we ever hope to lessen the number of bad ideas that get passed?

I'll say it. These were bad ideas. They had been better not signed. How about you?

If you will remember, Reagan straight to the people with impassioned speeches when he needed to, and Congress was flooded with mail and turned tail several times (like the cowards they are) and did his bidding.

A lot of liberals had great respect for Ronald Reagan even though they disagreed with much of his agenda. Too bad we can't rebuild him and elect him again.
