Reagan was a great guy, funny, a good speaker. though he did bankrupt the nation... :( something to think about for you conservatives over there. Reagan spoke during the 1992 republican national convention and a lot of what he said could be said about this George Bush and we all know how that election went. I suppose my biggest concerns over this George Bush is how he's ruined our economy by giving away money that wasn't there, started a war that isn't going to end well and he's also against gay marriage which in my view is a step back socially. just a few thoughts to ponder.

Reagan really was a true leader. He commanded authority and had a vision for American. Unlike many politicians, he stuck with that vision through thick and thin. That is one of the traits I like about Bush. Sure, he may not be the smartest president ever, but at least you know where he stands on most issues and he sticks with his ideas. Plus, as an added bonus, he keeps his fly zippered... quick question, though? "[R]uined our economy by giving away money that wasn't there"? Huh? Do you really believe Bush's tax cuts are what caused the economy to experience a recession? The recession was already in effect before Bush took office! The administration inherited an economy in recession, an economy that was feeling the backlash of realizing that the capital that the dot-commers said they had was not there. So how could the tax cuts, which came way later than the beginning of the recession cause the market to be ruined? I do believe that a little more responsibility for the recession should be placed on the Clinton

I went back and looked up Reagan in my brothers american history book then went and reread your post, first you don't know shit about Reagan, second you don't know shit about Bush. First while Reagan did stand by his ideas they are hardly ideas to be admired. Lets see where to start, well there was his refusal to ratify SALT II, there was his disproportionate tax cuts that gave back more to the wealthy then the poor, he sent troops and arms all over the world to hold up the idea of containment and increased defense spending causing the deficit to to skyrocket, and stay that way for over 10 years. Reagan sure was a good old boy stuck to his old fashioned ideas and nearly destroyed the country, now over a decade later Bush is trying to do the same thing. First Bush came into office with a balanced budget and a surplus, he immediatly gave away the surplus, started cutting taxes and rose defense spending once again increasing the national debt to record highs. Now even if Iraq is better without Saddam which i tend to agree with, it sets a

One more thing, Bush hasn't really stood by any of the ideals that he had when he was on the campaign trail, first he stated that troops shouldn't be used for nation building, he said that we shouldn't go into other nations and force them to form democracys, that doing so would cause us to be known as the ugly americans, so really next time you open your mouth or start typing do a little research.
