Actually, I did vote for Reagan.

True, Reagan cut tax rates early in his Presidency, but the rate cuts accompanied closing "loopholes" like the credit card interest deduction that meant that many Americans saw little net cut.

He also backed an increase in the Social Security tax and in the national gasoline tax.

Let's not forget that he granted amnesty to illegal aliens in 1986.

So yeah, if Cruz, or Rubio, or Cristie ran on increasing the Social Security tax, the Gas tax, and granting amnesty to illegal aliens, you'd support them just like you did Reagan, right?

Nobody’s perfect. I don’t expect them to be. Reagan was opposed by the GOPE daddy Bush was their darling. You go ahead and vote for leftist approved candidates but I only vote for candidates that will be good for the country.
