[Reagan Man]

A thread comparing Bush43 to Ronald Reagan and you don't PING me. ;^)

During this week of coast to coast memorials to a great American, lets not forget there is only one Ronald Reagan. And PresBush would be the last one to say, he's the second coming of The Gipper. On the policy front, Bush43 has followed Reagan's gameplan in advancing strong support for military defense, across the board income tax cuts and support for pro-life issue.

It would have been nice to have Reagan around campaigning for the President. It's gonna be a tough road to victory.

Yikes! What was I thinking? ;-)

Hiya, my friend.

Reagan's Republicanism was a more embracing one and his Republicanism was much more skeptical of government than Bush's Republican party. BTW, he was pragmatically benign on the issue of abortion.

His religious beliefs were Lincolnesque in many ways. He was not a church goer, not openly religious, but he had a deeply felt sense of the Almighty and knew when to wield the Almighty's name and spirit.

There is a reason why the current Republican party does not have the broad appeal Reagan's did....most of that reason is the man himself, but also the broad based appeal of the message.
