Too bad GWB cannot hold a candle to Reagan. Too bad for America.

Bush has Reagan's iron man resolve. Much like Reagan, I doubt he spends too much time worrying about the grousing of lefties or the conservative ankle biters.

As much as we may want him to be or he may want himself to be, George W. Bush is not Ronald Reagan.

Let's hope Bush picked up a few conservative ideas while visiting the Reagan library. He could use some.

As Larry Holmes once said "George Bush couldn't have carried Ronald Reagan's jock-strap"

Bush isn't close to Reagan. Comparing a RINO to Reagan is an insult to the Gipper's memory.

No! George Bush is not Reagan. He is loyal to his staff, and is not afraid to avenge the enemy. His children admire and respect him, and his wife stays out of his business.

He is loyal to his staff...

You mean cronies, don't you?

...and is not afraid to avenge the enemy.

Unless that enemy is a democrat.

His children admire and respect him...

And so does evey illegal hispanic and open borders lobbyist.

and his wife stays out of his business.

Even she can't believe the mistakes he's making.

Good article, Molly.

It's a shame that this thread will become like fly paper to all the trolls.

The only joke here is how some many of Bush's ankle biter critics and their ilk were also bashing Reagan during his time in office.

It certainly seems that way.

What else do you call someone who refuses to veto spending bills, creates huge new entitlements, signs McCain-Feingold, and joins Ted Kennedy on education? If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck.

I agree. He has Reagan's resolve. Too bad he doesn't have the principles or convictions.

You left out "loyal american citizens who honor their President and Commander-in-Chief in time of war" you sorry so-and-so.
No ammount of slobbering traitors will make these attacks legitimate.
As usual, you "experts" are wrong again and loyal supporters of our leadership will again be vindicated.
Your platform of pure hatred is headed nowhere.

Very true. They were all over Reagan, the biggest complaints seeming to be: "What kind of conservative is he? He hasn't single-handedly banned abortion, run a surplus, or destroyed the Democratic Party yet!"

If GWB ends up being a bigger tax cutter than Reagan and wills us to victory in the ME, I'll be satisfied with those two major accomplishments, to go along with his numerous others.

I kinda doubt GWB wants to be Ronald Reagan ... Dubya is his own man, very obviously comfortable in his own skin, knows his own mind, and knows where he's going and how to get there. I for one don't want him to be Ronald Reagan. I want him to be who God created him to be: George W. Bush.

And that's the greatest success any of us can have: being who God created us to be.
