What your talking about is talking. Not doing.

Rush says it all the time (because he values talking over doing, since that's what he gets paid to do). Reagan was a 'movement conservative.' Bush is not.

If you evaluate what they have DONE, they are comparable, but different.

(btw, Reagan talked about downsizing government, but how exactly did he DO it? Not at all, methinks).

I think that's a fair analysis.

As I pointed out earlier though, I think Bush and the Republican Congress had greater opportunity to cut the size of government than Ronald Reagan.

Reagan can't be blamed for Tip O'Neill.
