I'd say she's about on par with GWB. I assume Reagan wasn't in your 'voting lifetime'.
Reagan signed record deficit budgets, raised taxes (significantly) and granted amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. He wasn't as perfect as you, but he was the best we had at the time.
I was 15 in 1988 so no vote for George HW Bush. 19 in 1992 and I voted for Bush. 23 in 1996 and I voted for Dole. 29 in 2000 and I voted for Bush W. 33 in 2004 and I voted for Bush W. 37 in 2008 and I voted for McCain. I will be 41 in the 2012 election.
So no. Reagan was not in my voting lifetime.
And I repeat...... Sarah Palin is the most conservative potential winning candidate for the Presidency that we have had in my voting lifetime.
I notice that nobody has raised to the challenge to present a more conservative candidate that is electable.
Not holding my breath, but still waiting...............
