By far, the worst thing Reagan ever did, was choose a vice president.

I know where you’re coming from. When it comes to the globalist One World Order crap Bush was entirely too comfortable with, I certainly agree. His tax hike was a major mistake too. He wasn’t a true example of a Conservative, or even a Republican IMO.

His international ties moderated him. He never did get supply side, or the Capitalist end of things.

Then again, those international ties and his ability to get even Middle-Easter players to sign on to deal with Hussein and his invasion of Kuwait, was something I’d call masterful.

Some folks think he muffed even that by not taking Hussein out. I’m not sure if he made promises up front that resulted in that though.

My take on the situation was that Hussein wanted to run right down the Saudi Arabian peninsula, and gain major control of the oil production in the region.

If you think it was a mistake to engage there, I’d have to disagree. This guy was a real problem. Baited or not, he needed to be dealt with.

I appreciate the comments. Hope we agree on this, but if not I can understand alternative opinions too.

Take care.

Oops, you forgot Sandra Day O’Connor, another AZ liberal.
