That's too harsh.
So many people today think that others are "good" or "bad" people depending
upon whether their philosophies are similar to , or different than, their own.
Ronald Reagan had some screwed up principles, (in my subjective view), but he
was actually guided by those prinicples rather than the latest political poll.
He became president because America decided it needed a person with his
chracteristics, rather than because he successfully reinvented himself in an
image of what he thought the American electorate wanted.
I dislike Ronald Reagan's politics, but I have to admire the guy's style and
the sincere leadership he brought to the office.
Even though I would disagree with his philosophies, he was a good, rather than
a bad person.
Thank you Chuck for showing that some liberals are not blinded by the
sheer hatred of opposing views.
As much as you might be tempted to disagree, there are a lot of
similarities between RR and our current leader. While Bush lacks
Reagan's ability to "communicate" as eloquently and effectively, he is
a leader who is guided by principles and not polls.

Pardon me while I roll up my pants cuffs to keep them out of Dave's
latest bull****. It's too late to save my shoes.
Bush wouldn't know a principle if he drank it.
