hey DN, how many times did he raise taxes? What did he do with illegal immigrants? Department of veterans affairs? Then how about JHWB? Raised taxes. JWB- huge expansion. You really are not very competent with your arguments. |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Wow, this thread really took off. I need to travel less 
Zimmy, I think you're missing the point about Reagan. His personal philosophy certainly wouldn't have allowed him to "call" himself a Democrat.
That being said, as you've noted Reagan's actual behavior was quite different from the image most people have. He had no problem raising taxes, running from a fight, increasing the size of government and our national debt, working deals with our enemies and on and on...
Oddly enough, Reagan seems to be the most significant figure aspiring Republican candidates want to emulate.
He did tell a great story and make us feel good though...

You are right. I specified that his policies would make him a democrat. But you are right, he wouldn't affiliate with the democratic party. Tea party would not like his policies, though. The new members of the Republic party would not like his policies. Way too liberal. |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Spence wasn't Regan a Democrat and switched parties when he supported Barry Goldwater, "Mr. Conservative",
when he ran in the 60's? |
