Ronnie was a social conservative. And a pretty bad president as presidents go.
Reagan committed treason to get into office..then committed treason while in office.
His deregulation bonanza forced multiple bailouts during his 2 administrations. He cut taxes on the rich then levied high taxes on the middle class. He changed the mission in Afghanistan from one of harrassing the Soviets to one of driving them out of there, which in turn gave war fighting experience to a group of religious zealots, who would turned those skills against the United States. He also ran up record debt and deficits.
His one major accomplishment, the break up of the Soviet Union, caused a huge financial bleed in the US because of the liquidity we had to provide them during their transition.
But he had nice hair and made great speeches. Which, I guess is enough for conservatives.
Ooookay, this is where you get into coo-coo land.
Carter screwed up Iran six ways to sunday, and the people were STILL willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Carter was done when Ted Kennedy challenged him. It said loud and clear, 'We don't want this guy, we aren't sure why you would want him, either."
