Anybody besides me ever notice that the GOP pretty much acts as though
GWB never even existed; though the policies they claim will "Save the

Instead, they all hark back to Ronald Reagan; as if HE was the last
Republican president; and somehow perfect in every way.
Only: It's the Reagan Tax-Cuts that really got us INTO this horrid
financial mess.
As for his Foreign Policy ....
The other day on FOX news, Hannity was ranting about how if we were
STRONG and gave STRONG responses to attacks on Americans, like Reagan
always did, then we'd never HAVE all this unrest and attacks on
embassies like we had about two weeks ago.

So ... By meddling in the middle-east and starting wars there, we're
going to make MORE friends in the Islamic countries? That's like
walking up to a gang of thugs and punching one in the face to make
friends.
As for Reagan and HIS "Tough Foreign Policy"? How soon they forget:
