This makes me happy because it kills the progressives to even hear RRs name.

anything that hurts the feelings of the progressives makes me smile.

it makes me kind of sad that Americans in general are so myopic.

RR is certainly top 10. He hasnt been out of office long enough to see how he really stacks up... but no way he is number 1 over all.

Reagan was the best in our lifetime without ANY doubt and probably one of the best ever.

He was strong, had leadership skills, was respected around the world.

When he spoke people listened.

Even Obama tries to copy him. ( libs wont accept this but he does)

We have NOT had a LEADER since Reagan.

At a time like this we really could use Reagans skills and leadership.

Please

What good is a leader when he leads you down the path of VooDoo Economics, the theory we can SPEND! SPEND! SPEND! with zero thought as to how we'll pay for that spending?

With all the recent finger pointing on both sides of aisle attempting to blame one side or the other for inciting violence I think it appropriate to mention Reagan saying "If it takes a bloodbath, let's get it over with" referring to anti-war demonstrations just a month before the murders at Kent State.

He did nothing after making that statement to end my dislike of him.

Too bad you don't seem to understand that. That old 'teflon' tag applied to Reagan still clings I see

  10. cease enforcing any contract for usury in a court of law, in the U.S.A.
A great president would get rid of welfare. If you're too lazy or stupid to get a job, you deserve to starve. Reagan tried to kill FDR's biggest mistake, but the capitol hill pinkos blocked him.
