Exactly. Reagan was much more moderate than he's revised to be. The revisionist history that I see with Reagan is similar to what the left does sometimes with Clinton. Many liberals love to cite Clinton as an example of a successful liberal President. However Clinton was very middle of the road, very moderate. Clinton was the one who signed off on the repeal of Glass-Steagall and helped deregulate Wall St.
I agree, Clinton was very middle of the road. The sad thing is that many of those who like to see these presidents through their own lens are not even all that young. They were voting age at the time they were presidents, they just weren't paying attention, but now they are suddenly political experts.
he isn't, and neither is rush limbaugh, george bush, cheney, o'reilly, hannity, perry, cain, bachmann, krystal et al. they are the anally retentive wing of the democratic party aka the modern gop!
If someone who is not Republican gets the most votes from Republicans, what does that say about the Republican party?
that it was infiltrated by socially conservative democrats. nation building, not republican! welfare, not gop, no child, patriot act, etc, not republican principles.
How about Democrats? Do they vote for whomever the media pushes on them?
they sure do. if you're a real leftie, there were much better choices than clinton or obama. bernie sanders, nader, kucinich, howard dean even mike gravel or john edwards would've been better. it was very clear in the last primary season who the mainstream media backed going into the campaign. the way they're backing romney and perry, they backed obama and clinton!

Well over time I guess people long for what they had because they don't like what they have now. So they start to idealize and turn them into heroes. The party bases always want red meat, and they want a liberal/conservative crusader but in reality most of America is in the middle and our politicians govern like that. George McGovern couldn't win and Sam Brownback couldn't get any traction in the Presidential race last time. Ideologues may fire up the base but most Americans don't want an extremist in the White House.
Most know he's a RINO, your failed attempt at humor (yet winning attempt at hate) not withstanding. I can't believe you are just coming around to this information.

Humor, no. Hatred for Limbaugh and nothing more than that.
