Reagan:
-raised taxes 11 times
-raised the debt limit 17 times
-negotiated with terrorists
-cut and ran from Lebanon
-granted amnesty for illegals
All of which are ideas "evil" enough to make Obama the dreaded "radical socialist."
Conservatism is a joke.
I am not a fan of Reagan by any means, but I will not criticize or condemn him for "cutting and running" from Lebanon as you put it. If anything after the barracks bombing Reagan was at least smart enough to recognize a lost cause and not to further interfere in an area we know little. A more hawkish president might have escalated the bombing into a full blown conflict. So as far as Lebanon is concerned I give the man credit for making the right decision.

Just like liberals tend to unfortunately deflect when pointing out that Clinton deregulated, encouraged outsourcing, pushed China into the WTO, saw the national debt increase every fiscal year, etc... And deflect again when you point out Barack W. Obush's record.
That's exactly what Ronnie thought during the AIDS crisis.
But believe me and I do know what I am talking about, this had nothing to do with his feelings about gays. Many did not take it seriously enough in the mid 80s, when it became a health issue. It was much later we realized just how bad it was and we started addressing the issue seriously.

bs, the entire medical community thought it was serious. reagan just ignored it for a long, long, long time despite what the medical community told him.
I found the above time-line to be very informative, for those interested.
