So insulting someone is the way to positive outcomes of discussion? please refrain from childish conjecture in an otherwise serious thread. It's not helping Obama's approval rating one Iota.

God I love those Real Americanâ„¢ back porchie you betcha golly wow ways of saying a lot while saying nothing all at the same time.

So, if you don't mind the eastern elitisms, is your argument that Facebook, blogs and Twitter have replaced good old fashioned historical research?

If I would rather save $24,000 per clunker, etc., then unreasonable is a good thing.

In fact, I'd say that the voters who cleaned Coakley's clock in MA recently, were glad to be labeled as "unreasonable".

The politicians who drove California's budget into the ground considered themselves "reasonable".

Your way of thinking is not patient either. Its actually what would be described as "selfish". Very much like Pelosi, Nelson, Reid, Boxer, Biden, Etc.. All folks who consider themselves reasonable and patient.

Didn't someone say that Reid had the "patience of Job"?

You are new here, some of us have long standing relationships, so until you learn the dynamics of those relationships, I would suggest butting out.

I'd say they should hang around. Maybe they have been following longer than some folks have been posting. They may know us, or you, better than we think. On one forum, I recall one guy posting, indicating he was even following others posting at other forums. Almost like studying them. I doubt this person is like that. But there are all kinds for sure.

No - Reagan won popularity by boosting the economy - and he did this through cutting taxes and increasing government spending - same thing Obama has done (in Reagan's case it was largely due to the increased military spending of his arms build up).

You post is based on facts, not rhetoric.

Easy facts to research for anyone that wants to know the truth.

During the 1980s Reagan enacted Mundell’s three-legged approach. He slashed tax rates on the supply-side and was not afraid to run budget deficits in the Keynesian mold.
