What is the difference between Reagan and Bush? beyond acting skills and |
|
the fact that one was elected, the other wasn't. Can you give me other fundamental differences?

4. Still on the trajectory |
|
What military plan are we using? Who implemented it?
Who proposed opening China trade? Who imlemented it?
Who wanted to cut welfare? Who implemented it?
Who proposed NAFTA? Who implemented it?
Do we want to change trajectory?

They hate minorities They hate a thriving middle class They are in big Corporations pockets..busting unions... They both have allowed Corporations to become Mega Corporations They hate Womens rights.. They hate children They hate the physically ill and mentally ill...
They both stood by and looked the other way as disasters unfolded.. 1) Reagan ignored the Aids epidemic...stalled the release of the Iranian hostages until he got into office 2)* Katrina, 9/11, outing of a CIA agent, and the list goes on
Both - Violators of the Constitution

reagan was`t an evil man, he did evil things that he actually thought were good. bush is an evil man who does evil things because he does`t care if he does. my dad fondly remembered ronnie as a "big dumb mick`"

12. I think the main difference is : Reagan didn't have the Congress - was reigned in a bit |
|
A very little bit - as dems were extremely complacent. Other than that - one senile, one on drugs - two peas in a pod.

13. Reagan's election galvanized his party and kicked off a conservative revolution |
|
whereas bush's presidency has left his party in disarray and (with any luck) buried that same revolution.

17. Ronnie's integrity? 100+ people indicted in his administration? "I do not recall"? |
|
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 11:29 PM by robbedvoter
Deliberate misinformation campaigns re: foreign politics? I guess in my dictionary, integrity means something different - but what do I know :shrug: And yeah, I REALLY needed to ask.
