Thom Hartmann: Reagan is not God!
The ghost of Ronald Reagan has returned to haunt Newt Gingrich. If things keep going at this rate, there wont just be four podiums and four candidates on stage at the next debate in Florida. There will be a fifth podium - with a mummified Reagan propped up against it. Because to Republicans, Ronald Reagan is a God - he is the man by which all their policies should be measured against - HE is the ultimate Conservative that all candidates should strive to be. But whats lost in all this Reagan-worshipping and idolatry is Reagans ACTUAL record as President. And when thats examined - when we take a look at what Reagan ACTUALLY did in the White House - you REALLY have to question the wisdom of todays Republican Party and their reliance on the Reagan litmus test
Let's take a look back at what Reagan ACTUALLY did...some that puts Reagan to the left of even Barack Obama!
