What is the difference between Reagan and Bush? beyond acting skills and

[robbedvoter]

the fact that one was elected, the other wasn't. Can you give me other fundamental differences?

[liberal N proud]

1. bu$h is continuing the Raygun policies

Maybe even putting the finishing touches on them.

[jlake]

2. Phase 1 & Phase 2

[Captain Hilts]

3. Reagan knew when to turn on and ditch some bad policies....

at least in foreign policies he kind of did.

[sandnsea]

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?

5. Version 1.0 versus Version 2.0

[Quantess]

6. G W Bush is about 10 times worse than Reagan was.

Everything wrong that Reagan did, W did worse.

[MadMaddie]

7. They are both facist.

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

[rucky]

8. Proxy Wars vs. Full-Scale Invasions

:shrug:

[madrchsod]

16. a proxy war in lebanon

that was a result of "guess who" undermining reagan`s efforts for peace..


yes let`s hear it for ---> george bush the first and his merry "boys in the basement"!

[OHdem10]

9. Do you see the condition of the country. Regan started this

train wreck and GWB has just about finished Regans plan.
and the country is already in the ditch. Unfinished
business Dismantling the Social Safety Ner--SS and Mediare

Regan left us with a deficit and GWB will likewise.

[Richard Steele]

10. If you told me Reagan never did massive amounts of hard drugs, I'd believe you. nm

[madrchsod]

11. tough call but

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`"

[robbedvoter]

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.

[fishwax]

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.

[robbedvoter]

15. Is a "conservative revolution" better than a "Ron Paul revolution?"

[madrchsod]

18. that`s why the media and the republicans are scared of ron

they wish he would go away but he`s not...

[fishwax]

22. I wouldn't have much positive to say about either

[TankLV]

14. a brain, intelligence, integrity, EXPERIENCE...I could go on all day...

you really need to ASK?!?!

bush* - hmm - not much - except bunkerboy has done INFINITELY more damage...

bush* is MOST like hitler...

[robbedvoter]

17. Ronnie's integrity? 100+ people indicted in his administration? "I do not recall"?

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.

[madrchsod]

21. he did`t recall anything because

by the middle of his second term he was no longer capable of remembering anything...

[IDemo]

19. Bonzo is playing the lead role this time n/t

[robbedvoter]

20. LOL!

[4nic8em]

23. One of them

is a dipshit...the other one is dead.
