    Tax credits are liberal concepts. not conservative. Tax breaks are conservative concepts and should not be confused with tax credits.

    You have to include KLM 007 in Reagan legacy also. He absolutely wussed out on that, Russians killing a US Congressman. Reagan was an actor and did a great job of talking tough but he always ducked when the going got tough.

    The only good that came of that is we got GPS for non-military use.

    "What Would Reagan Really Do?


    Some Republicans want to impose a Reaganite purity test on this fall’s candidates. Today, though, the 40th president himself wouldn’t pass it."

    Bull .

    You haven't a clue what the implications would have been, do you?

    Wimped out my ass. I lived in S. Korea then in the military. We had no shortage of information and rumor.

    What would you have had him do? Go to war with the USSR? Like it or not, we violated their airspace.

    Yes, the GPS was made available to civilians after that incident...

    That's a tough one. Obama seems to have wised up a little, but he could still do some really dumb things. He could take first-place away from carter, but he still hasn't done anything as costly as creating a new department... The Department of Education, which has done nothing but cost money and dumb kids down.

    When Obama finishes his term, then it will be proper to make a valid comparison.

    ALso, bailouts and favoring particular corporations is not a free market principle, but a Keynesian principle.

    Also fiscal conservative does not equate to conservative. You can be a fiscal conservative with in a statist budget. And i don't know by what criteria you used to gather that his appointments were conservative.

    You have a ty idea about what conservatism is.

    If that's what the article says, it lies.

    You should verify information before inserting foot in mouth.

    they have obama at 15. Some notables that obama is ahead of:
    J. Adams
    Reagan
    McKinley
    Cleveland
    Van Buren
    Coolidge

    The fact that their number 1 is FDR also lends to the credibility.
