[Hoot Gibson]

Ronald Reagan was no idiot. Ronald Reagan was a communicator, had an ability, a gift, of lifting the spirits of the American people, making people proud to be Americans, confident in the future... he exuded strength and resolve. However, Hoot, you are incorrect as to his economic policies. And, it's a funny thing... you seem to be pretty nimble in finding all manner of things on the internet, yet "I dont have access to that volume"? To me, it was nigh impossible not to like and respect Ronald Reagan. I simply think his economic policies (supply side etc.), which, in a sense, weren't "his" but part of a philosophy, did precisely what the book I cited suggests they did.

It is pointless refuting an absence of facts. Citing a page in a book on a forum such as this, particularly when you do not even bother to quote the relevant passage, is no different than not providing any facts of your own. You are simply running with the bait and demonstrating how disconnected from reality the socialists in this country are. I will reel you in at my leisure.
