If you define success as changing the political debate in a way that favors your worldview, then Reagan was quite successful.

And he engineered the collapse of the Soviet Union.

A sin that still provokes the wrath of closet Marxists.

Nice try. The Soviet Union didn't need help from Reagan to engineer its own destruction.

Anyway, you're confusing Reagan with Bush II, who engineered the destruction of Iraq.

what exactly are the criteria for barfing out that Reagan was a "great" President?

how about the US economy going into fvcking Recession under Reagan?

what about "spending"?

how about the the National Debt doubling under Reagan?

The sad thing is that he was still better than the tea party nuts he inspired three decades later.

Considering you are openly willfully ignorant about climate change, I find it really hard to give your opinion any weight about anything.

We cannot be both the world's leading champion of peace and the world's leading supplier of the weapons of war.

Edward, I said standing, not poll of his term.I was referring to the view of him that includes his post-presidency.

Fair enough.

Gallup's 2014 poll of living Presidents showed Carter with the lowest favorable rating of the ex-Presidents. Dubya scored better.

You previously mentioned Carter's popularity keeps increasing. Check out Bush's improvement.

I suppose GWB was at so low a level the only direction was up but that Gallup Poll is disheartening. It reminds me of the way I felt the day after Bush was re-elected.

“You underestimate the elastic nature of your country’s conscience. They have made a palpable shift since the oil embargo. American devotion to honor varies inversely with its concern for central heating. It is a property of the American that he can be brave and self-sacrificing only in short bursts. That is why they are better at war than at responsible peace. They can face danger, but not inconvenience. They toxify their air to kill mosquitoes. They drain their energy sources to provide themselves with electric carving knives [with the exception of that bitch of a farmer’s wife!] We must never forget that there was always Coca-Cola for the soldiers in Viet Nam.”
--Trevanian in Shibumi to Hannah, the starry-eyed "revolutionary"

Hannah comes back with this:
"Do you think it's fair to generalize like that about a people?"

Nicolai Hel replies:
"Yes. Generalization is flawed thinking only when applied to individuals. It is the most accurate way to describe the mass, the Wad. And yours is a democracy, a dictatorship of the Wad."

EdwardT...Alls that poll means is that the current flock of republican presidential nominees suck...Americans long for an easy to understand foreign policy like invading other countries and breaking the national savings account...
