Because you take it so well...and I'm not going to let you get away with comparing Kasich and Reagan. Uh, uh.
Kasich was in the first wave of Reagan allies in 1982. Kasich helped implement his agenda. Reagan would not have been TEA party. It would have made his skin crawl. You have to make conservatism and free market economics work for the less fortunate, not just shut the gummint down.
No. Reagan was all about shutting the govt' down and letting people handle their own affairs. He was a huge Calvin Coolidge fan. He despised socialized medicine. These are all the opposite of Kasich who is a fan of Obamacare. You cannot cite one social program that Kasich was willing to eliminate or cut back on when he was running for President. Reagan ran specifically on cutting social spending. His first budget slashed the hell out of welfare.
Reagan wanted to unleash the animal spirits of our free and capitalist economy. He believed in the rising tide, the shining city. He wasn't fixated on eliminating programs for the poor. He oversaw the biggest changes in history to preserve the Social Security system and the private pension system. What the hell is wrong with conservatives nowadays? Our hearts are filled with dust.
We've been 'compassionaited' to death @Jazzhead It threatens the very nature of our existence now, Death by Taxes to pay for all that Compassion, is a dead end.
. You can't. You can't be that ignorant.
Yes, but did you know his father was a mailman??
Wait. This guy?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ixNPplo-SUI think he would have been right in there with folks who are Taxed Enough Already.
Don't bother. Jazzy wouldn't believe any of this even if Reagan got out of the grave and walked up to tell him he was full of shit.
Love that one. Also this one:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhYJS80MgYAI miss that guy something fierce.
You and me, both. We were blessed to have him, and not just as POTUS.
Grinds my gears there are people who think John Kasich is the second coming.
After watching the primaries and these darned 100 days of tweets and twits I would be happy to have President Kasich.Other than Santorum, Hicklebeee, Graham, I would be happy with anyone but the orange menace we have now.
I'll admit ... the most I know about Kasich is how utterly boring he was during the debates. He may be a good guy but ... sheesh.
Aren't you special? Bless your heart.
Special as in wearing a helmet and flippers in the shower?
