What do me, Maureen Dowd, and unnamed "Democratic lawmakers" referenced by Dowd have in common.....we all agree with Dirtbag

Obama Is Jimmy Carter 2.0 - FoxNews.com

It tickles me when I hear today's conservatives pining for Ronald Reagan. Truth is Ronald Reagan wouldn't be elected in this current political environment. If you look at the trajectory of Ronald Reagan's political career prior to becoming president he was pro-union and as president he raised taxes at least 11 times in various ways and expanded the size of the federal government. These are issues that today's GOP are decidedly against and have, rightfully or wrongfully, drawn a line in the sand. In short, there is no Ronald Reagan on the other side to challenge Obama, even if they're successful in portraying him as Carter 2.0.

Reagan governed with a Democratic Congress that drove the tax increases. The expanded size of gov't was to defeat the greatest threat to freedom the world has ever seen.

You'd be a great NASCAR driver, you can only turn left.
