Mike please back it up with factual truth.
Try the following:

Excerpt from Reagan's acceptance speech.
"And, the time is now to redeem promises once made to the American people by another candidate, in another time and another place. He said, "For three long years I have been going up and down this country preaching that government--federal, state, and local--costs too much. I shall not stop that preaching. As an immediate program of action, we must abolish useless offices. We must eliminate unnecessary functions of government...we must consolidate subdivisions of government and, like the private citizen, give up luxuries which we can no longer afford."
'
"I propose to you, my friends, and through you that government of all kinds, big and little be made solvent and that the example be set by the president of the United State and his Cabinet.
So said Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his acceptance speech to the Democratic National Convention in July 1932."
...which you can find here:

These you can do your own research on:
"Ronald Reagan raised taxes 11 times, nearly tripled the federal budget deficit..."
"The conservative notion that cutting taxes creates jobs and increases revenue is ongoing from the Reagan era and during his first year in office when he cut taxes, the government went deeper into debt and despite raising taxes 10 more times he was never able to rein in the federal deficit"
"Reagan’s unholy alliance with the likes of Jerry Falwell has been a thorn in the side of women’s rights and religious freedom that continues to this day with Republicans making every attempt to restrict a woman’s right to choose in the 112th Congress."
"Reagan was responsible for funding, training, arming, and equipping the Islamist mujahidin in Afghanistan as a means of combatting the former Soviet Union."
Does that mean he helped creat the Taliban? Yeah....we need more presidents like Reagan, like we need another 9Eleven.
I can keep going. And I know the Amway cleanup crew will try to rebut all this......but yall can look it up and stop asking for back-ups instead of contributing YOUR facts on YOUR own time.
