>>But Reagan, he was glitz and Hollywood, the substance underneath was knee jerk anticommunist, exploitation of our natural resources (no point in letting our children get them I guess,), huge deficits, and tax breaks for the wealthy.

There you go again. Your baby talk isn't at all convincing - if that is your aim.

The tax breaks were for everyone but society's takers - their architect just won the Nobel. Reagan ended the Cold War and restored the economy to full vigor - things unimaginable and unobtainable for other less determined and skillful presidents - his predecessors.
btw, FDR's deficits were much much higher in real terms and as a % of the economy. FDR is still the all-time champ in that area.

>>Richard Nixon was one of the great acheivers of our recent presidents.

There is scant evidence of that, aside from the Supreme Court.

>>I also admire Gerald Ford

An abomination as the only unelected President. Ford should never have gotten the nomination in 1976 - Reagan was the clear choice of primary voters, Ford only won through backroom deals. That elected the 4-year disaster known as "James" Carter, who proceeded to lay ruin to the economy and destroy US credibility throughout the world. What a feckless man Ford was. And is.
