Little Joe--Well, maybe there are Republicans out there who condemned Reagan for Iran/Contra (selling arms to the Ayatollah in exchange for hostages always seemed like a very odd thing to me), or for deficit spending, but I'll be damned if I ever met any of them. Most every Republican I know thinks that Reagan was a frickin' saint....

Maybe this is one of those things that just depends on what side of the aisle you sit on, but it always has seemed to me that Republicans are FAR less likely to criticize their leaders (unless they're caught with their hand in the cookie jar, ala Nixon) than Democrats. What do you think?

I think this is a bit strong. I know many republicans who did not like Iran Contra or the deficit spending. Many don't think he was very smart. However, they on balance feel that Reagan was a good president. How is this any different than the Dems.
