I started to do a bit of a lengthy response, Steve, but I see Sam beat me to it. And with much more detail than I could ever find. Thanks, Sam. Sam took each of your claims for Reagan's good presidency and offered the best arguments why they either don't stand up as Reagan's achievements or would have been accomplished by Carter. Or, my preference, involve matters he did that I simply don't agree with such as his union attacks. I know it makes you feel good to throw the word "ideologue" around or its traveling pal, "too committed to an ideology to be open minded." But the points Sam and I are making have to do with policy preferences. We prefer different outcomes that Reagan worked on. Carter was much closer to my view, though not as close as Ted Kennedy. As for my evaluation of Reagan in those sentences, that particular claim was that four more years of Carter would have been much preferable to those first four years of Reagan.
