One politicians popularity rarely rubs off on another. I still dont see it here although i want to. Those who will be moved to reagan are offset by those who see bush as reagan light-weight. Once again folks on this thread seem to be grasping at straws. The better news today has to do with the new PM in iraq. If his actions has results, and those results become public knowledge, Bush will really start to gain ground. So far the economy is working for him in time. Maybe this will too. Mike

Reagan's most outstanding (I almost typed astounding) was that he depended on common sense: his and his fellow Americans. And he acted on the basis of common sense, not some enervating sense of what might be politically correct. He acted with conviction from conviction. These are the traits that separate him from today's typical politicians. This is why he refused, at the State Department's insistence, that he remove the classic line from his Berlin wall speech: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" lest it offend someone. And that is the line that was most wildly cheered. And that is the line that removed the first brick from the edifice that no longer stands.
