Interesting Newsweek Headline: Why the left loves REAGAN
« on: May 12, 2008, 08:53:33 AM »
I am not paying for the rag.... but I did glance a bit at the article while waiting in line at the Grocery store.   Obama claims to be a huge fan of his because of his communications skills and his transformational politics. 

Personally, I think they like him because he was so effective, and because he is dead.  They can now rewrite history all they want. 

I do think Reagan would get a laugh out of what the left is saying.  They think the message is less important than the messenger. A bit of folly Reagan himself would laugh at.

Amazing how dead conservatives become liberal heros.  Even Nixon got a small bit of the treatment, mostly because of his sudden reverses of field, something they really admire.
