I like Thomas Friedman's idea that GW Bush's presidency is *NOT* Bush II, but Reagan III, or even better, Regan Squared. Regan made Goldwater look moderate, the W Bush administration makes Regan look moderate and Goldwater seem a half-hearted fiscal moderate, social liberal, big government pragmaticst. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
