We also elected any actor for president and he turned out to be one of our greatest presidents ever.
Reagan was a true republican.
Arnold is a liberal. Bush/Cheney are neocons.
We don't yet know what mccain is. In 2000 he was a great republican. I'd be knocking on doors right now campaigning for the 2000 mccain.
The 2008 mccain has recently adopted many neoconservative republican policies.
Reagan was the man. No way he would have paid N Korea a million barrels of oil to stop firing ICBMs at hawaii. He would have toppled Saddam and adhmeidjahad by now with quiet operations. He's have Hugo chavez eating out of our hand right now. And Russia/China/Iran alliance - the biggest world threat of our lifetime - would never have happened with reagan at the wheel. And no way he would have bailed out banks to the tune of $11 trillion.
This neoconservative brand does some odd things.
