I support the lesser of to evils and for me that is almost always the Republicans. I want an an exceedingly small government with the greatest level of authority granted to local government.

Reagan promoted lower taxes and less regulation. The economy was in shambles when he took office. Things were in much better shape at the end of his administration. The source of wealth is human effort and creativity. The role of government is to foster the pursuit of wealth and protect the wealth that has been created. Government creates neither wealth nor jobs.

I wish he would have reduced government spending and balanced the budget but you are right the massive military spending was likely a key factor in the collapse of the Soviet empire.

I actually don't expect Cain to get the nomination but so far unless more facts arise the last ten days appear to be character assassination to me.

I am opposed to abortion, I was once shocked by an electric fence and I really like Chinese food.

Pretty much agree with other comments except I considered Clinton(Bill) a likeable buffoon whose views went wherever the wind blew. Never liked Hillary.
