Thom Hartmann: Reagan is not God!
The ghost of Ronald Reagan has returned to haunt Newt Gingrich. If things keep going at this rate, there won’t just be four podiums and four candidates on stage at the next debate in Florida. There will be a fifth podium - with a mummified Reagan propped up against it. Because to Republicans, Ronald Reagan is a God - he is the man by which all their policies should be measured against - HE is the ultimate Conservative that all candidates should strive to be. But what’s lost in all this Reagan-worshipping and idolatry is Reagan’s ACTUAL record as President. And when that’s examined - when we take a look at what Reagan ACTUALLY did in the White House - you REALLY have to question the wisdom of today’s Republican Party and their reliance on the Reagan litmus test…Let's take a look back at what Reagan ACTUALLY did...some that puts Reagan to the left of even Barack Obama!
