Most of the right/republicans LOVE Reagan. And I have no idea why. His ideas, policies, thoughts and theories, all but a few, failed. They just like the 'idea' of the man, not what he actually did. I bet if you asked these same people, what he did as president that makes them like him, they can't answer.

Here's a couple reasons why people loved Reagan....
President Reagan?s economic policies stimulated the economy, creating 17 million new jobs. One-fourth of the new jobs were created in 68 consecutive months. Black unemployment was cut in half.
The inflation rate decreased to less than 4.4% (from 13%). Family income rose 12%.
NO OTHER peacetime US president has done so much economically for this country.
