I think this is the father of teabaggery.
could understand the raygun's appeal. Not to mention the hate repugs slapped on President Carter. I was 14 when Carter lost to that unemployed actor. Didn't like him then and I still don't like him. Actually I blame him for many of our current problems. Once, there was a brief time I thought maybe I was too harsh on the old guy. You know being President while not really having a working memory. 'Just go read these lines Mr. President just like you used to do in movies with chimps.' But then after about 90 seconds, my sympathy passed from him back to our country's reality which was royally screwed up, thanks to him.
This country hasn't elected a real republican since Ike. Nixon was a crook. Ford was a filler kind of easily forgotten other then helping to launch Chevy Chase and SNL. Raygun, depending on your point of view was either a god or the anti-christ ... I pick anti-Christ, the 666 things is all there. 
Bush Part 1 was bland boring one termer that seemed to vomit a lot, maybe it was all the coke his son was buying from across the street from his white house. Bush part 2 was complete take over of reality, will go down as the worst point in USA history. Like I said Ike was the last republican ever elected President. 
him go off the deep end? If I recall, it was his fear of "teh commies".
does anyone else know?
what made him go from this;
Reagan was a New Deal Democrat. He joked that he had probably become a Democrat by birth, given that his father, Jack, was so devoted to the Democratic Party. The younger Reagan cast his first presidential vote in 1932 for Franklin Roosevelt, and did so again in the succeeding three presidential contests. His faith in FDR remained undimmed even after World War II, when he called himself “a New Dealer to the core.” He summarized his views in this way: “I thought government could solve all our postwar problems just as it had ended the Depression and won the war. I didn’t trust big business. I thought government, not private companies, should own our big public utilities; if there wasn’t enough housing to shelter the American people, I thought government should build it; if we needed better medical care, the answer was socialized medicine.” When his brother, Moon, became a Republican and argued with his sibling, the younger Reagan concluded “he was just spouting Republican propaganda.”
