(6,335 posts)2. I guess he hasnt heard of Norquists "Reagan Legacy Project" which has made Reagan into a RW god.
The myth of Ronald Reagan was already looming in the spring of 1997 when a highly popular President Bill Clinton was launching his second-term, pre-Monica Lewinsky, and the Republican brand seemed at low ebb. But what neoconservative activist Grover Norquist and his allies proposed that spring was virtually unheard of an active, mapped-out, audacious campaign to spread a distorted vision of Reagans legacy across America.
