Stop invoking Reagan already. Every Republican candidate, constantly praising Reagan and reminding us what a big influence he was on their thinking.
Just give me the facts, guys. Tell me what you want to do to continue to secure and improve America. Do not ive me some bogus shorthand that uses Reagan as an adjective: Reagan tax cuts, Reagan foreing policy, Reagan common sense.
Turning Reagan into an object of worship will ultimately -- if it hasn't already -- fossilize the Republicans the same way that overuse of "JFK" as an icon has ultimately hurt the Democrats.
And yes, let me paraphrase JFK: We need leadership, not salesmanship.
