AS I didn't vote for Reagan, I can't be a gloater  --  childish or otherwise.
It is quite clear that the fact that Reagan was elected doesn't necessarily
justify any particular policy that he pursues.

The point is that many people may have been fooled by Reagan, but where's the
evidence that this is so.  Today polls still show Reagan is approved of by
the majority of Americans.  Perhaps they are just gullible, but where's the
evidence.  The burden of proof must be on those who claim that the American
people don't know what they are doing this time, unless, of course, you want
to argue that they have been foolish in every election.
