Doubtful. The others had some iota of integrity. Bush(Cheney really - Bush is just a figure head) has none, zero, nada, etc.

Yep. Republicans will always look back on their own with fondness. Reagan wasn't near the hero republicans make him out to be now. Personally, I think he had the alsheimer's before he ever got elected. He certainly didn't recall all of the laws he broke with his Iran / contra scheme. Gerald Ford betrayed the american people when he pardoned that crook, Nixon for the laws that he broke and Lincoln led us into a civil war where 700,000 americans lost their lives.
Republicans are lawbreaking communists and I'm beginning to think Bush has more in common with Lincoln than Ford or Reagan. Bush may well lead us into civil war in this country for the sake of his dreams of a global dictatorship much the way Lincoln led us to that point for the sake of a federal dictatorship controlling the individual states.
You lockstep partisans need to come out of both major parties in this country before it is too late.

Ronald Regan was one of the most popular presidents when he was in office. Lincoln was the least favorite during his administration.
Bush is unpopular because he was wrong. He was wrong when he said there were weapons of mass destruction. He was wrong when he decided to assume nation building would just happen. He was wrong to not go after heroin poppy growth in Afghanistan.
He was wrong to take a record surplus and make it a record deficit. He was just plane wrong. And any wishing on your part is willful ignorance. It feels good but in the long run it fails.

What was Reagan right about? Was he right in his response to the Beirut Marine barracks bombing or was he right when he decided to sell arms to Iran? As for Ford, his great claim to fame must have been the "WIN" (Whip Inflation Now) buttons, designed to encourage people to fight inflation. Problem was the price of the buttons kept going up.

I don't where this myth of Ronald Reagan's greatness came from but the man was senile for God's sake!

LMAO no way in hell will that happen i cant believe u are comparing lincoln to bush. Lincoln freed the slaves and helped keep our country united. Bush sent our troops out to get killed looking for weapons that we have yet to find and to look for a 70 year old man.

RR was so so at best. Lincoln was great but looked awkwardt the rest of your argument is asinine.

anything is possible but in the case of Bush he has caused so many short term disasters it is a long shot to say the least.

Nixon was also mocked and he certainly did not turn out to be right.
There are much stronger parallels between Bush and Nixon than between Bush and Lincoln.
