Every time a hear a 40K/yr white male office worker call in
to an AM radio show and denounce the injustice of the "death
tax" (that they will NEVER be in danger of paying one dime
of), I think about just how successful he was.  And I
despair of the left ever being able to compete with such
thorough brain pollution.

Maybe Bush can be mean where Reagan had to be nice because
the ideological war has already been won now.
