Where's the Left Wing Reagan?

[You kip if you want to...]

He ran as a LEFTIST PROGRESSIVE SOCIAL DEMOCRAT, He's trying to lead this country in a LEFTIST PROGRESSIVE SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC MANNER, with a twist of NEOCONSERVATISM borrowed from Wilson.

So yep he's a Leftist.

Really?

I just think it's interesting that Hillary has 60+ approvals considering she is such a supposedly polarizing figure. The Clintons seem to have a magic touch on the political offices they hold.

You're shouting and wrong.  Obama is following a centrist path wherein every economic policy of George Bush is continued, with the sole exception of a very weak and moderate provision of some limited health care for a few poors.  So, yes, he's a centrist.

It is a spectrum of ideas, Coolio.  If the electorate are a lot of Nazis that doesn't make one a leftist just because one advocates merely jailing the Jews..

Left appeals to reason, not base emotions (hatred, fear, racism, xenophobia, etc.), thus no left-wing Reagan.

do you consider jealousy and resentment base emotions?
not that any true Scotsman would appeal to those . . .

The right wing definitely appeals to resentment.
