Reagan is often thought of as the Republican's top role model. Cenk Ugar(host of TheYoungTurks) has a clip on MSNBC comparing Reagan and Obama. He aims to see which is more conservative.

Thoughts?

I think this really shows that there is a very importance difference between conservative and Republican, and liberal and Democrat. Historically the ideology of each major political party has shifted dramatically, (I actually tried to do a research project on this topic).

 

I think it also shows that it is important to realize that most politicians are not as polarized as the media might portray them. Yes, they tend to lean one way, but the all makes decisions that go against their supposed ideology.

I think it goes to show you that editorialists and producers of documentaries can cherry pick to emphasize particular points if they care to. Does not make the argument correct.
