The more things change, the more they stay the same... Here's a summary of the 1980 Reagan/Carter debate. Who is going to be our Reagan to Obama's Carter in 2012? It is so disappointing that 32 years later, we are still having to fight the same battles. Not only do we need to do something with Congress in the 2010 elections by electing the right Republicans, we need to do a much better job educating our citizenry on the proper role of government in our society. These snippets from the 1980 debate provide a decent primer, don't they??
