re: #447 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

They play up his part as a Republican when it suits them, such as trying to play the “We’re Not Racists, REALLY!” card. The rest of the time, they prefer to stick to other GOP greats, namely Roosevelt and Reagan. They worship Eisenhower the general, but think Ike the president was too mushy for their tastes. Nixon is generally lambasted, not just for Vietnam, but also because he was a “damned liberal” when it came to matters like the EPA. Ford’s generally forgotten, the Nixon Admin’s left-overs. And Bush Sr. earned a special place in GOP Hell for daring to raise taxes, even if it was to pay down deficits that Ron racked up in his two terms.

Do they really embrace TR anymore? I mean in the past, sure but now?
