Kevin Jackson, a conservative Republican blogger in Missouri, argues that Mitt Romney has potential to be Reaganesque: "Just as the Left has made giving your money back appear bad, so they attempt to set the narrative on Romney. They don’t want you to know that Romney has Reagan potential, at times appears downright Reaganesque. There is very little difference between Reagan’s state of California and Massachusetts. Reagan governed The People’s Republic of California at a time when the state had sanity. If he governed California now, I suspect he would have governed much like Romney."
He continues his commentary: "Reagan would applaud Romney on his life, particularly Romney’s ability to amass an astounding net worth, as there is NO shame in doing well financially. Yet Liberals want America to believe Romney is bad for acquiring wealth, and Republicans continually apologize for financial success, as if people love their personal failure. How silly is this!? Some liberals people may love other people’s failures, but most Americans wish for personal success."
More: "Presenting Romney as a success is the Left trying to convince us that successful people like Romney are losers. Romney has too much against him? He’s a wealthy family man with political experience and amazing business acumen. What a loser! Too bad Romney doesn’t have enough radical influences; he’s not a closet homosexual whose religion is in question, because that would make him even more interesting to the Left. Nope, Romney is a pure by-the-book capitalist. And much to the chagrin of the Left, Romney will work to repeal ObamaCare. He will also reduce corporate taxes, and do things that encourage small business. Romney will bring fiscal sanity to Obama insane Bizarro World of economics where a bankrupt nation can spend its way out of debt, where lower bond ratings are dismissed, as are welfare rolls bursting at the seam."
Is Romney The Next Reagan?
