Ronald Reagan actually said...

"We can't leave the bad old days behind if the advocates of the failed policies of the past are put in charge of the United States Senate."

"Your courage, sacrifice, and dedication on the frontlines of freedom are recognized and appreciated by all your countrymen."

"The big taxers on Capitol Hill don't know when to stop, and we can't afford to let them regain control of the Senate."

"I am deeply pleased by today's vote in the Senate."
