How to be a political pundit

If you are to be a liberal pundit:  Read all you can about President Reagan, and then use what you have learned to show how Republican politicians contradict their favorite president (e.g., Reagan raised taxes many times, and viewed many elements of Roosevelt's New Deal favorably).


If you are to be a conservative pundit: Read all you can about Franklin Roosevelt, and then use what you have learned to show how Democratic politicians contradict their favorite president (e.g., Roosevelt did not always want to borrow during a recession and opposed a number of modern financial regulations, like the FDIC).
