What is so appealing about Ronald Reagan to conservatives

I don't get why Republicans love Ronald Reagan so much. He gave them one massive tax cut and that was it.

He raised the debt ceiling 14 times
He raised taxes 18 times
He never tried to ban abortion
He believed in separation of church and state
He was a Democrat for thirty years and voted for Franklin Roosevelt four times
He was an adulterer
He was in favor of abolishing nuclear weapons
When he married Nancy Davis she was preggers

On Reagan's birthday back on Feb 6 Sarah wrote this Facebook rant about him. Instead of including a dignified picture of him she puts a pic of herself:



I guess Sarah knows that if Reagan were alive today he would be laughing at her. In fact he would be laughing at all the Republicans. Hell he would even switch back to the Democrats.
