They did with Reagan. "Reagan cut taxes and cut spending", completely forgetting that the military is spending...
And they also forget that actual domestic spending for non-military didn't significently change. I saw this one site which did per capita non-military domestic spending and Carter was actually lower then Reagan. That's HILARIOUS.
IMO, the only reason Reagan is so liked is because of his persona. Well that and his timing at the end of the Cold War.
