Also, Ike is an uncomfortable hero for right wingers who embrace the military industrial complex whole-heartedly.

Bunch of old-timer dems that I met in the US (mostly uni professors), seemed to adore Ike. I guess that doesn't bode well for becoming a right-wing idol.

He fully accepted the New Deal.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Another reason Reagan is worshiped is: who else would they ideolize?

George W. Bush: terrible president, terribly unpopular very good President, quite popular

The Republican's seem really eager to put another Bush in the White House.

In hindsight?  Absolutely.

Well I can see how one might go back and see his policies were good after all but popular?

Sort of. Plenty of people were warning of Bush and Blair's plans were doomed to failure at the time.

Yeah, people predicted that there would be civil war and Iraq would be split up into three parts, which is basically what happened.  I don't remember anyone predicting that Syria would fall into civil war and it would become an enormous transnational mess.  So Bush beat the spread on that one.
