That is a slight exaggeration. It was a poor choice of words. Did you watch the whole interview? He misspoke under pressure in a heated exchange during an interview where Chris Wallace had gone on the attack on several issues. Mitt has never used that term before when describing Reagan's position.
Given that Romney is at 4-5 townhall meetings and 6-7 interviews a day, and not just sitting at home writing essays, it is not surprising that he will have a few words misspoken here and there. Nobody is perfect.
What about your candidate's (Fred's) blunder in telling the CNN guy he supported the Federal Marriage Amendment on Friday and then turning around the very next day and saying he opposed it? Blunders happen. Nobody is perfect.
I sense increased desperation as people make mountains out of molehills.
Horsecrap - like I said, we've seen this gambit from Rudy boosters as well. It was a deliberate mischaracterization of Reagan's record to somehow rationalize Mitt's.

Fred wasn't trying to tear down part of someone else's legacy. The mistake was his own.
It was a damn lie.
