"We insist that Western Europe take our Pershing missiles. We get the bill, and the hostility of the people of Western Europe, and then act surprised that the Soviets pull out of arms negotiations and send more modern nuclear submarines to our coastline." Ron Paul, Congressional Record, 9/19/84

And there are people on this forum who think this man should be the commander in chief?

Ron Paul, Congressional Record, 9/19/84 Well, that sure puts a hole in the "Reagan would support Paul" theory.

And there are people on this forum who think this man should be the commander in chief? And they are actually surprised that the rest of us don't.

Wow, so let me get this straight. This fruitcake opposed the corner-stone of the Reagan foreign policy, and now says Reagan would have supported him? Why, I think Obama should claim the same!!
Ron Paul - what a nut.

I have always been with the “mess with the US and we can and will, if necessary, kill you” school. I do believe this works and I don’t much care if it makes some people angry.

President Ronald Reagan:
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States
where men were free."

Didn't you know that disagreeing with Ron Paul and his paultards is unconstitutional, un-american and unpatriotic?

Ron Paul,I'll wager,knew that the huge demonstrations in Europe were organized and funded by an organization called the CND which,after the Berlin Wall fell,was revealed to be a wholly owned subsidiary of the East German government....but didn't care.
The more I hear about Ron Paul the more I despise him.

Ron Paul thinks the Cold War was a mistake. It’s no different from his position on the War on Terror.

the cleverness of Reagan was to face them down without having to fire a shot. The domestic opposition was of no help then, as it hasn’t been in Iraq either.

And now Ron Paul is one of George Soros favorite people. What kind of pattern am I seeing here?
Ron Paul has some explaining to do, and I dont want to hear any more of this Ron Paul is a patriotic American BS.

Didn’t you just love what he said after the Pakistani assassination?
If you did not hear it: both political parties made strong statements of condemnation and out rage, RP said “well we better not start nation building in Pakistan”.
Really does the guy have no grasp of reality? The statement did not make sense in regards to the question.

"Paul was also one of only four Republican Congressmen to endorse Ronald Reagan for president against Gerald Ford in 1976,[33] when Paul led the Texas Reagan delegation at the national Republican convention.[36]"
Ron Paul led the Texas Delegation to nominate Ronald Reagan for president; Shown here left to right: Paul, Jack Fields, and Ronald Reagan aboard Air Force One

When you copy text from another freeper (which he transcribed from a printed record), you should acknowledge where you got it. Second, you should get the date right. Paul did not stand against Reagan in 1984 as you claim, but in 1989 as part of a retrospective. The whole thing is worth reading not just your cherry-picked phrase.

Okay, call me confused. Was the quote from Paul in the Congressional Record not 1984?
