Maybe not, but it is proof that Reagan's friendship w/ Rep. Paul was a good one, & that they held ea other in high regard. I doubt if Paul's opinions has changed a whole lot since the 70s.
No it doesn't, there are generations of politicians that can roll out a Reagan photo. The Romney family can do that too.
I think that after decades of being a career politician while never being able to rise out of his safe congressional district, in other words, failing to get people outside of that district to elect him to anything, that we have learned a lot about the guy that wasn't known a quarter century ago.
The guy gives me the creeps, he seems as shady as anyone in the business as he burns through the tens of millions of dollars of donations in living his political lifestyle as a "perennial candidate".
