MR. RUSSERT: You're running as a Republican. In your--on your Web site, in your brochures, you make this claim: "Principled Leadership. Ron was also one of only four Republican Congressmen to endorse Ronald Reagan for president against Gerald Ford in" '76. There's a photograph of you, Ronald Reagan on the right, heralding your support of Ronald Reagan. And yet you divorced yourself from Ronald Reagan. You said this: "Although he was once an ardent supporter of President Reagan, Paul now speaks of him as a traitor leading the country into debt and conflicts around the world.
"I want to totally disassociate myself from the Reagan Administration." And you go on to The Dallas Morning News: "Paul now calls Reagan a `dramatic failure.'"
REP. PAUL: Well, I'll bet you any money I didn't use the word traitor. I'll bet you that's somebody else, so I think that's misleading. But a failure, yes, in, in many ways. The government didn't shrink. Ultimately, after he got in office, he said, "All I want to do is reduce the rate of increase in size of government." That's not my goal. My goal is to reduce our government to a constitutional size. Completely different. I think that--matter of fact, he admitted in his memoirs that he had a total failure in Lebanon, and he said he relearned the Middle East because of that failure. And so there--he--you know, he...
Paulistinians...the libtard wing of the libertarians...
Paul’s words speak for themselves...he despised Reagan.
He never got conservatism and he never will. He’s an old kook.
I’m waiting on Ron Paul to disassociate himself from Code Pink.
Still waiting; still not hearing anything but crickets chirping.
Note ALL those pictures were taken PRIOR to Doctor Demento’s badmouthing and denouncing President Reagan.
Ron Paul has a point when he criticizes the economics of everyone including that of Reagan. However, Ron Paul is a ZERO on foreign policy. Having said that, he is still better than the pro-terrorist RINOs like JOE BARTON who are part of the Pakistan Caucus. At least Ron Paul is a zero on this front. The members of the Pakistan Caucus can never be forgiven as they have a negative effect . Pakistan’s parliament just yesterday held a prayer meeting for Osama bin Laden.
"Ronald Reagan has given us a deficit ten times greater than what we had with the Democrats. It didn't take more than a month after 1981, to realize there would be no changes." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Paul_presidential_campaign,_1988
You got that right. Very well said.

Seeing those pics reminds me just what a wonderful personality Dutch was.
I really miss him. Just knowing he was around gave us a Conservative bedrock.
Isn’t this guy pushing 80? Perhaps it’s time for him to retire. We don’t need a has been.
Do you agree with his gays in the military vote and position?
Do you agree with his opposition to AZ’s SB1070?
Note: Photos were taken before the Gipper was aware that Paul was the sort of twit who blames america when someone drives a kiloton of combat power into lower Manhattan on a Tuesday morning.
RINOs: viruses infecting the republican party
There are a variety of viruses infecting the republican party, and some of them are easily identifiable:
Ron Paul, Romney, McCain, Mike Huckabee, and a bunch of others...

You didn’t read the article did you?
Ron Paul was upset because the Federal Government was not made smaller.
What might strike you as interesting is that Ron Paul was saying exactly the same thing 24 years ago as he is right now.
He was saying Reagan wasn’t Conservative enough, and that the Republican party wasn’t Conservative enough.
It’s almost like he was calling them RINOs.
