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...

I’m waiting on Ron Paul to disassociate himself from Code Pink.

Still waiting; still not hearing anything but crickets chirping.

On leaving the party, Ron Paul remarked:

"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

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...

I have always thought Ron Paul was bad.

But his rant resembles far too many at FR directed at George w bush.

Ron Paul is crazier than an outhouse rat! This evening when I heard him on TV in an excerpt from a recent interview stating that it was wrong to kill Bin Laden, I knew that his campaign was over before it even started. Because it proved to me that he has not sought the mental help he so obviously needed the last time he campaigned. He almost makes Ross Perot seem normal!

Once again, a lot of energy will be expended trying to pretend Wrong Paul is a major contender.

And once again, he’ll prove to be nothing more than a low single-digit also-ran.

Reagan is easily the best President since the Founding Fathers, but Ron Paul has a legitimate criticism. Reagan could have been more fiscally conservative.

Ron Paul is consistent, and he was right about deficits way back then.

I have never heard of a connection between Ron Paul and Code Pink.

I therefore resign my membership in the Republican Party and enclose my membership card.

Another thing Paul lied about?

The older I get, the more I see how Reagan was trying to paddle upstream in a waterfall.

The only way you get out of the statist / humanist / secularist / socialist waterfall is

If my pessimistic view of imminent history is true, maybe it would be better to just elect Ronald Romney and paddle downstream in the waterfall.

So much time and effort wasted on a guy who will only see the inside of the White House when he goes on a visit.
