The earliest date on any of those is Nov. 2006.

You’re a smart guy, I read your posts, don’t you see through this?

He’s on record disavowing Reagan and his policies, and yet he calls his name to bolster his campaign?

On the one subject, I so strongly disagree with you, I’m going to leave it alone, as far as you’re concerned.

Good luck!

"I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush."
Mitt Romney, 1994

Two whole sentences from 13 years ago. As repudiations go, that's pretty weak. Now, perhaps if he had actually said "Reagan's policies were wrong and bad for the country" and repeated it often, then maybe you might have a point. But two decade-and-a-half-old sentences in a single debate negate everything positive he has said/done, says/does now or will say/do in the future about Ronald Reagan? Those two sentences also erases the fact that Nancy Reagan bestowed upon Mitt the Ronald Reagan Medal of Freedom? Come on, is that a reasonable position to take? How many people, let alone politicians, could live up to that standard? Heck, could you?

Look, I worked on that '94 campaign. I've known the man most of my life. He has, for as long as I have known him, always held Ronald Reagan in the highest esteem and his words and actions over the years, taken in totality, show this to be true. That, in my opinion, is the only fair way to judge anyone.
