During his 1978 congressional campaign, Ron Paul was locked in a tough primary battle, and his noninterventionist foreign policy came under attack from Republican rivals trying to paint him as weak on defense. Ron had been one of only four congressmen to endorse Ronald Reagan in 1976 and had led the Texas delegation for Reagan at the 1976 Republican convention, so when he needed some help, Reagan was happy to reciprocate with this endorsement:

“Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country.”
—Ronald Reagan

People often say things and then come to their senses. Ronald Reagan was also once a labor leader and a democrat. He then came to his senses. There is no way Reagan would today support the earmark king.

Ronald Reagan had an amnesty program too.

So on amnesty and Nutball Paul he was wrong twice.

Not bad seeing as how Paul is wrong just about all the time.

Conservatives will join OWS before they will support Paul.
