"it’s an interesting read. Apparently the results during the Reagan administration weren’t Conservative enough for Ron Paul, even though Reagan was the most Conservative President of the modern era."

You agree the images linking of Ron Paul and Ron Reagan is wrong.

What do you mean “wrong”?

Do you mean fake, photoshopped, like so many antiPaul pics?

These aren’t fake. Real. Apparently that one is on an airplane. Apparently everyone has pictures of themselves and Reagan on an airplane.

Ron Paul was a big supporter of Reagan’s when he was the Conservative challenger to the Liberal Ford (there weren’t many, but Ron Paul was one) and the Conservative challenger to the Liberal Bush.

That’s what those pictures accurately represent, there’s nothing wrong with saying that when Reagan was the long-shot Conservative in 1976, Ron Paul was with Reagan, and almost every other GOP Rep was with Ford. Guys that are pretending to be Conservative now, they were with Ford in 1976, with Bush in 1980. But Ron Paul was with Reagan then.

That’s the accurate story that those pictures show. It’s pretty clear that those pics (at least most) were taken in the 1970s or early 80s.

I guess Ron Paul likes Reagan the Conservative, and not as much the Reagan Administration. Maybe Reagan the Conservative President hired too many ex Democrats who were with Scoop Jackson. Having them in there changed the Administration. That’s one explanation how the Administration and the Republicans can be criticized without a criticism of Reagan the Conservative.
