Ron Paul called Reagan a Dramatic Failure

Got a cite for that? I would love to have that available for the Paul threads...like shooting crazy fish in a barrel.

To: Mr. Silverback
Yes, last weekend on meet the press he was asked about by Tim Russert. Russert said he called Reagan a traitor too. Paul would only deny, weakly, that he called Reagan a traitor. He would not deny he called him a dramatic failure. There have been several threads here on FR in the last week talking about it.

Meet the Press transcript - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22342301/

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.'"

READ THE WHOLE INTERVIEW, IT IS STUNNING.
