..oops I was wrong, he didn’t just call Reagan a failure, he called him a ‘dramatic failure’. At that Paul was very nasty towards Reagan. I take it you’ve never read Paul’s book, “Freedom Under Siege”. This one they never dismissed as ‘ghostwritten’. Here are a few sources for you to dig through that reference these including Paul’s own words.

Okay. Thank you. I have to agree that, insofar as Ronald Reagan failed to implement a reduction in government, he was a failure. The conservative idea is “smaller government.” Get it? Not a government slowly gowing bigger. Get it? Or is that another “koncept for kooks?”
Funny how many Paulestinians are quick to quote Reagan’s 1984 endorsement of Paul for Congress, but never his own later comments on Reagan. Reminds me of the Reagan administration officials (like Stockman) who pop up on NPR now and then to tell us how Reagan would be fully behind Obama’s economic plans.
