[Reagan Man]

Linking Ron Paul to Ronald Reagan is ridiculous.

In 1988 Ron Paul was nominated by the Libertarian Party for president and ran against the Reagan agenda, at one point telling the Dallas Morning News, Reagan was a "dramatic failure" as President. Paul also said, "I want to totally disassociate myself from the Reagan Administration", Reagan was "a failure, yes, in, in many ways". Transcript of Paul's remarks on Meet the Press. Also, see Youtube video of Paul on MTP.

Paul's association with other Reagan haters like the John Birch Society, lewrockwell.com and that all time Reagan hater, Murray Rothbard, is not cause for celebration either.

I have no prob w/ Paul's criticism of Reagan. Reagan didn't make much of an effort in decreasing the size of the fedgov....quyite the opposite, in fact. Yes, he had a Dim Congress to deal w/, but he also had the power of the veto, which he didn't use nearly enough. Reagan could talk a good game but he governed differently.
