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.
Paul’s departure from the Republican Party and attendant remarks disavowing Reagan are well known. Does not bother me in the least. Ron Paul stuck to principle in desiring a smaller government as opposed to a slower growing, big government. That notion is resonating a bit more these days, as it should. Are any other GOP candidates iterating clearly an intent to shrink government as opposed to reigning it in a bit? Cain was there. Palin, too. Bachmann, maybe.
