Paul wrote basically that the results didn't meet the philosophy of Reagan in 1976 and 1980. Deficits, debt and no departments cuts. The philosophy of the Reagan Revolution was about smaller government. Paul wanted to put that philosophy, which for a large part failed to be implemented into practice.

Perry on the other hand was for bigger government. He was diametrically opposed to the Reagan Revolution of small limited government.

Clint | 9.10.11 @ 6:30AM

"EASTON, Md, September 8, 2011 — We have all heard of strong-arm tactics, and during the commercial break at Wednesday night’s GOP Presidential debate at the Reagan Library, Texas Governor Rick Perry was observed doing just that to Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas).

A camera caught the action, but no mikes were on, so this is a perfect example of where actions speak louder than words.

First Perry confronts Paul across the podium of Ambassador Jon Huntsman. Then they stand nose to nose as Perry harangues Paul. Next he shakes his finger in Paul’s face as he grabs his arm. Then he makes one last gesture, perhaps one of giving up in the face of Ron Paul’s stoic, tight-lipped response. "

Actually, there was one a 'hot-mic'. Gov. Perry, at the behest of Sen. Rand Paul, was simply suggesting to Cong. Ron Paul to take his Aricept (meds.) more regularly. Cong. Paul's response was "I am not delusional, General Custer. The Indians are not a threat!"

PattyMor| 9.9.11 @ 3:51PM

Paul has some very good points on the financial system. I read his book and basically agreed with him. But Paul's views on foreign policy are very extreme. He's right that the U.S. is involved in too many foreign adventures, but we can't just sit back and let Iran have a bomb. Let's start building some superduper bunker busters and some bright new shiny bombers to deliver them.

Ron Paul is further Left on social and national security issues than even most moderate Democrats or even the radical himself, Obama.

C Bowen| 9.9.11 @ 5:49PM

Dick Cheney, Obama and Hillary all favor a policy of replacing various Middle Eastern heads of state, with radical Islamic "democrats."

If opposing such insanity is Left, you don't really get the Left Right dichotomy.

I'm not much of a fan of niether politician. However, one must question Perry in that he spent the entire era of Reagan as a Democrat. His fellow Texas pols were on the same side of Tip O'Neil and Robert Byrd.

It's hard to say you're a devotee of the Gipper when you're ate from the same side of the table as Lloyd Benson and Ann Richards.

Mrs. Vito| 9.10.11 @ 7:54PM

JP, open your ears. Gov. Perry has explained at numerous times that yes, he used to be a Democrat, and that at the time, Al Gore was much more moderate than the internet-inventing, global warming guru that he has become. This info is easily found if you're truly interested in the facts...

Sean| 9.9.11 @ 7:18PM

Like I said you lied.

That video shows Ron Paul advocating letting third party candidates into the debates if they are on enough ballots to allow them to win the Presidency. That is not an endorsement. Also Ron Paul should never have to endorse a liberal like McCain for President.

Clint | 9.9.11 @ 9:00PM

Now,The Rest Of The Story.

" Paul said he's supporting the third-party candidates because the two major parties and media had "colluded" to avoid discussing issues and falsely presenting the difference between McCain and Obama as real.

"I've come to the conclusion, after having spent many years in politics, is that our presidential elections turn out to be more of a charade than anything else, and I think that is true today. It is a charade," he said.

Paul offered an open endorsement to the four candidates because each signed onto a policy statement that calls for "balancing budgets, bring troops home, personal liberties and investigating the Federal Reserve," an aide to the congressman said.

Paul said a strong showing by the third-party candidates would express the public's frustration with the current system."

In fairness to the Paulistas, the following makes a good point of comparison: '..... Ron Paul Is Reagan’s True Heir Friday, September 9, 2011 09:51 AMBy: Doug Wead....Here are the words of The Gipper, Ronald Reagan, and presidential candidate Ron Paul, side by side. In 1976, Ron Paul was one of only four congressmen to support Reagan against the establishment. The two have much in common.
Ronald Reagan: "The Federal Reserve is answerable to no one."Ron Paul: "The government will audit a waitress to make sure she pays taxes on her tips, but they won't audit the Federal Reserve."Ron Paul: "Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our liberties and our wealth are in jeopardy."Ronald Reagan: "If this globe is to live in peace and prosper, if it is to embrace all the possibilities of the technological revolution, then nations must renounce, once and for all, the right to an expansionist foreign policy. Peace between nations must be an enduring goal, not a tactical stage in a continuing conflict." Ron Paul: "We cannot spread our greatness and our goodness through the barrel of a gun. It fails because it destroys our goodness in the process." Ronald Reagan: "We know too what happened in the Brezhnev era: greater and greater expansionism; Afghanistan, economic decay and overwhelming corruption; a greater and greater burden on the peoples of the Soviet Union, and on all the peoples of the world." Ron Paul: "This is usually how empires end, by spending too much money maintaining their empires. We are now in 130 countries. We have 700 bases around the world. And it’s going to come to an end. I want it to come to an end, gracefully and peacefully. Let's just follow the Constitution and follow a more sensible foreign policy." Ron Paul: "I think the whole sentiment toward war is shifting. We can’t even fight without borrowing money from the Chinese. It really doesn’t matter whether I’m right or wrong. The wars are going to end because we are going to have such a political and financial havoc here at home that — with the devaluation of our dollar — that they will have to stop." Ronald Reagan: "What if we were to ask their [Russian] mothers, sisters, and sons, do you want war? Ask us, too, and you'll find the same answer, the same longing in every heart. People do not make wars; governments do. And no mother would ever willingly sacrifice her sons for territorial gain, for economic advantage, for ideology. A people free to choose will always choose peace. “Americans seek always to make friends of old antagonists. After a colonial revolution with Britain, we have cemented for all ages the ties of kinship between our nations. After a terrible Civil War between North and South, we healed our wounds and found true unity as a nation. We fought two world wars in my lifetime against Germany and one with Japan, but now the Federal Republic of Germany and Japan are two of our closest allies and friends.” Ron Paul: "Throughout the 20th century, the U.S. has steadily drifted from the traditional policy of nonintervention, neutrality, and independence to one of interventionism in the internal affairs of other nations, covert foreign activity, and broad international commitments.“This dramatic shift in policy, one of the major U.S. blunders of this century, is responsible for all of our overseas military conflicts of the past eight decades, which have resulted in more than 650,000 Americans killed and 1,130,000 Americans wounded. "The last two major conflicts, Korea and Vietnam, were fought without a formal declaration of war. In modern language, they were ‘police actions.’ Since war was not declared, there was no commitment to win. Clearly the efforts proved futile, serving only to tear at the seams of American society.” Ronald Reagan: “The Soviet-American relationship, once marked by sterility and confrontation, is now characterized by dialog — realistic, candid dialog — serious diplomatic progress, and the sights and sounds of summitry." Ron Paul: “There’s nothing wrong with spreading our values around the world, but it is wrong to spread them by force. We should spread them by setting an example.” Ron Paul: “If we think it is our responsibility is to spread democracy, then let’s make sure we have it here.” Ron Paul: “Those who advocate the traditional policy of nonintervention are ridiculed as isolationists by the authoritarians who want the U.S. to decide all disputes. Yet it’s their interventionist policies, especially in the last six years, which have isolated us, reduced our allies, and increased our enemies.” .......'

JP1| 9.9.11 @ 4:03PM

Doug Weed is a dishonest Idiot.

Given Paul and the Rothbardians hate Ronald Reagan, especially Reagan's Foreign Policy and wanted Reagan Tried for War Crimes its even more idiotic.

How about we take Paul quotes and pair them next to Anti-Semites and George McGovern if we play this game?

Oldefarte| 9.9.11 @ 5:04PM

Maybe so, but many writers fall into that catagory as well. Paul [and Reagan] make good points in that this country is overextended militarily, which is costly in terms of casualties and costs. What does same achieve? Has any country [other than England and Israel] come to our aid and assistence in our ME military campaigns? We saved Kuwait from extinction by the Iraqi army, yet did they reciprocate and offer any assistence after we drove Sadaam back to Iraq? Did Kuwait give us a say 10% discount on our imported oil from them? Did Europeon countries support us diplomatically or militarily after we bailed them out in WWII? After loaning Russia $billions when they were dying economically, did they thank us by refraining from building missle armaments in Iran etc? Did Pakistan thank us after assisting them during Musharaf's term with terrorism by not selling missle technology to Iran, NK etc [or by not harboring the terrorist UBL]? No, Paul and Reagan have credible points and food for thought. No one of sound mind would go overboard toward Paulisms in proclaiming the need to love our foreign enemies to death, but our isolation from foreign intervention could be countered with targeted missled attachs upon any foreign country that say attacked us 9/11 style etc as a warning response to same!!!!!!!

So what? Perry was a conservative Democrat and Al Gore ran as one. That support was 23 years ago and if Dr. Paul thinks he will get any traction from this fact, he is mistaken. Perry has been a conservative Republican since 1989. I too was a conservative Democrat in 1988 and have been a conservative Republican since 1989 too.

Clint | 9.10.11 @ 8:35AM

" Rick Perry supported Lance Armstrong's 3 billion dollar Texas taxpayer funded medical research center. That’s like ObamaCare. That’s not free market.

Rick Perry, secured a 300 million dollar business handout slush fund for him and just the two leaders of the legislature to dole out to whomever he felt like being friendly to. That’s corporate welfare, a recipe for corruption, and as bad as the TARP bailouts that caused the Tea Parties to explode all across America. In fact, Perry gave 20 million dollars to Countrywide Financial​, which later went bankrupt.
He supported a new state business tax. He set up toll road tax collection booths all over Texas highways. The Austin Tea Party and the Austin Toll Party booed him on the steps of the state Capitol for that.

Rick Perry, signed an executive order mandating young Texas schoolgirls to get the HPV vaccine, while his former chief of staff was a lobbyist for Merck. Perry's judgment was so bad the Texas legislature revolted against him and overturned his decision,"

You are getting smarter and you see that Ron Paul's ideas are the main focus of the campaign. I am sure Ron Paul would rather be home with his large family in retirement writing and teaching then running in a brutal campaign. The problem is that at the present time there is no other person in public life who has the knowledge and principles to pull us through the current disaster.

Ron Paul is certainly the most electable Republican. He is tied with Obama in most polls as is Romney and Perry. Perry and Romny do much worse among Independents, Democrats, and the young then Ron Paul. No Republican can be elected without these people. The old line Republican crowd is down to about 20% of the poulation. He is by far the best and most thoughful debater of anyone running for President. He would destroy Obama in any debate. Ron Paul is at the present time the only one running who can give us hope for the future.

Even if by some miracle Perry or Romney would be elected, they would be like the Bush's or Clinton. In effect just 2 more members of the old boys club which has put the country into bankruptcy.

Yes, part of that was a strong economy to build a gazillion tools to defeat the Soviets...Accomplished!

Clint | 9.9.11 @ 9:12PM

Dr.Ron Paul's Foreign Policy Advisor Michael Scheuer, Former CIA Chief of The bin Laden Unit,

The President Should:
2.) Publicly state that there will be no U.S. surprise attack on Iran, and no U.S. attack at all on Iran unless the president asks for a formal declaration of war and the Congress votes its approval in a constitutional manner.

4.) Speak to the American people and tell them to expect to be brutally propagandized by U.S. citizen Israel-Firsters through AIPAC, their ubiquitous media shills, and the men and women they own in the U.S. Congress and federal bureaucracy. Urge Americans to ignore this effort by U.S. Israel-Firsters to get them to send their soldier-children to fight in a religious war in which the U.S. has no genuine national interest at stake, and in which U.S. participation would further bankrupt the country, require the reintroduction of conscription, and put America at war with all of the Muslim world -- Shia and Sunni -- for the foreseeable future."

Carol Quigley| 9.10.11 @ 1:09PM

Chamberlain was the defender of the status quo . Dr Paul is more like Churchill, the leader we need, now, in this time of crisis, but who is being written off as an out of touch alarmist.

Remember: Hitler was Time magazine's 1938 Man of the Year. Senator Prescott Bush (Poppy's daddy, and shrub's grandaddy) was eventually convicted of trading with the enemy, for his role in continuing to see no evil in Nazi Germany, even after the US had already declared war.

The difference, today, is that the enemy is no longer at the gate; the enemy is already on the throne (no, not just Obama, simpletons). It is time to dethrone the enemy within. Dr Paul is the man of the hour.

If not Paul, who else? No one else is even talking about the problem. Everyone else is part of the problem. If you won't even face the problem, you'll never solve it.

Obama isn't the problem; he's just a symptom. The disease will persist, whether the White House is occupied by a Republican or a Democrat, until either the host is dead, or until the disease is identified and eradicated.

Time is critical. The US is terminal. Yeah, I know, I know, "it can't happen here!" -- right? Idiots.

Edward| 9.9.11 @ 4:07PM

Disingenuous? Sure... it's a little disingenuous.

Politics ain't beanbag, and Presidential politics all the less so.

But it comes down to Ron Paul looking at the Platonic Ideal of Reagan, and seeing the real Reagan fall short. Rick Perry saw the real Reagan, and imagined the Platonic Ideal of Al Gore.

Bernard Lindstrom| 9.9.11 @ 4:37PM

Note: Aaron Goldstein is angry that Ron Paul objected to a massive expansion of the size and scope of the federal government, and to the sort of fiscally irresponsible spending that added TWO TRILLION DOLLARS to the national debt - because it was a Party Hero doing the expanding and spending.

This is a PERFECT distillation of the mindset of the conservative-when-convenient Republican Party die-hard loyalist: fiscal irresponsibility and Big Government are "bad" when Democrats are responsible, but are not to be mentioned when Republicans are.

This is because they do not care about policy, and only about The Party. If you speak ill of The Party, you are no longer a comrade. Adam Goldstein doesn't give a damn if the debt is run up sky-high and Big Government expanded beyond recognition - so long as it's George W. Bush pulling an LBJ, and not LBJ himself.

What a joke.

Oldefarte| 9.9.11 @ 5:19PM

Bush pulling a LBJ? Anyone living through the latter and comparing same to Bush needs either educational or psychiatric assistance. Bush did not legislate the Great Society, the War on Poverty, etc which was an insult to the American taxpayers of this country. Although Bush's ME war was flawed, it could never be the slap-in-the-face to the US military that the Viet Nam War was [thanks to LBJ and McNamara's micromanaging of same STUPIDLY]; and Bush's war was fairly well run because he allowed the military/Pentagon to manage same and not the sending of 18 year old to fight the one-arm-behind-the-back war with a body-bag eventaul outcome that LBJ orchestrated for POLITICAL PURPOSES ONLY. Don't ever make the insane comparison of LBJ and GWB just because they happen to be from the same state of Texas [since that is the one/only similarity possible]!!!!!!!!

Primer on Ron Paul & Liberal-tarianism
Liber-als and Liber-tarians come from the same root of Libertinism -- basically a rejection of authority, law, and morality. That is why they both, to varying degrees, support legalizing drugs, prostitution, gay marriage, abortion, and reducing our military to homeland-security status. Only real difference between the two is Liber-tarians tend to be fiscally conservative. This makes them 66% Liber-al – not enough to meet Reagan’s 80% rule. So, the Paulistas are NOT Reagan conservatives (i.e.. social/national/fiscal). This is why Ron Paul attacked Reagan, resigned from the GOP, and ran as a Libertarian Party candidate in 1988 along with Liber-al cop killer Russell Means.

While Liber-alism leads to totalitarianism, Paulist Liber-tarianism leads to anarchy. This is why our Founders specifically gave us a Republic and NOT a democracy. When Paulistas, who follow a cult of personality just like their cousins the Obamabots, talk of returning to the “founding”, they don't mean the Constitution. Instead, they mean the uber-states-rights chaos of the Articles of the Confederation that led to our Constitution. While we certainly don’t want to nominate a RINO like Romney, we sure don’t want anything to do with the Liberal Ron Paul types and his self-described “revolutionaries”...

Margie| 9.10.11 @ 1:51PM

Perfectly defined.
Bravo!
May I copy this & quote you in the future?

Bernard Lindstrom| 9.10.11 @ 4:04PM

Actually those are imperfect definitions, being that they are objectively incorrect. Neither liberalism nor libertarianism "come from" libertinism. The three words merely share the same root - liber, free - with the word Liberty.

I suppose that alone makes them sound evil to certain sorts of people.

Clint | 9.9.11 @ 9:15PM

Ronald Reagan,
" If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.

Now, I can’t say that I will agree with all the things that the present group who call themselves Libertarians in the sense of a party say, because I think that like in any political movement there are shades, and there are libertarians who are almost over at the point of wanting no government at all or anarchy. I believe there are legitimate government functions. There is a legitimate need in an orderly society for some government to maintain freedom or we will have tyranny by individuals. The strongest man on the block will run the neighborhood. We have government to insure that we don’t each one of us have to carry a club to defend ourselves. But again, I stand on my statement that I think that libertarianism and conservatism are traveling the same path."

It cracks me up into laughter that some here protest the fact of some current Republican politicians were once upon a time Democrats, since that fact accurately describes 2/3 of the Republican Party politicians. Reagan was an ardent liberal Democrat initially as a struggling actor in Holloywood [since to be otherwise is to would be to insure an actor's inability to find work within the liberal Democratic community known as LA-LA lAND]. The southern region of this country was once dominated exclusively by the Democratic Party, and due to the creeping radical liberalism which permiates that party today, all sane conservative Democrats flushed their DNC membership cards down the toilet and converted to the Republican Party. Today, the only Democrats are governmental welfare recipients, labor unionist terrorists, artsy-fartsy imbiciles of Hollywood and academia, dumb-ars 18-24 years olds brainwashed by Hollwwood and their public school teachers, and of course the moronic Paulistas disguised as pseudo-Republicans [RINOS if you will]!!!!!!

For starters, it's fine and dandy that Perry switched Parties. If people couldn't change their mind, we'd still be living under kings.

The problem is Perry may have switched tags, but he didn't switch principles. And he even directly said that. He only switched to a republican because he thought it was the only way he could get elected.

And his record shows that.

He's just another puppet politician who will mold into whatever is needed to get elected, period. And once elected will be another politician who will do whatever they want. More of the same.

Of course, Ron Paul supported Reagan when nobody else did. He is a man of principles, and when the Reagan administration failed to keep those principles, he spoke up. And that is why he is worth voting for.

All this article really shows is that the author doesn't care about principles. Well if you have no principles, you have no morals either."
