Ron Paul On The Hunt For Delegates

[Soul Crusher]

sorry, but the media 2012 is a shitload different than the media 1980. 

back then, it was a 30-minute news show at 630 every night.  none of thise 24/7 punditry.

ronald reagan would be mitt today.

Idiot.

Do you even know Reagan's past?   Romney was not even close to being a reaganite and he specifically rejected rejected reagan.

Sure - http://www.addictinginfo.org/2011/06/27/reagan-the-liberal/

Read about it in detail.  Reagan was quite the liberal governor who changed gears because he wanted to be president-  Very mitt like.

and he did a lot of libereal things in office too.  but you disliked my mitt comparison, even tho it's accurate.

Having read reagans' diaries and looking at Mittens, putting the two in the same sentence is absurd.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Reagan raise taxes, increase spending, and increase the role of government as Governor? Mitt has a better record than that.

He even had a flip-flopping past lol...

[howardroark]

And, TBH, Reagan's record as President wasn't much better than his record as Governor... Sure, he started off with a bang, but government spending on all things, not just on the military, exploded. I see a lot of people saying this bullshit about the Democrats preventing Reagan from cutting the things he wanted to cut - but as President, couldn't he have at least forced the Congressional Democrats into a compromise to at least freeze spending in real terms? That alone would have done a lot to control his record-setting budget deficits. And of course, after his large initial tax cut, he hiked taxes numerous times.

i remember romney calling out reagan in 2008... "I'm not gonna raise taxes..." when asked if he'll do what reagan did.

that was the debate whisper question where "he raised taxes" appeared in someone's earpiece.

Romney is the worst of the worst.   I prefer newt over Romney.

Newt has never seen a government program he hasn't liked. His "conservative opportunity society" is simply code for "Big Government Republicanism," Lincoln style. I much prefer Mitt, who at least has private sector experience of cutting down businesses to size.

[240 is Back]

newt attacks obama all day.  but his lifetime policies speak volumes.

obama trashed bush, got into office, and didn't chnage a damn thing.
newt would trash obama, get into office, and woudln't change much.

Do you remember the mid to late 90's ?   Clinton and Newt actually were the most fiscally prudent duo we have had in a long time and he got welfare reform through.

yes, then newt turned into a spend-happy idiot in the 2000s.

Newt just rolls with what is popular at the time.  Clinton got responsible with $, and so newt rolled with it.
Bush spent like a drunken sailor, and newt cheered it on while spending his own $ like a drunken sailor just to be on the bandwagon.  Tiffany's anyone?

Now he's suddenly a conservative, huh?  riiiiight.  compared to mitt, yes.  comared to rpaul?  fck no.
