TA, I voted in the 88 election, were you even born then? Maybe 5 years old at tops? It's easy to copy some quotes but that doesn't give you insight into what was happening at the time and why. You can get that but you need to actually research it, not just copy a few quotes and spin them like you have.
Man, I admire you for trying.

Many conservatives would now agree that as great as Reagan was, he wasn't as conservative as today's conservatives are (and claim to be). It's a much better position to be in to be too conservative for the Republican party than too liberal (ala Gore) for the Republican party.
The Perry camp posted the letter Paul wrote criticising Reagan. All it will do is enforce the above. The fact that they even bothered to respond to this ad shows RP has pull in this election.
In response, Paul's campaign pointed to Paul's policy proposals during that time and repeated the points in the ad that focused on Perry's past support for Al Gore's 1988 presidential campaign.

"Dr. Paul was going after Perry for being liberal in 1988. What's Rick Perry's attack for, being too conservative?" Paul spokesman Gary Howard told The Ticket. "The contrast here is plain: Dr. Paul wanted a stronger conservative revolution, Gov. Perry worked to end it."
