I think this is a bad move pulling the Reagan card. Reagan was a godfather of the big government, massive spending, corporatist republican party that we have today, things Paul apparently was strongly against. He's also going to push away some independents, on the fence disgruntled democrats, and his liberal base.
I don't think so. His policies haven't changed. Ron Pauls point all along has been to quit relying on the ones who created the mess. Look where it got us.
When you say democrats and independents, you're talking about the finale and not the outcome of republican primaries I take it.
Perry is the front runner, that's who you go after. Romney was smart getting into South Carolina at the last minute because of that reason.

Oh well, he'll just have to remind people that he didn't endorse everything Reagan did but Reagan did do some good. Fiscal Responsibility wasn't one of them however.
Here are a list of his accomplishments someone put together and highlights of what it was like here before he took office.

I'm talking the primaries as well if Paul makes it that far. He's essentially trying to be Mr. Reagan, while bashing Perry for working with a democrat. While yes, he should go against Perry, he's not approaching it in the right way if he wants to gain independent and left votes.

I don't think there are that many states that allow dems and indis to vote in the repub primary.
Ron Paul reminds me a lot of this other 'wild-n-crazy' Texan, and he'll get just about as far.
I disagree. Ross Perot got 19% of the popular vote in 1992 and 8% of the popular vote in 1996. Whereas Ron Paul has never gotten more than 0.5% of the popular vote, ever.

^^^ Thanks, that's amazing and I didn't realize his support was actually so thin. Which kinda brings up the basic fact that no matter how many "great ideas" Paul may have, what good is it if he can't lead...?

It makes perfect sense actually. Ron Paul is a Libertarian, and Libterarians are nothing more than closet anarchists. Anarchists, naturally, do not vote. Which explains Ron Paul's dismal showing in the only poll that counts, the General Election.

They have different policies. Ron Paul was the one who warned us about the housing collapse from the get go and told us exactly why it would happen. Ron Paul also told us 9/11 was going to happen and the reasons why.
Become informed, otherwise you'll get more of the same horrible policies that have crushed our once great nation.

Why comment on an inaccurate post with no facts? How can one possible understand where a candidate stands without taking time to learn his policies? Ron Paul the same as Perot??? LMAO
