What is the source of the Reagan quote?

Also, I would recommmend not using a photoshop picture of the 2 Rons, when there are at least 4 real pictures of the 2 Rons.

[parocks]

Here are the 2 Rons pics that I've found.

Feb 6th is the Iowa caucus.. it is also Ronald Regan's birthday..

I know Regan gets a hard time from purist because he didn't walk the walk..none the less he is very popular if not god like among some libertarians and "mainstream" conservatives.

Why not have a "One for the Gipper" Money Bomb on the day of the Iowa caucus.

I understand the obvious negative right off the bat of it being pretty late for a money bomb to use the money efficiently...but then again if Ron is competitive in Iowa(I think he will be)...a extra chunk of money never hurt on the push to Super Tuesday.

imo the positives are many..tens of millions of people will be locked into politics on the day of the Caucus, its a money bomb that appeals to a very broad section of the GOP, opens up conversation and philosophical comparisons of Ron & Ron...

Good or bad idea?

I really, really like this one. Reagan appears to be fascinated by what Paul is talking about. It's like Reagan is looking up to Paul the way most of the GOP looks up to Reagan. This needs to be circulated on every conservative board on the internets!

I like it, too. And what's more, it got me thinking. Initially, I thought it ironic that it contained both a photo of Reagan, and the word PEACE. But, you know what? Regardless of whether Reagan could be called a real proponent of peace or not, peace is what he was selling when he borrowed and spent on all those weapons. Peace is really what he was selling. I was there and I remember.

Somehow, we have got to remind the others who were there at the time of this simple fact.

Agreed 100%.

One of the things we need to do is make sure voters think "peace" and associate the idea of "peace" with Ron Paul. No other candidate is running on a platform of peace. If we can hammer home Ron Paul is the only peace candidate, I think that would have a tremendous impact.

The peace symbol and Ron Paul need to be almost synonomous, kinda like how Bob Marley and Peace are almost interchangeable:

Not a bad idea, jiva. The peace sign would look good substituting for the 'A' in 'Paul' on a bumper sticker, imo.

Please don't try and alienate Reagan supporters. We need everyone to vote for Paul

If you see anything there that would, do tell. My intent is to remind them of why they fell in love with him in the first place, not otherwise, and tie respect for his memory to the idea of peace in our time. For regardless of how his presidency played out, many loved him for the right reasons. And if we can remind people of that, this will help us considerably in the tough primary fight we're facing now.

I agree with both of these sentiments.

That would be great to hand out in California.

Why does any libertarian in his or her right mind like Reagan and want to be associated with him? Mythology aside, Reagan stood for blowing through debt ceilings and tripling the size of government in his 8 years.

[acptulsa]

Why does any libertarian in his or her right mind like Reagan and want to be associated with him? Mythology aside...

Certainly not to set the mythology aside.

When you have a Republican primary to win, having Reagan on your side is still a very wonderful thing. Now, where's the downside? Is Ron Paul not different enough from Reagan to ease the minds of independents? Do you figure Reagan's a threat to get into office today?

For many years now, no libertarian in his or her right mind expected to win. This cycle we have a chance to do just that. Given this, what's not to like about appealing to the millions who liked Reagan and his rhetoric?

Ron must have felt it necessary to support weapons for the Afghans, as they were fighting the Soviets.
Yes I am in my right mind and no I am not a libertarian anymore like I used to be.
Just keep bad mouthing him and see how Reagan supporters react. Let it die PLEASE

Because we are trying to win a Republican primary at the moment

Where do principles fit in with this?
I'm anti-Reagan, just like most democrats/liberals out there.
Ron Paul is principled, Reagan was not.

It seems like you are suggesting that we manipulate fans of Reagan into voting for a guy who does not share their beliefs. I'd rather educate them than to use tactics like this to try to make them simply check a box.

I would suggest that while Reagan did not live up to many of his own principles, his principles are what people liked about him. To offer to Reagan conservatives the fact that Paul holds many of those same principles is not lying to them. In fact, I view it as "You think you liked Reagan, just wait til you get a load of Paul - He's Reagan in words AND deeds.)

I'd love to see this somehow incorporating the Reagan quote. It could be a great piece for the Republican Leadership Conference and Reagan Centennial Celebration in New Orleans next week.

Bump! Would someone be able to incorporate the Reagan quote onto this poster for Debbie?

Actions speak louder than words. Reagan was a big government president who lived up to none of his former Goldwater principles.

Actions do speak louder than words. Reagan won the overwhelming approval of the public by using libertarian speaking points and won the White House. He also won the hearts of people who revere him to this day. We could do with just a bit of that magic right now.

Yup.

As an aside, I would nix the idea of the peace symbol. I think that would turnoff more Republicans than it would win. It's just the symbol that is the problem; not the idea of peace.

Freedom 101 I am also Libertarian and Reagan is no more conservative then I am Elvis reincarnate, but if plastering Gipper's face on a poster gets ppl to vote for RP, I say do it. Stick to your principles if you want to but don't try to sabotage our chance to win. If you want to educate people who think Bush kept us safe and Obama and Osama are brothers, you go do that. But follow Libertarian principles and leave ppl who feel different about campaign methods alone.
