Rick Santorum vs. Ronald Reagan
Rick Santorum, January 2012:
“I’m a conservative. I am a Reagan conservative. I am not a libertarian. And the people who are calling me a big government guy are libertarians.”
Ronald Reagan, July 1975:
“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.”
[There you have it…”Reagan conservative,” my ass…LOL…]
