Reagan won in 1980. If you listened carefully to both of the mentioned clips, you would see less contradiction than is implied here. I wonder why there is no link above to the former one.

Funny how the kids turn out, isn't it? Ron and Patti are liberals. Only Michael turned out to be a snake.

Was Reagan being dishonest in 1965 or 1980?

Easy question. He was being dishonest in 1980.

I happened to favor the other piece of legislation and thought that it would be better for the senior citizens and provide better care than the one that was finally passed.

Utter, complete BS by St. Ronald the Good.
