Who's Reagan's Heir?

The Christian Science Monitor wants to know, who's the heir to FDR-Democrat-turned-FDR-Republican Reagan, Perry or Paul? Of course, it's the spending, taxing, spying, lying, forcibly vaccinating, corporatist warmonger Perry. By the way, as the CSM points out, Perry did Ron a favor by sending out his brilliant, brave, and true resignation letter from the Republican party, over the total fraud of Reaganism. Ron is the one consistent man in American politics, and that's consistency for sound money, peace, and freedom.

Robert Reich and Ronald Reagan Are on the Same Statist Page

Obama, Perry, Romney, Bachmann, et al., too. Only Ron Paul is different, and always has been.

Or Texan vs. Texan, points out Andrew Malcolm in the LA Times. (Or, as I'd put it,  corporatist warmonger vs. free-market man of peace.) Thanks to Joe Sansone.

UPDATE from Katherine Fedoryka:

"I watched the video you linked to. I was amused that after saying anyone could win the nomination, 'except maybe Ron Paul,' Dick Morris proceeded to refer to 'Ron' Santorum and, later, 'Ron' Cain. I think someone is having trouble hiding his terror."
