Did you hear that?!?!"), when in actuality it is just twisting what he said. Emotional hyperbole is not a rational argument, and Rudy showed himself for the charlatan that he is when he pulled that.

I also notice most people shut up immediatley when faced with Ron Paul's use of a Reagan quote to describe his reasoning on staying OUT of the Middle East, though many are quick to use Reagan as a paradigm of Republican/"Conservative" action for fighting the terrorists. It seems many like to use Reagan when it is convenient for them, and pass it off when it isn't.
