We followed you before and you took us on the road to defeat.

Dewey had been the Republican Presidential Candidate in 1948. Although he and the Republicans were the overwhelming favorites, Dewey lost to Harry S Truman. In 1952, Dewey was a major supporter of Robert Taft for the Presidency. But other Republicans including Dirksen wanted Dwight D. Eisenhower as the candidate. Dewey had given a rousing speech telling the Party to nominate Taft. Dirksen then responded. Such a public rebuke of a former standard bearer was considered very insulting. However, Dirksen was saying what most Republicans believed. Despite an intense effort by Taft and the very conservative wing of the Party, Eisenhower was selected as the nominee and he won the Presidency.

Ron Paul

I didn’t think that I would ever get elected. After all, you don’t vote for somebody who is attacking Santa Claus.

He opposed all government bail outs, give always, and other programs where the government gave money to individuals or companies other than fair market value for work, products or services. A large number of Americans benefit from one or more of these programs so Paul viewed his position as “attacking Santa Claus.” There are many Americans who understand that there is a cost to all programs, and that great political debate in America is when the cost is worth it and when not. Even Paul came to oppose withdrawing the social safety net unless we could create other mechanisms.
