Club for Growth: Ron Paul’s Economic Plan “Spectacular”

“Ron Paul’s is actually spectacular and he’s got the track record to back it up. He wants to cut a trillion dollars right off the bat and then cut some more going further. He wants to get rid of five agencies. He wants to get rid of corporate subsidies. He wants to get rid of a lot of foreign aid. It’s very impressive, what he’s got, and I think he means it.”

Truthiness! Does this mean that Club for Growth is aligning themselves with "progressive" goals?

No, Ron Paul signed Grover Norquist's pledge.

He signed it in 2008 too: http://www.atr.org/rep-ron-paul-signs-presidential-taxpayer-a1489
