Changing the lives of Ron Paul, George W. Bush, and the Republican Party.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Why didn't McGovern lose and D'amato win?

Javits split D'Amatos vote. With Andersons campaign, people were more willing to vote third party. McGovern has a role later on, and I just wanted to keep him. He was crushed in OTL. I suppose I should change the 1980 SD Senate race, because McGovern really had no chance in hell of winning.

ThAt was my point.  .  Also, Javits split the liberal vote otl; many believe that D'Amato wouldn't have won if Javits didn't run third-party.  I'm not saying this to be a pest, I just thought you'd like to know.

Finally, THANK YOU FOR BUCKLEY's COMEBACK!  .  I don't care much for Chris Dodd

“Government is not the solution; government is the problem!”-Reagan inaugural address.
“No truer a sentence has been spoken”-Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) in response to the Reagan inaugural address.

“REAGAN NARROWLY ESCAPES ASSASSINS BULLET WITHOUT INJURY”-New York Times headline, March 31st, 1981.

“Congressman Paul and I strongly endorse the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 as the right course of action”-Congressman George Bush and Congressman Paul joint press conference, August 1981. Known as the “Texas Two”, Paul and Bush are rising stars among the right wing in the Republican Party.
From Wikipedia, Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981

“The Federal Reserve will only hinder this administration’s economic policy, and I strongly urge President Reagan to address Congressman Paul’s plan on restoring the country to the gold standard”-Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC).

“While President Reagan’s tax policies are to be admired, his spending policies are not.  I will not vote for his budget-in 1977, President Carter had a 38 Billion dollar deficit. Under this plan, the deficit would balloon to the extent that 38 Billion would be a blessing. Is this Conservative values at work?”-Ron Paul, on the 1981 Budget.

“With respect towards my colleague Ron Paul, I have to say, you’re just dead wrong and don’t know what you’re talking about. This plan is one of the most Conservative plans put forth”-Congressman Bushes response to Congressman Paul.

“The Liberal uproar over the Reagan budget far exceeded any Republican opposition. A small group of “RINO’s” masquerading as “conservatives” gathered around then Congressman Ron Paul. Paul inadvertently became the face of the so called “conservative” opposition to the true Conservative, President Reagan. This would be the first of many times that Paul’s principles would inadvertently undercut the administration”-True Conservative-The Presidency of Ronald Reagan © 2010, Sean Hannity.

“ARGENTINA INVADES FALKLANDS”-London Times headline, April 3rd, 1982.
“Mr. Speaker, I address the floor today to express my support for military action against the nation of England..pardon me, Argentina, in order, to eh, to force them back from the Falkland Islands which is located in the Pacific Ocean and is a colony of the United Kingdom…”-Congressman George Bush addresses the House of Representatives, April 8th, 1982.

“GOTCHA! NAVY SINKS ARGENTINE GUNBOAT BELGRANO”-The Sun headline, May 3rd, 1982.


“I will not order the military of the United States to intervene in the Falklands Crisis in any way, shape, or form, but would once again like to declare the United States solidarity with the United Kingdom, and promise humanitarian assistance in any way needed”-President Ronald Reagan, primetime address, May 12th, 1982.

“EVERS SCANDAL-SENATOR AND VP CANDIDATE INVOLVED WITH ORGANIZED CRIME IN 1950’S CHICAGO”-Jackson Clarion-Ledger , June 4th, 1982.


“These charges are disgusting, and I flat out deny them”-Senator Charles Evers, June 13th, 1982.

“One of the lowest times in my life was when I was accused by my the media, and even some of my fellow Republicans of being involved in organized crime. I had never once been with, never the less managed a prostitute. My years in Chicago were clean, and I did what I could to help the civil rights movement within Mississippi. Sadly, some of my fellow activist would choose to remember my conduct in a different way for their own political purposes”.-Have No Fear! © 2009, Charles Evers.

“The United States intervention in Lebanon has been, and will be, one of the worst mistakes made by this nation since Vietnam. Mark my words-we will not come out of this the way we went in”-Ron Paul, August 29th, 1982.

“Sometimes I think Congressman Paul has spent a little too much time in the heat. We need to intervene in a lot of these places simply because we can-that’s how were gonna beat the Evil Empire”-George W. Bush, September 1st, 1982.

Here is a hint for the 1982 elections---expect a former Vice President to make a showing

Awesome stuff. (reminds me of my format... )

Awesome.  Also, if Ron Paul wins the 1984 senate election in TX, I would consider that a great birthday present

That will come up. Whether he wins or persues the Governors office is the key

Awesome stuff. (reminds me of my format... )

I really like your format in A Second Chance This timeline would be way too hard to do in my favored day-by-day timeline format, and "history book" formatting is hard for me to write. This timeline is perfect for the format of interviews, speeches, and headlines.

Kals "Changing Lives" was the exact inspiration for this timeline, though I have always wanted to do a Ron Paul timeline.

Thanks I'm glad Paul will be make an impact. I won't spoil when he becomes President in my timeline, but it will be generally in the same era. I have some pictures of him from the late 80's that were kinda hard to find, if you would like them for your timeline as well

So liberal Republicanism lives on in Michigan. And Byrd decides to run for a third term in VA?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

So liberal Republicanism lives on in Michigan. And Byrd decides to run for a third term in VA?

I figured that since the country was turning towards the Democrats, Byrd would want to keep the seat out of their hands. He may have been concerned about his age, but he is still alive today, so in hindsight, he might have regretted leaving the Senate.

I thought Agnew making a failed return would fit in this timeline. Next update will focus on Grenada, and Lebanon. Paul and Bush will both have to decide if they want to risk their seats in Congress for one in the Senate, and will Paul try to primary Reagan...? DUH-DUH-DUN!
