Sorry, I don't care if you don't like Paul. But, you lose all credibility if you prefer Santorum over him.

We are a swing state. We always get attention at general election time. Again...disporportionate to our population.

Could someone explain -- with facts, and not headlines --- what's so awesome about Santorum? Hell, go ahead and impress me with Romney. Remember, FACTS and not repeating what others said on headlines.

Anyone see that sh1t on CNN when the troop started talking up Ron Paul saying "no more wars, we want peace"... and out of nowhwere the video feed starts to stumble then as he's about to go on a rant about Iran and it freakin cuts out!

"Uhhh, technical difficulties, lets to go the Romney campaign"

If Santorum wins, this was rigged.

Well, maybe not.

Rock Center did a segment on Bloom last night. He had to go in hiding after this article was published. msnbc.com Video Player

I'm here. I watched them physically count the votes. Santorum was second to Paul in both the precints I witnessed.

He's an extreme social, aka religous, conservative. Apparently that's enough. If they nominate this bigot, I will go out of my way to vote against him. If the GOP really wants the likes of this jackass, then they most definitely deserve to have thier asses handed to them.
