This one is pretty funny.


Rick Santorum Says Vote For Ron Paul If You Want Someone Who Voted Conservatively - YouTube

Guy: Explain why you voted for No Child Left Behind, Medicare Part D and 5 debt ceiling increases. What's limited government about that, sir?

Santorum: You should vote for Ron Paul. That's what you should do.

Sound advice, I'd say. Frothy made sense for the first time.

Well he seemed to have issues w/ public schools also so I have to give him some credit on that. I agree vote for RP.

My issue with the public schools is that they dumb the students down with policies like NCLB, which Santorum happened to vote for. I would like to see the entire public school system dismantled and property taxes abolished. (Or at least an option to opt out of not paying property taxes, if I don't intend to use the public schools for my children.)

Santorum's issue with the public schools is that they make a person less "Godly" (i.e. they might learn science and math and stop believing in the Bible voodoo magic).

Different things.

I was referring to his supposed comment in ref to socialization. Public schools have many issues w/ quality socialization. I agree about the education and funding. I think parents should have the right to educate as they see fit both financially and legally (referring to taxes here and in some places laws). Taxes are a whole other issue also.

He can't even keep his cool under mild pressure, and he is running for President? Wasn't that part of why he was voted out of the Senate, that he would snap on voters who had both legitimate concerns and decided to peacefully protest.

At least he doesn't just resort to a defensive laugh most of the time, I guess that would show how souless of a man he really is.

I would bet that before the video he was harassing Santorum pretty good about Ron Paul's better policies. Still, this looks bad for Santorum.

Santorum is a fiscal liberal and a social conservative. So Santorum will not only blow taxpayer money, but will also regulate your sex life. How bad is that combination? That's even worse than Obama.

Apparently he can't hire someone or be bothered to fill out paper work either.

Kinda like Geithner. Although, recently may actually be some justice or at least feigning of it.
