Paul is fighting Romney in places like Maine and Idaho. Less in places Paul is going for proportional delegates, because Romney’s squish establishment voters aren’t going to vote for Paul on hearing his record. Santorum and Gingrich have some people deluded they are conservative. That deserves to be attacked.

The “we’re-not-in-cahoots” ad. lol

….came pretty quick, didn’t it?

.
and SCOTUS will make the call on Obiecare as well. Thats how it works.

FlaMurph on February 29, 2012 at 5:57 PM

Not really. The states can – and should – invoke nullification.

If Paul seriously wants to prove he’s not protecting his son’s place on Romney’s VP shortlist, he’ll have to do more than recirculate an ad that reproaches Romney. Just as he consistently calls out Santorum

Personally I think Ron Paul should concentrate on winning votes rather than disproving conspiracy theories spread by one of his more dishonest opponents, but I do agree he should go after Romney harder.

I believe Santorum would do something about abortion.

Paul? Who knows, in reality he’s never done anything.

I read this stuff and wonder what planet people are on.

Rick Santorum as president will do the same thing about abortion that Romney would . ZIP

the supreme court says its legal.Roe versus Wade will not be overturned even if either one can get more conservative judges.

Rusty Allen on February 29, 2012 at 5:30 PM

Ditto.

Gingrich and Cain helped each other early in the race, for example. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.

how’s that working out?…for the both of them?

Shinty, you make good points, thanks for the diologue.

Shinty, that’s the line that Ron Paul walks. He claims to be the most pro-life but then chooses his libetarianism over the unborn. My point with Santorum is that he makes incindiary remarks about birth control which render him ineffective. Birth control will never be illegal, and I get that. I’m all for them putting their money where there mouths are and say you will campaign to repeal roe v wade. But Dantorum says something is not okay, and then says it’s will just remain not okay. Why even bring it up?

Rusty Allen on February 29, 2012 at 5:17 PM

I didn’t think Santorum was that incendiary, but he is a bit awkward, isn’t he? And the media (and Paul, apparently) will not let a conservative slide.

While I’m no Paul fan, I do respect the fact the he is sincere in wanting to have our laws comport with our Constitution rather than with his bible.

MJBrutus on February 29, 2012 at 5:14 PM

I think there’s more overlap between the two than most would give credit for.

If I thought Paul was serious and had the capacity to make constitutional government happen, I would have much more respect for him.

As it is, I’m just tired of him taking out the more conservative combatant when the chips are down.

Rusty Allen on February 29, 2012 at 5:17 PM

He was just making chit chat. Ask JannyMae, she’ll set you straight.

I have to wonder what lies you pull out of your nether regions to try and smear Santorum with next. Stay classy.

JannyMae on February 29, 2012 at 5:17 PM

Look it up. Bipolar disorder. I’ve seen it a hundred times. And you appear to be dealing with a touch of cognitive dissonance, but maybe it’s just contrariness.

I have to wonder what lies you pull out of your nether regions to try and smear Santorum with next. Stay classy.

JannyMae on February 29, 2012 at 5:14 PM

You’re right. It isn’t as though PBHO showed us how badly a POTUS can screw up our lives in the most personal and intrusive ways without Congressional involvement. I’m sure Santo won’t lift a finger to effect any of the things he obsesses over and talks about every darned day.

That’s the point,he says one thing because he has to. But he would really like to impose what he believes.

Rusty Allen on February 29, 2012 at 5:03 PM

So, despite evidence that debunks your claims, you cling to your OPINION that he wants to legislate his beliefs? So, tell me, then, how, exactly, would he go about doing that, as president?

You are also hysterical and need a chill pill.

shinty on February 29, 2012 at 5:12 PM

While I’m no Paul fan, I do respect the fact the he is sincere in wanting to have our laws comport with our Constitution rather than with his bible.

The remarks about satan were not in a political context. They were at a university, and they prove absolutely nothing about him wanting to legislate his morality. Nothing whatsoever.

As for the abortion issue, I saw Santorum criticized here on HotAir because he favored the Hyde Amendment:

“The Hyde Amendment allows rape, incest, life of the mother. That is the common ground we could get, and I would support that.”
—2006 Senate debate

Now, more recently he has said he doesn’t support abortion for rape and incest, but I haven’t seen anything about “life of the mother.” Even if he does have that personal viewpoint, do you think he’d ever get that through congress, if he becomes president?

You’re hysterical. Take a chill pill or something.

That’s the point,he says one thing because he has to. But he would really like to impose what he believes.

Rusty Allen on February 29, 2012 at 5:03 PM

Unlike Paul, who’s never ‘imposed’ what he says he believes.

(Santorum) wants to amend the Constitution to criminalize all abortion, from Plan B to rape, incest and when the life of the mother is threatened.

Paul claims to be pro-life, but maybe he’s somehow been too pure over the years to do anything about it while in congress.

I believe Santorum would do something about abortion. Paul? Who knows, in reality he’s never done anything.
