Santorum Slams Obama & Romney at CPAC, Receives Standing Ovation & Roaring Applause

Rick Santorum Gets Standing Ovation During CPAC 2012 Address

Rick Santorum, joined by his family, waves after speaking to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, Friday, Feb. 10, 2012. He is joined by his wife Karen at right.

Fresh off the heels of his major victories in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri, Rick Santorum sought to solidify himself as the true conservative option during his CPAC 2012 address today in Washington, D.C. Throughout his nearly-30-minute speech, he attempted to convince the audience that he’s the candidate who best reflects their values. The Hill’s Cameron Joseph called it “one of the strongest speeches of his presidential campaign.”

While Santorum didn’t mention Romney by name, he did target him for his purportedly moderate stances. Additionally, he slammed the former Massachusetts governor’s comments about the poor and dismissed Romney as the candidate with “the most money to beat up their opponent and win the election.” Additionally, he denigrated the health care plan Romney implemented in his state as ”the stepchild of ObamaCare.”

Santorum also had a message for many in the media and in conservative circles who have contended that the race is over and that Romney will be the eventual nominee: Don’t fall for the argument that the party ”need[s] to compromise“ and ”do what’s politically reasonable and go out and push someone forward who can win.”

“We will no longer abandon and apologize for the policies and principles that made this country great for a hollow victory in November,” the candidate proclaimed.

“We won in 2010 because conservatives rallied,” Santorum said, in reference to GOP victories during the midterm elections. “They were excited about the candidates who were put forth.”

Watch Part I of his address, below:

And here’s Part II:

Santorum also took Obama to task over the contraceptive mandate (which the president has now amended), telling the audience that it has little to do with women’s health. As a result of his words, he received furious applause and a standing ovation.

“This is the kind of coercion we can expect. It’s not about contraception. It’s about economic liberty, it’s about freedom of speech, it’s about freedom of religion,” he said. “It‘s about government control of your lives and it’s gotta stop.”

“Government will own you because you will have to pay tribute to Washington in order to get the care you need for your children,” Santorum said. “The major reason I’m in this race is because I believe Obamacare is a game-changer for America.”

In an electoral race that is inching closer to the wire, Santorum’s efforts to create a rift between himself and Romney — the latter of whom many conservatives do, indeed, see as too moderate for their tastes — may be paying off. The candidate is making a waves across America, as support for him seems to be ramping up. FOX News has more regarding recent poll numbers that show Santorum’s increase in viability:

In interviews conducted on Monday and Tuesday nights — immediately before the news of his victories — Santorum received the backing of 17 percent of GOP primary voters. That was well behind Romney (35 percent) and Newt Gingrich (26 percent), and slightly ahead of Ron Paul (14 percent).

In interviews conducted on Wednesday and Thursday nights — after his wins — Santorum’s support nearly doubled, which put him tied at the top with Romney for those two days at 30 percent. That’s an increase of 13 percentage points. Over the last two nights, Romney also received 30 percent, a drop of 5 points. Gingrich came in at 16 percent, down 10 points. Paul’s support held steady at 15 percent.

Looking at the results from all four nights of this week’s interviewing, Romney retains his frontrunner spot with 33 percent, followed by Santorum at 23 percent, Gingrich at 22 percent and Paul at 15 percent.

Santorum delivered his address just hours before Romney was set to give his pitch to the conservative activists and journalists present at this year’s event.

    Again, you must not have heard the full speech of Rick.
    You and your pals are the reason we got Dole, MCcain, Bush, and Obama and if they keep it up Romney.

    You need to realize there is a lot more of us then you. Yes that is the facts and truth.

    This whole lie that conservatives need to push to the left and elect someone who is a Rino, or democrat in wolfs clothing is false. This was something right out of the liberal rule book to control the elections and candidates for president.

    For the conservatives that actually believe in this B.S.
    Just think, when did this statement of moving to the left actually pan out ?
    Obama has no leg to stand on except fraud and trying to fix the election. Why would we want to give in, especially when this election is considered the most important in this country’s exsistentence ?

      True enough. We need to be opposed to Obama not just another version of him. I know Romney is big government and Newt sure isn’t small government. Rick is the best we have and I support him! We need to keep going for the most conservative candidate everytime. If we do we’ll start coming back towards the correct direction. If we keep supporting these false conservatives eventually we’ll be choosing them by the way they look, because their policies will be the same.

      In 1871 The United States became a Corporation.

      In 1912 the Corp. went to the Global Elite (banksters) for a “loan”

      In 1913 the “federal reserve act” was passed. Income tax became law in ALL states then, and Gold could NOT be Redeemed at banks for currency or vice-versa.

      The federal reserve is no more federal than FEDERAL EXPRESS !

      In 1933 the “Emergency Banking Act” was passed.
      “Corp U.S.” defaulted on the loan and declared bankruptcy.

      The “Gov’t” gave the PRIVATE federal reserve bank all of it’s gold to absolve the debt.
      It was not enough.

      Under emergency powers and martial law demanded citizens turn in their gold.
      It was not enough.

      The “Corp U.S.” Pledged it’s GOVERNMENT Branches and Agencies, IT’S LAND, and IT PEOPLE as COLLATERAL to the PRIVATE BANK for that bankruptcy.

      Birth certificates became law in all states in 1933 and Social Security in 1936.
      These are Security bonds for the receivers of the bankruptcy to hold under a International lien.

      They told the banksters you would pay a percentage of your LIFES EARNINGS towards the debt and insolvency of 1933.

      In 1944, the Lien was transfered to the IMF which created the United Nations the next year.

      They have been holding the lien ever since, and turned our Country into a literal Corporation.

      In 1992 AGENDA 21 and Executive Order 12803 – The INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATIZATION ACT was born.

      Nafta began in 1994.

      The real scoop about the primary: Do not count out Ron Paul. His supporters are intelligent, well organized and understand the process better than most especially with the new rules. He has a lot more delegates at this point than the establishment media will report. This is all because of his loyal supporters who are willing to stay and become delegates. We are most likely going to see a brokered convention, which we have not had for a very long time, where even the hard delegates do not have to vote for the candidate who won that state. They will be able to vote for anyone they want. I know that there are and will be Paul supporters as delegates in all states. We know that Paul supporters will not be swayed from him, how do you feel about your candidates delegate loyalty?

      Rick’s past proves all he is doing today is telling you what you want to hear. He‘s a shape shifter and he’s certainly not a conservative.

      Rick Santorum: A Massively Expanded Welfare State is ‘The Genuine Conservatism our Founders Envisioned’

      “What was my vision? I came to the uncomfortable realization that conservatives were not only reluctant to spend government dollars on the poor, they hadn’t even thought much about what might work better. I often describe my conservative colleagues during this time as simply ‘cheap liberals.’ My own economically modest personal background and my faith had taught me to care for those who are less fortunate, but I too had not yet given much thought to the proper role of government in this mission”

      “I suspect some will dismiss my ideas as just an extended version of ‘compassionate conservatism.’ Some will reject what I have said as a kind of ‘Big Government Conservatism.’ Some will say that what I’ve tried to argue isn’t conservatism at all. But I believe what I’ve been presenting is the genuine conservatism our Founders envisioned. One that fosters the opportunity for all Americans to live as we are called to live, in selfless families that contribute to the general welfare, the common good”

      That sounds like Marx, not Jefferson.

      “Rick Santorum is ethical, conservative, and moral, and honorable.”
      Santorum? Riiiiiiiiight!
      Why is Santorum bashing Newt instead of going after Romney? Could it be that Jim Talent works on Romneys campaign that Santorum may be worried about what will come out if he pushes Romney too hard, you see.. Santorum is not the little holy roller he claims to be, he comes off with his holier than thou attitude but the guy has some skeletons in his closet, so much so it makes Newt look like a Sunday School Teacher, For a few examples; Santorum “stole” $72,000 from cash strapped Penn Hills (PA) School District to cyberschool five of his kids while they were living in their $500,000 mansion in the Leesburg, VA area; money he refused to return. Santorum also created the America’s Foundation PAC to help GOP candidates; spending only 18% of the money for those candidates. The remaining 82% was spent at Starbucks (66 trips there), Wal-Mart, Target and Giant Super Markets. Guess a man does have to feed his family. And, Santorum’s mode of travel? A Wal-Mart corporate jet. Folks like to talk about Newt’s sins of the flesh, but they don’t like to hear that greed and avarice are sins that God hates…. and the K Street project was indeed greed. Folks don’t like to hear that Santorum, Talent, and Foley cost us the Senate in 2006, and that this led to Harry Reid taking over as the Senate power broker.

      They seem to forget that Talent (again, who works for Mitt Romney’s campaign) and Santorum covered up the scandal. Just because Tim Russert is dead doesn‘t mean that his warning about the Foley scandal costing Republicans the Senate in 2006 can’t be found on the internet and that scandal caused evangelicals to stay home and let the Democrats wins the Senate. It also set the stage for 2008.
      Funny how the cover-up of the Ensign scandal never makes it to the ears of Santorum supporters… they are too busy screaming about Newt‘s divorces to see that Santorum keeps being involved in everyone else’s…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgjb6UZZ_EA&feature=youtu.be

      “Rick Santorum is campaigning this fall, especially in the Jewish community, on his hard-lined position against Iran. But when Senator Santorum has had three separate opportunities to actually stand up against Iran and block U.S. companies from doing any kind of business with the terrorist nation, he has balked each time,“ ”It is easy to take the lead on pro-Israel measures that pass the Senate by unanimous consent. It is much harder, however, to take on powerful corporations that coddle countries which deny the Holocaust and argue that Israel should be wiped from the map. Pennsylvania voters would be wise to take Senator Santorum’s positions on Iran and terrorism with a grain of salt. His record just doesn’t match his rhetoric.” http://www.pjvoice.com/v16/16105santorum.html

The only Republican I voted for in the past was Bush in his second term as I hoped that he would get us out of the war and was willing to hold my nose and vote for him….big mistake. Hay I have some Democratic mistakes too. Gore and Carter to think of two. But anyway if you will, tell me.

      Who decides who is a Rino? Took me some time to figure what that meant. Is there someone, a Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval group, or something?

      Who decides who is a conservative? To me all the candidates are social conservatives. Some more than I can stand. I am sorry but I do not care a damn about social conservatism, I want Fiscal conservatives. The only one I would hire and I have hired many managers would be Romney. Has any of the others even ran a business other than a political organization? If they have I would love to hear about it and check their company out.

      Now if we are looking for a Pope, a Pastor, or leader of the funny farm, one of the others may do.

      Senator RICK SANTORUM (“It Takes a Family”): They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do. Government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulation low and that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues, you know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world, and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can’t go it alone, that there is no such society that I‘m aware of where we’ve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture.

      MS-GLENNBC,

      Mark Levin had no idea what he was talking about yesterday. I usually listen to him on the way home but I am reconsidering that.

      Here is were Levin was full of crap:
      Romney supported TARP under Bush as a safety net to ward of large runs on the bank, not just the banks going under. Go watch “Its a Wonderful Life” if everyone went on a run at the banks the dollar would have collapsed. I don’t like bailouts, Romney said at the time he was oppose to them, but we needed to make sure the dollar stayed strong. We couldn’t let Soros collapse another dollar :) So Levin was right that Romney supporting that, it is not unconstitutional though.

      Levin said he was for Cap and Trade and Global Warming, he has never been for this and fought it in Massachusetts, the RGGI was an initiative to use cap and trade in 9 New England states and Romney was one of two to reject it. He has also been consistent to say he doesn’t know about Global Warming, that is while Gingrich has made statements supporting it and even agreed with Gore about what “needed to be done.” So Levin was wrong on this part.

      And RomneyCare, under his plan, as he signed it, after vetoing 8 sections from it, it would not have raised cost for the state. The legislature overrode those vetoes by 90% and added on to it. Levin supports the Heritage Foundation, then he needs to read their reports on it on how the Democrats changed the bill and destroyed it, creating an employer mandate ( which Santorum supported in 1996) and they expanded the individual mandate to pay for insurance or get a fine. This is all on the Heritage Foundations’ website who Levin still supports. Romney‘s plan wouldn’t have raised costs and would have had an opt-out, but the Dems destroyed it.

      Levin has made so many false accusations about Romney but when I call, the call screener tells me they aren’t interested or puts me on hold as if I am going to be called upon, doesn’t take my name, leaves me on for hours and then lets me go saying there is no time… funny how that works out.

      If Romney wins the nominations, King Hussein’s election will be simple. Attack his religion with all the wild stories of the white snake and the goat and turn the other Christians away from the polls. No one is going to go to the polls and vote for a man that believes his Latter Day Saint received his divine message in the woods from a goat or a snake. Two symbols that are both held as Satanic. Of course the message was good, depending on your views. Caffeine is bad, smoking is bad and multiple wives are good. Matter of fact it’s the only way to ensure you can become a God of your own world. Scientology doesn’t sound so far fetched after hearing the tales of the LDS. Any one ready to change their mind on Romney yet? The stories will be all over the MSM and once the propaganda has set in to the other Christians they will stay home and not vote, just as they did in 2008 when McCain a moderate ran against King Hussein.

      Rick Santorum: A Massively Expanded Welfare State is ‘The Genuine Conservatism our Founders Envisioned’

      “What was my vision? I came to the uncomfortable realization that conservatives were not only reluctant to spend government dollars on the poor, they hadn’t even thought much about what might work better. I often describe my conservative colleagues during this time as simply ‘cheap liberals.’ My own economically modest personal background and my faith had taught me to care for those who are less fortunate, but I too had not yet given much thought to the proper role of government in this mission”

      “I suspect some will dismiss my ideas as just an extended version of ‘compassionate conservatism.’ Some will reject what I have said as a kind of ‘Big Government Conservatism.’ Some will say that what I’ve tried to argue isn’t conservatism at all. But I believe what I’ve been presenting is the genuine conservatism our Founders envisioned. One that fosters the opportunity for all Americans to live as we are called to live, in selfless families that contribute to the general welfare, the common good”

      Yes, the founders believed that a moral people is necessary for the survival of the public. They also believed in as Santorum would describe it, “radical individuality”.

      You cannot legislate a population into being moral. Just like the economy, the government cannot solve moral problems. It can only create an environment in which they can be solved. And just like the economy, trying to force a solution only makes the problem worse. Trying to force morality in regulations on the people will only make them outlaws, and resentful towards your efforts to restore morality. As much as I am absolutely disgusted by the lack of morality in today’s culture, I am equally disgusted by the so-called attempts to restore morality by government officials grabbing more power for themselves.

      My 2 cents. Santorum believes earmarks are a normal course of negotiations, legislation, funding etc. Some would call him a RINO since he does not take a firm stand against it. I don’t see that as a winning platform though. I also sense he feels there is a segment of the Tea Party that is actually a libertarian movement flying under the Tea Party radar. He’s probably right to a degree. He has made his move with that group as a conservative and draws a clear distinction. Libertarians will use generic terms like smaller gov, freedom rights etc. In many circles that means legalized pot, no defense, no federal spending etc. Finding the middle is key and it would appear RS is striking a chord. Can he get elected? I believe so as can Obama and Romney. I think Gingrich is done.

      I watched your video and I don’t think there was enough of it there to fully have a good conversation about it. What Rick means about earmarks is that he feels they are good IF you are helping the state you represent. Earmarks were never originally intended to do what they have ended up doing. And I have to agree with him about Libertarians. My main objection to them is that they don’t believe in war. And unfortunately, war has been going on since the beginning of time. Sometimes, like in the case of Iran, one CANNOT negotiate with them, period. If they continue to build nuclear weapons, then Israel is GONE and so are WE! This is what makes war necessary. There are just too many threatening forces out there for us NOT to have a good solid military to defend us. I do not believe in legalizing drugs-Libertarians do. Those are the two main objections I have to Libertarians. I hope this helps you.

      Bobbie, libertatians at the federal level are not acvocating for “legalizing drugs”. They are advocating to retun the power to control or not control substances to the states, where our Constitution says it belongs. The federal government has no business illegalizing drugs. It doesn’t matter that drugs are terrible; any overstep in federal power has far worse consequences. In addition to that, the federal war on drugs turns somple, selfish drug abusers into fullblown violent felons and inflames the violence on our border that is resulting in the brutal slaughter of many innocent people, which the terrorists are feeding off of.

      Libertatians also don’t believe in no national defense. National defense is the federal governent’s responsibility as per the Constitution. They believe in a streamlined, less wasteful military force that actually plays a DEFENSIVE role rather than an AGGRESIVE role, which is what we do now. Libertarian defense policy would station our military along our borders in order to deal with the HORRORS that are happening along them, rather than recklessly waging war in sovereign nations that we have not even declared war on.

      Libertarians believe in the Constitution, unlike everyone else. Do not confuse us with anarchists, who believe in nothing. Government is like a fire, keep it small and in control, and it is good. Let it grow out of control and it will consume you and all around you.

      prostitution and drugs were not illegal when the country was founded. It was made so much later. Also, slavery was legal at the time, so your assumptions of morals are factually incorrect. The federal government has no business dealing with moral issues. The states are responsible. Local people making local laws that fit with the common beliefs and priorities of the citizens of their state.
      Government agents killing people and their families, long term incarceration. These are the results of the federal policies. The harm posed by drugs is nothing compared to the harm the war on drugs has caused.

    Obamascare solves one problem, the employee-employer relationship. It terminates it. Soon, all employees will be independent contractors, essentially, unemployed. This also gets the poor out from under the burden of FICA and income taxes completely. This nicely consolidates political power – those who pay taxes (soon to be corporations only) have the political power.

    That’s why the rich get their way today – they are the only ones paying taxes.

    I never liked the attitude or saying “anyone but Obama or Bush” because it always leads to someone worse. First thing: I pray to God that we have a fair election and make it past December without civil unrest and Marshall law. However, the way Obama and company are acting, I think they don’t plan on leaving and are going to take over for good.
    I don’t know about you all but I have been praying daily and still losing sleep. Something is on the verge of happening and it’s either real bad or really good! Either way, it will make the last 4 years seem like a walk in the park.

    Does it seem strange to anyone that this Catholic contraception issue has suddenly taken center stage when Santorum starts to move up in the polls? Rush Limbaugh on his show a few minutes ago said “Who is PERFECTLY situated in this issue?” (answer: Santorum) That’s the problem with it. It’s just TOOOOO PERFECT!
    Put these pieces together: This birth control/abortion issue suddenly gets released by the Obama administration. Santorum always seems weak. Santorum lost by a wide margin his 3rd term in PA to DEMOCRAT, Bob Casey. Don’t get me wrong, I kind of like Santorum, but he’s a LOSER. Who could possibly want our nominee to be a LOSER???? Who wants us to get all riled up about freedom of religion and supporting Catholics in that fight when the economy should be the main issue right now? Again who is PERFECTLY situated for this fight? Who else smells a rat? A rat named Obama?

    As Rush says: “Don’t doubt me.”

Well, either way it is stupid. Obama has been trying to take all power for the executive branch since he got elected. He campaigned on hating Christians, and pushing abortion! We’re gun loving Bible thumpers remember; clinging to our guns and religion? One of the first bills he signed was to reverse the prolife law requiring babies that are born alive after abortion attempt receive medical care. He just wants to tear down this country as much as possible before we toss him out. He knows we want him gone and doubts his re-election. Why would anyone be surprised at this stuff!?

      I’ve said for a long time the GOP better move off the economy being the cornerstone of the election. Whether it really is getting better is debateable, but you can count on it getting better in the media no matter what. Someone needs to pivot from the economy to social issues, liberties, the constitution, government intrusion etc. It sounds like what you are saying is that the Dems are using this as a red herring to pull Santorum up. You could be right but they do that at their own peril. No one on the GOP side compares to the current group in any category relative to spending, social issues, size of government etc etc. A GOP house and a GOP Senate will handle any of the GOP presidential nominees in due course. They are still part of the problem however.

      COTTONMPG, yes, I am suggesting that Obama wants Santorum to get the nomination – not win the presidential election! Obama knows he can beat Santorum. Can you imagine debates between Santorum and Obama? What a snoozefest! They can both ramble on about nothing for hours! I also am suggesting that Obama wants us to get off track from the economy. The economy is Obama’s weak point, and there is nothing liberals love to argue more about than social issues. None of this Obamacare/abortion/contraception/etc. is of any importance if the Supreme Court throws out Obamacare as being unconstitutional, which is what will probably happen.

He thinks it’s no different than it was before Obummer opened his mouth. The whole contraception thing is NOT about contraception, it is about VIOLATING our Constitution. Rush says Obummer cannot make his order stick! There is a law about violating our Constitution.(my words here) The people are not as stupid as Obummer would like to think we are. Of those running, Santorum is the most conservative choice. If Rush’s brother David Limbaugh endorses Santorum, which he did, then it’s good enough for me!

It seems his sole purpose is to confuse people. Surely he is not one of those “undecided” voters! He claims that he is trying to remain “objective” so that people can make up their own minds, but he is the most opinionated person out there! All he is doing is bashing each one of our candidates and then praising each one. It feels like he is incrementally manipulating us. He needs to either crap or get off the pot. He needs to tell his listeners which candidate he likes so that WE can remain objective while listening to his show. I respect Glenn for telling us that he supports Santorum, and I can carefully consider his opinion without feeling like I’m being manipulated. Rush is losing me.

    Rick Santorum is ethical, conservative, and moral, and honorable. These are the qualities in a man that prove who the man is. This campaign is about the issues, not who has the most money, just as he said. Isn’t it time conservatives supported the real conservative, not those who background history and past expressed views betray conservativism? Personally, I see this as the very last FREE ELECTION the American people will ever participate in if we don’t choose the right man to oppose Marxism. Santorum or Marxism, which will we choose.

Romney had louder applauses, more standing ovations, and more cheers than anyone else yet to speak at CPAC, even Santorum. Don’t get me wrong, Santorum is my second choice, but Romney really took Obama to task, clarified the distortions of his record, and showed the clear contrast of why Conservatives are coming to support Romney once more, including the Tea Party.

    Santorum gave a good speech, but Romney’s was excellent and I think just what was needed. Clear contract to his opponents and Obama… Mitt Romney.

      Even though you agree with my statement, I actually disagree with you, Rick Santorum is a strong social conservative, but so is Romney, fighting against gay marriage, against every pro-choice bill that crossed his desk, trying to free the Catholic Church from covering contraception. That is why Mass Citizens for Life and the Vatican Envoy chose Romney over the other two Catholics running. Actually if you look at all the states Romney won, he won the Evangelical, Catholic, and Tea Party votes.

      I do agree we need someone with experience turning around economies and Romney has that, dozens of times over. This race is about the economy, but the candidate has to have Conservative cores so those issues will change. Romney has both covered.

If all someone can do is talk about someone else that tells me there is something there they do not want me to see about their self. get you head out of the sand. If Romney represents the tea party then I will have not part in the tea party!

      Can you please explain this statement by Romney?

      Romney and his wife say he will protect a woman’s right to choose.

      Can we finally be over the stupid comments about Mitt is pro life now. Mitt has shown that he will change to whatever position he needs to fit the election.

      @martinez012577,

      Folks bring up these sound bytes of when Romeny was running in Mass, he said then that he would not ‘change’ their laws, that was what the dem fears were, he was telling them he would not.

      But he also did not push their adgenda, he did nothing that was pro-choice, his work was in favor of life.

      I don’t like that he felt like he had to go so far to express that, but I doubt you get elected in a state like that when folks think you are a right winger that will go in and destroy what ‘you’ feel correct.

      Folks sure look at these sound bytes, but don’t look at his record. I contend that Romney did showed the dems/libs in that state more conservatism than they have ever seen. He showed them what the conservative philosophy could do to a liberal state.

      TearParty,
      In 2004, the MA Supreme Court ruled that the state’s marriage law was unconstitutional — but the Court did not rule, contrary to what is claimed, that gay marriage must be legalized and that the state constitution contains a “right” to marry. Yet, as soon as the ruling was issued, Romney commanded state agencies, by executive order, to start issuing marriage licenses to homosexual couples.
      In December 2005, Romney required all Massachusetts hospitals, including Catholic ones, to provide emergency contraception to rape victims, even though some Catholics view the morning-after pill as a form of abortion.
      He said he was acting on his legal counsel’s interpretation of a new state law – one passed by lawmakers despite his veto – but he also said that “in his heart of hearts,’’ he believed that rape victims should have access to emergency contraception.
      Some Catholic leaders now point to inconsistency in Romney’s criticism of the president and characterize his new stance as politically expedient, even as they welcome it.

    Ricky boy you don‘t even qualify for multiple state’s ballots. You were eliminated from this race back in December. Both you and Newt. So all you are doing now is taking votes away from Ron Paul, SOMEONE WHO DID QUALIFY FOR EVERY BALLOT, and is the only candidate that actually has a chance of defeating Romney.

    Let alone the only candidate that will actually SHRINK THE GOD DAMN GOVERNMENT. Not grow it in the name of “smaller government” like you establishment republicans.

If you are anything else, stop piggybacking off of the Republican Party. Run independently and get out of the way!

      Santorum is as terrible as Gingrish and Romney:

      Senator RICK SANTORUM (“It Takes a Family”): They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do. Government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulation low and that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues, you know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world, and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can’t go it alone, that there is no such society that I‘m aware of where we’ve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture.

      Little Ronnie Paul and his little schemers have a plan…

      Why would (as an example) would long time staunch Ron Paul supporters, align this year with Mitt Romney? All of them saw the same thing happening… long time Ron Paul groupies working to become delegates to the convention pledging to support Mitt Romney and others.

      If the field stays fractured at this level, with only a few people, but each getting delegates enough to prevent the front runner from an outright majority, there will be a second vote at the Republican National Convention.

      Delegates are only locked in for their candidate during the first vote. After the first vote, they can vote for whoever they want. So if Mitt Romney is unable to clear an outright majority on the first ballot, suddenly he could see some of his delegates turn on him… turn and go back to Ron Paul.

      It is a pretty slick strategy premised on a convention where no one gets majority support early. It plays well to a primary calendar where the delegates are first awarded proportionally. Who knows if it is a campaign strategy or just his groupies being smart little Ronnie schemers, but the Paul campaign has been active now for four years trying to take over local parties.

      Arrogance is a dangerous trait.
      You assume that anyone who disagrees with you is ignorant and misinformed. What makes you so perfect?
      It’s nice to be at the top of Maslow”s Hierarchy of Needs (at least if you think so), but it means nothing if you push your candidate with careless abandon and belittle anyone who disagrees with you. That tact gains no traction and makes Ron Paul less of an option for folks who haven’t made a decision yet. But keep punching and kicking.

      I’d be happy to point out the similarities between Paul and other historical figures who capitalized on a struggling nation to take control. Their minions were equally devoted and loyal. The difference is significant, you folks assume everyone is stupid and have been lulled into a false sense of security. The push back you are seeing here and elsewhere is testimony that average folks are not as stupid as you think. You may have good intentions, but your tactics and your posture run counter to American individualism. “Tell me what I should think, and I will tell you what shall work…” Do some research and get back to me and tell me who said that…
