Santorum’s Quick Response to Ron Paul Mic Trouble: ‘It Caught You Not Telling The Truth’

Heated rivals Rick Santorum and Ron Paul exchanged early pleasantries in Saturday night’s ABC News/WMUR Republican presidential debate from New Hampshire.
As Texas Rep. Paul began to answer a question from ABC moderator George Stephanopoulos following a tense exchange with the former Pennsylvania senator, Rep. Paul’s microphone let out a feedback screech halting his sentence just after citing an article that listed Santorum as a “corrupt” politician.
Santorum quickly responded to the timing of the technical malfunction with; “It caught you not telling the truth, Ron.”
Paul was defending an ad that his campaign is currently running in South Carolina, which among other criticisms, notes that Santorum was named “one of the most corrupt members of Congress.”
The study which called Santorum corrupt was conducted by CREW, Citizens for Repsonsibility and Ethics in Washington, to which Santorum says ”If you haven’t been attacked by CREW, you’re not a conservative.”
Take a listen to Santorum’s quick response, and the audience’s reaction to the tiff between the two candidates most closely following front-runner Mitt Romney in New Hampshire polls.

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 12:10amLets compare Santorum’s Career to Paul’s
Santorum got a B.A. in political science from Pennsylvania State University, a
M.B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh and a
Juris Doctorate degree from the Dickinson School of Law then
began practicing in Pittsburgh at the law firm Kirkpatrick & Lockhart, now known as K&L Gates. Representing the World Wrestling Federation while with K&L, Santorum argued that professional wrestling should be exempt from federal anabolic steroid regulations because it was not an actual sport, rather, entertainment.
At age 32 elected to the House of Representatives U.S. Senate (1995-2007) after his defeat in the Senate he became a Lobbyist.
Ron Paul, Doctor of Medicine getting his degree from Duke University’s School of Medicine, then doing his medical internship at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, after that he served as a flight surgeon in the United States Air Force and then in the United States Air National Guard. After his service he became a
obstetrics and gynecology, and then began his own private practice delivering over 4000 babies. In between this he has served as a Congress for the Texas’s 14th congressional district.

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 12:37amI have a question. Tonight Ron Paul said that it would be unconstitutional for a state to ban contraceptives, because it would violate the commerce clause. Basically saying that if it’s sold in one state, it would have to be sold in another under the Constitution. So by following that logic, if you legalized drugs and it’s sold in one state, then you would have to sell it in another state.
I thought he wanted to legalize drugs on the Federal level and then leave it up to the states on whether or not they wanted to legalize drugs. But again if you follow his logic and drugs were to become legal in California, it would then be unconstitutional for other states to not allow the sell of drugs because it would violate the commerce clause. Point being I believe alot of his stances on the Constitution are flat out wrong.
Like people who are not American citizens having Constitutional rights.
Report Post »That states have the right to mandate you buy something.
He also said that there is a right to privacy. Does that mean that he thinks that Roe v Wade is Consititutional?

Welfare recipients would lose their benefits because of failure to pass drug test. If I’m involved in any auto accident – I am going to demand that the all involved take a drug and alcohol test.
Legalizing drugs would be devastating to our Country – Yea BUT – Paul knows more about the Constitution than the people that wrote it – BS – you just want to have a party with legalized drugs – Shut up and get straight!

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 2:40amFailure of a career politician named Ron Paul
Paul, who has served 11 terms in three different stages dating back to 1976, didn’t get a single law passed until 2009, when he authored a bill that allowed for the sale of a customs house in Galveston, Texas. Failure is often the norm in Congress, where only 4 percent of proposed bills get a President’s signature, but Paul’s approach to lawmaking is particularly suited to not getting things done.
Of the 620 bills sponsored by Ron Paul during his long career in the House of Representatives, only four have ever made it to a vote on the House floor and only one of those became an actual law. An analysis by The Washington Post shows that Paul’s success rate of 0.2 percent falls far below that of most legislators, as Paul has chosen to stand up for his personal crusades, rather that build coalitions for more popular, but less ambitious, proposals.

Because Ron Paul doesnt propose new laws, regulations, and taxes you think he has fail?
Because he continually votes NO on everything that is UNconstitutional that makes him a bad politician?
You are making the argument for Ron Paul. By saying that you like a politicians that RAM new laws and regulations down the throats of the American people. Apparently, you like the current politicians that are passing all those wonderful bills like Obamacare, NDAA, and the Patriot Act. I dont want politicians that are passing 100s of new bills every year. I dont know about you, but I like it when someone sticks to The Constitution because I dont want the ‘Career Politicians’ that will vote to take away my freedoms. I want someone that PROTECTS my freedom not someone that throws them all away.
I can hear you saying “Ron Paul isnt a good leader because he couldn’t get other members to go along with his bills.”
DUH! Because every bill that the corrupt politicians try to pass Ron Paul votes NO. Why would the ‘Other Politicians’ support Ron Paul’s bills if he wont go along with their corruption?
IT IS COMMON SENSE… IT DOESNT TAKE ROCKET APPLIANCES TO FIGURE THIS OUT…

For one, you are overstating the harm of legalizing drugs – for instance, when marijuana was legalized in Amsterdam, FEWER people used it than when they could get the thrill for doing something illicit. Drugs were not illegal for over 100 years after the Constitution was signed – until the Progressives banned them. Further, some of our Founding Fathers actually grew marijuana and hemp, including good ol’ George Washington.
Marijuana was banned due to irrational fears that white girls would use it and have relationships with Mexican immigrants because of it. Cocaine was banned in an attempt to go after Coca-Cola for using the coca leaf (from which cocaine is extracted) in making its drink. Heroin is pretty much chemically identical to morphine, which is a legal prescription drug.
Besides, freedom is not existent if does not include the freedom to make bad decisions.

In addition to what I posted about Paul’s earmarks, lets not forget that most of those earmarks Paul got for his district were hidden in other people’s bills that Paul voted against that he new would pass anyway. Not just the bills he voted for. So Paul, (on the surface), is the Paulistinian’s hero for not voting for a bad bill, while earmarking the bad bill knowing that it will pass eventhough he didn’t vote for it. A little disengenious to say the least. I give him credit for being sneaky and thats about it.

Failed at being a Lawyer so he
became a Politician, got kicked out of office, so
became a Lobbyist.
What comes after a Lobbyist?
Santorum actually had the nerve last night to implied that he worked in the coal mines. Being a Lobbyist for the Coal Industry doesn’t make you a miner, ricky. The man has never had a real job, so he makes one up.

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 4:00pmWith age comes wisdom and Ron Paul is a brilliant man. Only in our current era and under Socialism is age considered to be a drawback. In the past it was always considered to be a plus. Giving respect only to youth is part of the Socialist agenda: Socialist Liberals need to influence the young and dumb. Look at the Socialist Nazi youth corps. Ron Paul attracts the young people, and since youth tend to be critical of their elders, I think the youth have spoken to Ron Paul’s competence.

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 8:21pmBlaze posters need to learn what the ‘Reply’ button actually does.
I don’t think people understand the Commerce Clause… 2 good examples revolve around my lovely home state of Illinois.
1. They have no CCW permit. You can’t carry/own a firearm. If what some of these people are saying is correct, then Illinois is violating the Commerce Clause by not allowing CCW permits.
2. It it illegal to purchase fireworks in Illinois. Wisconsin and Indiana both allow the sale/purchase of fireworks, so you can go there to purchase them. However, in Illinois, even though it is ILLEGAL to sell/purchase fireworks, you can still get a permit/license to set them off. Again, if the people here were interpreting the commerce clause, Illinois again would be in violation of it.
In regards to the legalization. As fireworks, on a federal level are not illegal to sell/purchase, so would be drugs. On a state level, as with Illinois, you may not be able to sell/purchase and you may be able to get a special permit, as with fireworks, but as Dr. Paul would leave that decision up to the states, no, I don‘t see how it’s a violation of the commerce clause.

The former article is of the first necessity to the commerce and marine, in other words to the wealth and protection of the country.

Regarding foreign affairs, I, as many people around the world, believe that America is the difference between from now and the final days of the world. America is simple the difference between a world taken by totalitarian regimes and the liberty and free market in the West. But, on the other hand, while some worries of Paulites are very understandable and reasonable, focusing only on domestic issues won’t make the life better for America, and in fact it could be more dangerous for your country than now.
Let me quote this: “The United States has real enemies who will test just how much weakness there is in actuality, and compare that against their perceptions. Just like your teenage kids will push the envelope to see how much they can get away with, certain countries will attack us, refuse to cooperate with us, or threaten smaller nations in their area of interest with the casual reference to the U.S. military cutbacks.”

Which of the 620 did you not agree with? Which of the 620 did your Senators and Congressman vote for or vote against? Which of the 620 was unconstitutional? Oh, I’m assuming you read them. How stupid of me.

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 12:37amMeteor, the reason his bills have such a hard time passing is because, except for Ron Paul and perhaps a handful of others, the entire Congress – both Houses- are full of progressives.
Who in their right mind wouldn’t support a bill that would withdraw the US out of the UN and kick the UN out of the US? The majority of Congress, that’s who.
Who in their right mind would refuse to look at a bill that would end the ‘anchor baby’ problem?
The majority of Congress, that’s who.
It took Congress over 30 years to finally agree with Ron Paul that the Fed needed to be audited and now look at what we found out that the Fed was doing now that it’s been done – and that was just a partial audit. Can you imagine what will happen should they ever agree to a full audit?
Ron Paul has changed the narrative and we have a different conversation happening in America.
Report Post »We now want out of the UN.
We now want the Fed audited.
We now want them to stop legislating away our unalienable rights.
Nobody complained about Reagan meeting with commie bigwigs to end the Cold War but to do the same now would be nuts? The reason the Cold War got as contentious as it did was because no one would talk. Reagan changed that ‘we don’t talk to the enemy’ (‘terrorists’ today) and began the talks and the wall came down.
It’s time to return to Reagan foreign policy of diplomacy and open up the lines of communication Bush&Co shut down.

He is concerned about those who would like to redefine conservatism (some Libertarians, like Ron Paul as an example).
Santorum is for limited government. He has and will continue to reform entitlement spending.
He also made clear the main reason he got into this race was to get rid of Obamacare.

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 6:03am“those who would like to redefine conservatism (some Libertarians, like Ron Paul as an example).”
Reagan said libertarianism was the “heart and soul of conservatism”. Santorum said ““I fight very strongly against libertarian influence within the Republican Party and the conservative movement”. Santorum would have fought Reagan tooth and nail, obviously. Santorum is no conservative.

Posted on January 7, 2012 at 11:40pmCouldn’t be more incorrect or Huntsman would likely split the “Mormon” vote as an alternative with more of a track record in Utah, and this hasn’t happened. I don’t feel the need to have a Mormon in the White House, I simply want someone with a track record of success at the helm of this once successful nation that is in dire need of an about face. Paul is smart, and in some respects he is right. I fear however that he would be impotent as POTUS. Unable to accomplish much at all. Much to Obama‘s chagrin you can’t accomplish everything by Executive Order, congress is often necessary for moving forward with your plans. Paul‘s record isn’t exactly overwhelming in the support department by other lawmakers. Why would that change when he occupies the WH?
We need Vision and Ideas. Ron Paul has these in spades. But that is not all we need. We need someone who can actually do. Ron Paul has no record in that department. Doers for President not Talkers.

Even if you hate Ron Paul, for whatever reason, do you want someone SO BAD, that Obama will just obliterate him in the general?
Honest Opinion: If you people aren’t going to wake up in time to get behind Paul, and you’re willing to sacrifice your character/values/principles voting for one of the corrupt liars….Romney can’t be trusted, and he doesn’t know how the economy works… Santorum is about as worse as you can get probably worse than Barack Obama/George W….Gingrich is smart, incredibly smart… but morally bankrupt and will absolutely serve himself first… we are just an afterthought to him. Perry, he’d be ok if he could get his message out better, but there isn‘t enough info on him other than he’s willing to pay a lot of lip service.
If you really aren’t going to go for Paul… then Gingrich is the only logical choice. Because he MIGHT help the country just to satisfy his own ego. He will still rob us blind, but MAYBE his ego will pursuade him to do some good.

Posted on January 8, 2012 at 12:45pmIs it me or does Rick Santorum look like the Republican version of Al Gore during the 2000 debates? The gesturing, facial expressions, etc. that truly do not look presidential at all. Oh, and the interrupting of other candidates during their time to speak. Ron Paul was spot on with his attacks on Santorum. Rick focused on the charge from CREW, which we all know is a bogeyman to conservatives, so it was smart politics by the Senator to focus on that, but what about No Child Left Behind, Medicare Part D, voting to raise the debt ceiling 5 times, not supporting Right to Work legislation…he didn’t respond to any of those accusations, which are all 100% accurate.
We’re $15 trillion in debt and rising. Ron Paul is the only one with a plan to actually cut into that debt and cut $1 trillion from the deficit in year one of his presidency. He’d also allow young people to opt out of social security so they can save for their own retirement instead of relying on a program that will be bankrupt by the time they retire. And knowing Dr. Paul’s consistency and fighting instincts, do you think for a second that he’ll back down from the fight from the establishment that is sure to come when he works to cut spending and abolish 5 cabinet level departments?
