Rick Santorum Said It, I Believe It, That Settles It: "Vote for Ron Paul, That's What You Should Do"
A citizen is bugging Rick Santorum about voting for No Child Left Behind and Medicare Part D and debt ceiling increases; Ricky is peeved and mutters back, "Vote for Ron Paul, that's what you should do."
Unsure where it was shot, the video was uploaded today. Here it is, the money quote at 7 seconds in, approximately.
And buy my forthcoming book about Ron Paul, just like Rick Santorum would want you to.

Finally, I agree with Rick!
I like the shades in the still. Classy.
I'm pretty sure that slipped out by accident.
Ya think?
Nice.
He's an ass.
United States Virgin Islands Republican caucuses, 2012
Candidate Votes Percentage Unbound Delegates Delegates
Ron Paul 112[3] 29.2% 1 1
Mitt Romney 101 26.3% 6 7
Rick Santorum 23 6.0% 0 0
Newt Gingrich 18 4.7% 0 0
Uncommitted 130 33.9% 2 1
Unprojected delegates:[4] 0 0
Total: 384 100% 9 9
Yet Romney got more delegates. WTH?
Was he using the Ron Paul strategy?
"When people tell you who they are - LISTEN!!!!!"
I can't think of a more earnest case of someone explaining who he is via who he is not. We've already got documented that Rick believes in his own form of state-mandated Christian Sharia law; now he says if you don't buy into it vote for Ron Paul, confident that no one would be that much of an ideological rube. "Yeah, like Ron Paul is gonna get more votes than me, the godless pagan..."
Seriously, fuck this guy. Fuck Rick Santorum the self-righteous smug fuck. HE is more self-righteous than OSAMA FUCKING BIN LADEN!!!! And, yes, I say this as someone who he despises. Am I a homosexual, you ask? No, I am someone who is - morally and socially - just as bad to ol' Rick. I am a 40-year old male who has chosen not to have a wife and kids because I don't want them. I am a serial monogamist...
+1
*snirk*
Ron needs to run that in an ad. Maybe at the end he can return the favor and proclaim that anyone who is for endless war and endless spending and endless government power should vote for santorum.
🙂
My thoughts exactly.
He's too classy to do that.
???
How is not classy to suggest that someone votes for what they agree with.
ok I will then, thx.
I've done so twice. Primaries, of course since I'm not from Tejas.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Prolly only once in this case.
No, but really, a broken clock is right twice a day
Not a 24-hour clock.
Not if its broken by being off by 5 minutes.
Smartest thing he's ever said.
Poll puts Sarko 1.5 points ahead of Hollande on first round, still 9 points back on second http://bit.ly/x5MYSf
They're both stupid assholes. The Franco-German fireworks will be spectacular if Hollande wins though.
I think the socialist win would be quite tasty.
You can taste the chaos!
Mmmm..... chaos!
Won't you please think of the poor French libertarians?
PFFFFFFHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I know, I know. I'm kidding.
Urging a vote for Ron Paul is the the equivalent of telling somebody to jack off into a Kleenex.
That's good, Max. Stick to what you know.
As long as are little Maxie stops violating the socks and sofa cushions he can continue. At least it stops him from dicussing politics at the dinner table.
Seriously, Max... you're not even trying anymore.
While voting for Paul in the primary did feel pretty good, It definately didn't feel that good.
Yes, but no more so than urging a vote for Obama or Romney or anyone else.
@John Thacker
That would be more like jacking off into the Constitution.
Let me be clear: Only I get to do that.
That would feel a lot better than voting for the child-bombing, continent-wrecking Obama or any of the would-be Obamas.

"Urging a vote for Ron Paul is the the equivalent of telling somebody to jack off into a Kleenex."
Max, you seem to have this fixation on jacking off.
Have you considered professional help? Or are you content posting here and looking like a jack-off?
Pretty sure that posting here *is* Max's version of jacking off. Here, Max, here's a kleenex. Don't get any on me.
For a second there I assumed he'd dropped out of the race, and was throwing support behind paul. I now realize that was Santorum-Speak for, "Go fuck yourself".
Republicans are fucked as a party as long as they keep trotting out assholes like Santorum. The demographics will not be kind to his assholery in the future. He has absolutely no substance other than being a homophobic "Christian." Otherwise, he's basically a Democrat in a faggy vest.
Santorum "trotted himself out". He was largely marginalized early in the campaign.
Exactly. Ironically, Rick Santorum is still in this race because he was the worst of the SoCon not-Romneys, so he had his big push last after every other one of them flamed out.
It would be more polite to call him a Huckabee with less speaking skills and business sense.
You mean Medicare Part D, surely.
I was hoping someone else would catch that.
Yes, that's what I meant. Fixed.
I'm sure he just said that out of irritation, but you'd think somebody running for President would assume everything he says and does is being recorded by somebody.
The Dark Lord has spoken.
So let it be done.
Interesting that he assumed only Ron Paul would be against such things.
Nice article...
Nice...
I am voting for Ron Paul ! NITWIT
