Ron Paul's army rises up as Palin gives Santorium thumbs up (Video)

(VIDEO AT LINK: "New song for the Ron Paul campaign by Jordan Page.")

Take it or leave it, Sarah Palin's got a following, platform and a voice in America and she chose to use it with positive comments about Rick Santorum's campaign for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination through Hannity--but will that slow down Ron Paul's momentum? Maybe she and some others don't realize that, take it or leave it, Ron Paul has an army of supporters who continue to rise up tweeting, YouTubing and shouting "Ron Paul 2012," at events and on street corners as they wave signs for the man who is ready to "Restore America."

I'd be willing to bet just like the media black-out caused Ron Paul's supporters to rise up and get louder and stronger--they will also step it up for this possible future endorsement as well and agree with her when she said, "My personal endorsement probably doesn't amount to a hill of beans at this point in the race," she said to Hannity.

Ms. Palin told Fox News' Sean Hannity, "If voters start kind of shifting gears and deciding they want ideological consistency, then they're going to start paying attention to say, Rick Santorum."

She commented that Santorum is a, "hardliner against Iran to help protect Israel."

Then on the other side, we have Texas Congressman Ron Paul who says, "Why don't we mind our own business," in reference to taking on other country's battles and therefore spending more money on endless, careless wars. Paul is all about war for sure but not military force when it's not necessary, he's into making sure the currency war calms down that he forewarned would come to fruition.

Palin also said about Santorum, "He's been consistent in wanting to protect the most vulnerable and the sanctity of life. He's been consistent in saying we need to slash the federal income tax."

Speaking of consistency, have you done your homework on Ron Paul, Sarah? As a 12 term congressman Ron Paul has consistently voted to lower congressional pay, allow gun ownership, lower taxes, keep a free internet, limit the power of the executive branch. He's been against the bailouts and against the cost of, and loss of life of the Iraq war.

As president, Ron Paul plans to secure OUR borders, end foreign wars, bring the troops home, end the Fed, stop foreign aid, phase out the IRS, END the income tax which is against our Constitutional rights.

Dr. Paul plans to fix health care, take a yearly salary of $39,336.00--equal to the average U.S. workers salary--instead of the $400,000 a year being pulled out of the budget now. Paul plans to abolish corporate subsidies, return spending to 2006 levels and return the power to the States as in the 9th and 10th Amendments.

Santorium said he is grateful for her remarks, adding it is clear, "other conservatives are starting to rally around our message of passionate conservatism."

Well, I guess Santorium hasn't heard of the Ron Paul r3VOLution, also! Although, Palin did stand up for Ron Paul on Greta Van Susteren about the media black-out.

Hey, one more thing, I wonder what they're going to say when Ron Paul wins Iowa and New Hampshire?

IIRC, she said nice things about all the cadidates in the Hanity interview. This pundit is just cherry picking to create a stir.

Frankly, there is nobody left in this race worth supporting but Paul.

And just what kind of glasses are you looking at Paul with. You have got to be jesting! The very First Priority of the President of the United States is this Nations Security!....Which a Candidates positions on foreign policy come into play in a very substantial and significant way. If weak there the rest doesn;t mean a hill of beans.

Not to mention he's simply to old and we're seeing this in him at every debate when he looses control of himself. Not that almost 80 year olds do that....but Paul surely does and has all the earmarks of one who certainly can't be trust ed as President when it comes to our safety. My gosh man..the dude thinks Iran needs to have their own nukes!...do you think any of your liberal ideals will matter when a missle comes flying across our nation!

I’m sure like the rest of us, Palin realized that Ron Paul’s elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top floor. Yes, he has his kool aid drinkers that latch on to individual issues that they agree with, but unfortunately, a president Paul would also base his foreign policy on his looney, “America had it comin’” theory. And his antisemitism, is only thinly veiled.

You can be right on the FED and still be Crazy, as Rue, I mean Ron, Paul demonstrates on a daily basis.

Yep, but so far, every president since Eisenhower has failed to secure our southern border. We have fought wars all over the globe, but we can't seem to`close the back door. Wonder why that is?

The problem with Ron Paul is he may spin lots of wheels, but he does not get anything done. Look at his legislation record in Congress. He has sponsored all kinds of bills, but none have been passed. With that track record, how do we expect that he will get anything done as President?

Unfortunately, Rep. Michele Bachmann has the same problem. That’s why we normally pick governors, vice presidents and generals.

Thumbs Up - for a ‘good job’ - or for her choice of nominee for President. (OK; will go and read this; but it pains me. . .)

Well said.

I feel exactly the same.

Like him or not, he’s the only current candidate that would actually work to drag this country, kicking and screaming, back towards the Constitution, and Rule of Law.

I feel your pain, but I can’t agree with your strategy. We are in a two front war, Marxists within and Islamicists without. We can’t abandon one front to consolidate the other. We have to manage both simultaneously. We have no choice. Ron Paul may help us domestically, but he may kill us internationally.

Who am I supporting? Well, aside from the fact I’d like Sarah to reconsider, I haven’t really made my mind up and could go for anybody but Paul or the consensus RINOs (i.e., those whose “RINOism” no one here would seriously dispute, like Romney, Huntsman, etc.). Yes I am considering even Newt. I have an oddball theory about him I got from my dad, who once told me that generally, presidents with weak electoral victories tend to govern better, by which I think he meant they were, out of necessity, more sensitive to the will of the people. Having a pure conservative ideologue would be great, but I can see an upside to having someone in there who is only just sort of conservative but really wants to keep his job by doing what we hire him to do. Yes, it is somewhat cynical, but it also resonates well with how the Founders viewed human nature, and why they invented a system that accounted for sometimes self-serving people rising to power. It could work, and likely would work much better than having a leftist ideologue at the helm.

Ron Paul has ZERO momentum and has YET to hit his 2008 high mark with many of his former supporters taking a pass this go around.

Last election had little groups of them standing in parking lots with their signs. Don't know if they thought it would light a fire for his campaign or if they were seeking comfort from each other.

But Ron Paul has never been able to explain the origin of his anti-Israel ideology.

Of course, nobody else has either. Not from a morally justifiable position.

Again—Ron Paul is anti-Israel.
