Rick Santorum is not a liberal as far as I'm concerned. It looks like Rick's surge in the polls hit a nerve.

[cripplecreek]

He’s my second choice and will be my first choice by the time the race gets to Michigan.

[VicVega]

Yeah, Arlen Spector wasn’t liberal either who’s biggest cheerleader was Ricky.

[ejonesie22]

If Paul says you are not conservative then that means you must be pretty good by conservative standards since Paul is a leftist Jew hating mullah loving whack job...

[driftdiver]

I kinda like Santorum and couldn’t understand why he wasn’t getting more attention. He would be better than the other choices. Not flashy enough for the media though.

This from a Far, Far, Left, Certifiable, Moonbat? Hey Ronnie, it's called "projection!"

[Roninf5-1]

"He voted to double the size of the Department of Education," Rand Paul said. "He voted to expand Medicare and add free drugs for senior citizens and he has voted for foreign aid. Those are not conservative principles. Seventy-seven percent of the American people are opposed to foreign aid and Rick Santorum has voted for it every time it's come down."

Is any of this incorrect?

Ron Paul is still around?

I thought he jumped to the Libertine Party.

[therightliveswithus]

Everyone: Ron Paul is crazy

[SumProVita]

Such a statement demonstrates even more lunacy on the part of Ron Paul.

Ron Paul: Santorum is 'very liberal'

[ex-snook]

Santorum thinks he is some kind of a dictator who can bomb countries without a formal declaration of war just because he is President. Liberal? Maybe but he sure isn’t conservative. He must think Congress is some kind of a potted plant. If he wants to bomb Iran, the first thing he should do is go before Congress and ask for a formal declaration of war.

[Leep]

Mr Santorum may be the only choice left that I could vote for that wouldn’t make me feel like I needed a shower afterwards.
Like eveyone has said about their choice..noone is perfect so neither is Santorum.

[Southern Magnolia]

Hah! On the BBC news radio breaks last night in the wee hours, Ben Smith was on yapping about Iowa and how Santorum would never win an election because he’s too conservative for the American people.

[svcw]

Paul is a fraud when it comes to spending.
He loads bills up with tons of spending when he knows they will pass, votes against them as says “see I am for cutting spending”.
Why wont he go away.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Now I see why he wants to legalize dope.

[the_Watchman]

I think the media may be behind the latest attention given to Santorum. The “surge” may be timed in order to dilute the opposition to Romney in Iowa. I just did a quick scan of this thread and I notice that everyone is fighting between Gingrich, Paul, and Santorum. Nobody is throwing rocks at Romney or even comparing Santorum to Romney.

I guess we are properly distracted and diluted. :(

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Compared to Ron Paul whose newsletters show him to be farther right than John Birch, Barry Goldwater, and Ronald Reagan, everyone including Rick Santorum looks like a liberal.

[impimp]

He is my second or third choice (Bachmann is first), but Paul is right - he has a very liberal voting record.

[petercooper]

Rick Santorum is a little boy like Obama. Not a real man or a leader, which we need right now.

[Republican Wildcat]

Ron Paul? Give me a break.

So Rick Santorum voted for some spending? As opposed the “principled” Ron Paul who gets others to vote for his spending and makes sure it gets in there and passed while personally voting against it so he can claim he opposed the pork?
