Ron Paul's 2nd place finish completely discounted by Santorum.

Every time Santorum talks about Ron Paul, the media talks about Ron Paul. Santorum is wrapping himself in the flag and tugging at American emotions but Ron Paul will respond with logic and well thought out answers every time. Let him continue is rants, it just gives Ron Paul all the more opportunity to explain his stances to America!

I'm sure Santorum believes what he is saying. He believes he is right about foreign policy. And when it comes to viability, he can believe what he wants about Ron Paul's viability. If he believes that Ron Paul is good at straw polls, and thus, Ron's 2nd place doesn't count, then it allows him to believe that he is in the top 3 of viable candidates coming out of Iowa. It allows his campaign to continue, and he is a happy guy.

I would have been glad to see Santorum out after Iowa, but so be it. His campaign lives a little longer, to attack (and bring attention to) Ron Paul.
 
Still don't understand how people can play the "Ron Paul is good at straw polls" card when he placed 5th at Ames last cycle. Yeah, he's good at smaller polls but this is Ames and he pulled a near statistical tie.
 
Yes, logically the argument about straw polls doesn't hold, to anyone who is very educated about the difference in the Iowa straw poll. But some people might still believe that, if they are only reading and accepting what someone else said.

Rick "Google" Santorum, let me just remind you that this straw poll you are dismissing is one that you competed in, one that you paid money to participate in, one that you have moved your entire family to Iowa for months to compete in... oh, and BTW, one that Ron Paul just cleaned your clock in.

Let's just try to keep that in mind, shall we?

have you ever done it ? you don't get results like when you google Ron Paul . you get , uhhh , you have to see for your self because i would probably get banned for saying it .
he was joking , but i get what he was saying ..
 
Every other candidate could pass away and that feminine weasel still wouldn't have a chance in hell to win an election at a grammar school, let alone against Obama. Doesn't matter what viewpoints he even has, anybody who listens to him speak or interact with anybody else knows that he isn't going to be their choice, because he is ignorant, acts like a tool, and has no substance of his own to differentiate him. By far the most pathetic and meaningless candidate in the race, and this has nothing to do with my support for Paul, or anything related to Santorum vs. Paul. He is just an embarrassing candidate for the party and I wish people would just forget his name

I've just posted in the Campaign Suggestion section that Ron Paul should, in a HD Youtube video ad type way, "reassign" the Giuliani reading list to Santorum. We could make such a thing viral could we not?

+1 Yes, love the idea. Ron Paul should do this.

People have been attacking Ron Paul for years & every time they do he gets more popular. This is what happens when you have logic & truth on your side. I say swing away Santorum the Sanctimonious, end your political career while giving Ron Paul another opportunity to tell people the truth & gain in popularity because of it.
 
Ignore Santorum. He is only getting attention by attacking Ron. He thinks we will rise to the bait.
 
RP shouldn't do this.

Last time around, Guilliani was considered a first tier candidate. He made the foolish mistake of taking a swing at RP, a non-first tier candidate, and we know who came out on top in that bout. ;>)

Santorum doesn't deserve the time of day.

He's a gnat. Annoying but harmless to us.
 
Its kind of personal to me as a Pennsylvanian (I just live in VA right now). I don't like this guy misrepresenting us. I've already had to assure some people here that people like PA aren't like that and that basically explain that he is just some crazy guy that made his way into politics. I'm so happy he lost his 2006 election by 18 points. I have never heard anyone in PA talk about him favorably (even the most neocon of neocon and most social conservative people I know). I just want him to stop campaigning and go home, but then again I don't want him back in my state.

Can some other state take him for us please?
