Santorum's nephew says: Vote for Ron Paul

[Erazmus]

This is a pretty bush-league move from the nephew. Even if you don't agree with the politics, family comes first. This kid's priorities are messed up. I don't know how old he is, but maybe it just immaturity.

And don't start ripping on me about fighting the good fight for liberty and all that. . . he can support Ron privately, he can donate and phonebank, but he shouldn't be out in front of the press ripping on a family member, regardless of what private conflicts they may have had in the past. God first, then family, then everything else.

Even after your ninja edit, I still don't agree.

I got ninja skillz dat pay da billz. Still, I think publicly opposing a family member isn't all that cool. I'm sure there is someone in the Paul family who doesn't agree with Ron's positions. In fact, I'm sure every family of a politician has people who don't agree with the politician, but that doesn't mean it's OK to publicly rip them. Politics is nasty enough, politicians really shouldn't have to take public shots from their family.

But Ron Paul is the US's last hope...

I can see where you're coming from. I guess it also depends on the degree of the separation. Clearly, if someone feels as strongly against the wars as Santorum's nephew, I think anyone would have a hard time keeping quiet about their Pro-War uncle. Besides, Ron Paul is probably the only time since the founders we actually have a chance to have someone who understands freedom in the high office. This is an extraordinary rare gem that we can't pass up. I think Santorum's nephew understands this.

It also emphasizes the huge disconnect between the older and younger generations (except those here in Ron Paul's camp who are 'young at heart', bless you).

Hey, hey, hey, I resemble that remark.

Oh, I don't know. I recall doing something kinda like that when my cousin was running for Governor of my home state. I was about the same age as Santorum's nephew. Ah, youth.

Note: Santorum's nephew is 19

Ron Paul's brother believes he is naive and bashed his political beliefs in an interview a month ago, for what it's worth.

Has Rick ever mentioned his relationship with his brother? Anyway, I'm sure that his nephew knows him better than all of America does. What do you know about your Uncle that the American people don't? So, he must have come to this conclusion after arguments, research, etc. and seen that RP was the best.

I don't think this smart young man is the son of Rick's brother otherwise his last name would be Santorum.

Guess he's not getting invited to the Santorum home next Thanksgiving...

If he is, I bet he'll be wearing a Ron Paul t-shirt.
