to be as young as he is,Rick Santorum sure looks fat and lazy,,probably from driving around in that AUDI a6...and preaching at the same time about driving an american made car....ANYONE THAT LIKES THIS SAYANYTHING GUY IS AN IDIOT LIKE HIM AND THERES NO EXCUSE IF YOU OWN A COMPUTER.

The US airlines could avoid the $3 tax altogether by cutting their engines when they enter european airspace

Whoa now

[MrFreeLibertarian]

@flyinbry Anybody but Obama, so yes, I would vote for Ron Paul if were the nominee. That's more than I can say for many RP supporters, who claim that they won't vote for anyone but RP, thus improving Obama's reelection chances. Anybody who would deliberately improve Obama's reelection chances is not thinking clearly. But you're right, I obviously do not prefer RP as the republican candidate. His foreign policy views are dangerous. He can still lead the fight against the Fed as a congressman.

[MrFreeLibertarian]

@groam6666 I agree. A true libertarian does not accept pork handouts. And there's nothing libertarian about blaming our country for being attacked like we deserved it. That's just ignorant.

[4PFrog]

@animator297 Yeah, and I know of at least one who's under investigation for his public support of the Doctor. Just because he gets the most money from them doesn't necessarily mean more of the military supports him, that just means more of the military is willing to contribute to his campaign.

[animator297]

@denniscasey5 Ron Paul gets more support and donations from the US military than any candidate out there.

[flyinbry]

@StopFear The Mormon's scriptures say all kinds of wild things. It is mainstream in the Mormon religion to believe that every Mormon will become God one day....

[flyinbry]

@MrFreeLibertarian Working for another candidates campaign? YES YOU ARE!

[logainofhades]

Santorum is a worthless, two faced, war mongering piece of trash.

[Ammo1313]

These emissions tax, called Carbon Taxes, are for the emissions of carbon-dioxides and carbon-monoxides. Keep in mind that the Democrats are all for this as a way to 'recoup' the cost of health related problems. Since we breath in oxygen and expel carbon-dioxide they have now created a tax that is used on the very air we breath. Anyone fancy a trip to the EU?

[denniscasey5]

@stopfear I really have to correct this myth that abortion is a federal matter. The only control the federal government has over abortion is from the courts ie row vs wade. Since then every time a state passes a anti abortion law it is ruled as unconstitutional. The only way to fix that is to pass a pro-life amndmt or to have the ruling overturned. We cannot just say as RP has suggested the courts have no jurisdiction, that would be unconstitutional.

[gafisher001]

C'mon, @StopFear, at least Romney looks up to a higher being. The fact it's a salamander is still pretty good for a politician, most of whom are lower than a snake's bellybutton.

[denniscasey5]

@stopfear Then u are in the small minority of the RP supporters comments I read on utube. For months now I have watched and debated his supporters as they spout off this conspiracy after that, rail on the evils of America, and call all other republicans in the race neo-cons. Yet in the end my issue with MOST of his supporters is proven in this videos comments. We are arguing about RP on the comments of a video that only mentioned his name one time.

[Ant1Live]

This title makes a whole lot more sense after you google "Human Centipede."

[StopFear]

@flyinbry Yep. The Obamsters and democrat cronies are just waiting until the GOP officially choose him as a nominee to pour all sort of compromising information and accusations against him, many of which , unfortunately will be true. No one begun to analyze the nature of his Mormon religion and the things their organization believes and believed. Did you know that they, until about 70s believed that black skinned people descended from the Devil? Gays will attack M.R. for Mormonism too

[StopFear]

@MrConservative608

I also support Ron Paul. In fact, like I typed earlier, i think only the 9/11 Conspiracy nuts can hurt him the most if they start mentioning his name and 9/11 Inside Job in the same sentence. Actually Ron Paul, although perceived as a pacifist, said during a speech before that he is not an absolute pacifist. He would support a war as long as it is a declared and voted for by the Congress. If we had "declared" wars the military actually would have more power

[StopFear]

@denniscasey5

My reply is not on behalf of lotsoffun11, I don't know what he believes. I actually do not believe in any conspiracies, and I agree that people who scream 9/11 is an Inside Job can only hurt Ron Paul. I think they should not mention the two in the same sentence. I am a patriot of the USA, but it does not mean I cannot point out the things that USA or Republicans did wrong in history and or doing wrong today. I used to support Bush, I admit I was wrong. No big deal.

[NAGGERNUTZ]

@StopFear - I disagree on 2 of your points. Ron Paul's largest voter base are young white males under 30. That's a fact. It's funny that Ron Paul's supporters claim that Ron Paul founded the Tea Party movement, however, the Tea Party doesn't support him. I can agree with legalizing marijuana, but that's where I draw the line. Marijuana is harmless and non-addicting, everything else is.

[StopFear]

@denniscasey5

Hey, one thing about which I actually agree with you is that Islam is a despicable and barbaric religion. Yes, they were terrorizing people from the start. But that does not mean that, when United States is bankrupt, to continue military actions and potentially threatening new wars in the Middle East. I also support Israel and think those who use the term "ZIonist' are idiots, but Ron Paul's plan can only help Israel more. Israel will not be limited by USA like by EU

[StopFear]

@zvi303 I also support the notion that the United States should be the leaders of the Free World. However, I believe the first step should be absolute free market. Free market means that it is wrong to impose tariffs, sanctions, exorbitant taxes, or blockades of other nations. Once there is free trade it creates richer people in oppressed nations who will defend freedom more eagerly and only obstacle to freedom will be THEIR oppressive governments. This is what Milton Friedman wrote.

[StopFear]

@nathan9384 Yes, I agree with you. I was skeptical at first, when I heard about him bout 4 years ago. Then I checked his voting record and it still gives me confidence. One of the biggest reasons I will vote for him is in fact not his foreign policy but because he is actually the only pro-life candidate. He knows that if the federal government did not get itself involved into the abortion debate, almost 3rd if not half the states would criminalize abortion. Catholics should think.

[StopFear]

@NAGGERNUTZ

I see where you get that idea. Ron Paul is indeed for decriminalization of Marijuana and other substances. But the majority of his supporters are far from "young white males under 30" But it simply is not true. Ron Paul is the one who founded the Tea Party movement and Tea Party movement consisted of many people of various ages. I and my friends, by the way, do not even touch marijuana nor are Ron Paul's supporters because of de-criminalization of it.

[groam6666]

@MrFreeLibertarian If you ask me, I think the libertarian movement has been hijacked by RP and his cult. America is to blame for all world instability, past & present. Listen to them rant how we were the instigators in WW 2 and the cold war. They support the gold standard, when most libertarian thinkers, including Milton Friedman opposed re instituting the gold standard and calling it "anti-libertarian."

The worst part is that they view themselves as righteous. They are crazy

[StopFear]

@denniscasey5 You can continue to scream all you want on your computer screen, or typing in caps, or outside. Whichever you prefer. You're saying every Ron Paul supporter has zero understanding of the world or constitution, that is your problem because you're the one who cannot let go of your neo-con Repubican philosophy and think rationally. Finally you use ad hominem attacks at Ron Paul supporters. It is a clear sign you have no clear arguments and are just trolling.

[StopFear]

@zvi303

No bigotry at all if you mean calling Mormons a cult, because every Christian knows they are. In case of Catholic church, some call it a cult some don't but the point is that Santorum uses religious justification to defend another type of bigotry which is that against people who do weird sex acts in privacy of their homes, or the Muslims. Also I am not talking to "all" of American population
