"It caught you not telling the truth" - Rick Santorum

An exchange between Rick Santorum and Ron Paul during the January 7 New Hampshire Debate.

CONTEXT:
"Congressman Paul, you've got a new ad up in South Carolina taking direct aim at Senator Santorum. You call him a corrupt, a corporate lobbyist, a Washington insider with a record of betrayal. You also call him corrupt in that ad. Senator Santorum is standing right here. Are you willing to stand by those charges and explain them?"

"Well, it was a quote. Somebody did make a survey and he came out as one of the top corrupt individuals because he took so much money from the lobbyists. But really, what the whole..."

Rick Santorum is exactly what his name implies. Barack Obama KNOWS that Ron Paul is the only true threat to his re-election

@l0ngd0ngsilverman YES RELIGIOUS FANATICAL VIEWS. This idiot Santorum thinks that a child born of a rape victim is a fucking gift from god. Santorum is a nut job who is running for president based only on his religious views.. thats ALL HE HAS. Politically he fucking sucks and was VOTED OUT OF OFFICE. I am NOT jealous because I have a fucking mind of my own and don't need to cling to a fictional book to compensate for my total insecurity.

@mg86ta1 fictional book.......ahahahhah.....idiot­s these days...get it through your head stupid.

@mg86ta1 It's retarded to vote for candidates who claim to be Christian because usually they pretend to be Christian just to get the vote. GW Bush said he was pro-life Christian yet when he had control of an all republican congress, pro-life legislation wasn't even on the table. I'd rather give my vote to someone who is 100% constitutional because it protects rights for everyone across the board and limits the power of government. We haven't had a constitutional president in a long time.

I love it when videos don't show the whole clip. I didn't see this debate, but I'm pretty sure Ron Paul had a good rebuttal. He usually does.

@SusieArviso Uhh, Bush did that long before Obama showed up.

Name one law that turned the USA into a police state.

[SusieArviso]

@terminsane, Regardless of Obamas legitamacy, he has managed to turn the country into a police state legally. He has systematically gone against the Constitution making laws that moot our civil liberties and have removed our rights and freedoms of personal choice. This is not a Left/Right issues. It's like arguning over the Bar Tab on the sinking Titanic. Vote Ron Paul if you want to save the country from trranny.

[SusieArviso]

@terminsane, The problem is, that the government should not be involved in regulating or making laws concerning people's personal choices. On one hand, the lefties are wanting a huge controlling government, while many Christians think the government should regulate morals. These things should be up to the individual states. Neither of these are Constitutional. We all need to support Ron Paul. He's the only Candidate that wants to restore the Consitution, get rid of the Fed and save our country.

@rockinrobins0214 , AMEN! It is quite obvious that this just a competition for the other candidates. They have made fun of Ron Paul, mocked him, given him less air time and talked about him as if he's a nutcase. If what Ron Paul proposes sounds NUTTY to anyone, then they would have to say the Constitution is nutty as well. Because that is where he is getting his propositions!
