But Santorum doesn't have that power (properly speaking).  If he dropped out, the bound delegates would be "free" to vote for whomever they wanted.

Ron Paul
Yes because no set of ideas is as similar to Ron Paul's as freedom-loving, personal-liberty-defending, private-life-championing, useless-wars-denouncing, Rick Santorum's.

In answer to the OP's question: I guess not.

I think I mentioned the delegate race quite awhile ago.  Doug Wead has also talked about it on her show before.


Time always wins.

OK Mr MSNBCTongue
I have to admit, I used to not like her arrogant and snobby personality (guess I still don't) but she has provided some little heard info and talked about Paul, (in a neutral if not slightly positive way) which is of course out of the norm.
So I give her kudos for that.


This whole thing really is messed up. I hear about: this is disputed, no one has really won any delegates, they are voting for this...sounds like no one has any idea what exactly is going on! LOL

For the record, when I do watch news I still use MSNBC. I just hate most of the people on there!

Is he? I also hate Leno (Letterman all the way) but I'll tune in as well.


BTW there are dumb Santorum fans even here in NJ.
I can't even repeat the stupid sh*t this guy was saying. Cry Buying the GOP bait hook line and sinker.

To sum it up (and maximize rage) he claims: If you want to Vote Paul you might as well vote Obama. Because only Santorum has "Values" and he's a "family man and caring American"

Dead

He does value controlling your family and is an American caring about what you do in the privacy of your own home.

You want some real fun, I tried to explain the value of not forcing your values on other people...
Somehow I'm a socialistLOL


He's a moron anyway, agreed with all the issues I brought up, but then kept hammering for Santorum.
I said "I don't do drugs, and I wouldn't but that's my responsibility not the government's. Also you must admit cyclical drug offenders clog the jails that could be used for worse crimes" but apparently that doesn't matter because "I dont know history" and am immoral and stupid.

Wonderful

Well, I'm not an American (I'm a Pole living in China), but I'm very interested in preliminary elections in Republican Party from a long time. As a right-wing libertarian I'd really like to see Ron Paul as a president (however I hope he will come back to his previous views on immigration, like in 1988).

The worst totalitarian is of course Rick Santorum. Complete crackpot who wants to force other people to his religious views (I'm a Catholic just like him, but I don't want to use state force to tell other people what they have to do...).

Anyway I think that if Ron Paul won't be elected as Republican candidate, Repulicans have no chance to beat Obama (and I hate Obama too of course), 'cos many RP voters will start to support Libertarian Party and/or Boston Tea Party candidates. Anyway I think so. But I don't live in USA so I maybe wrong hehe.

I actually could see Paul winning, because some states always vote Republican and Paul could take in a lot of undecided/Independent and apathetic voters!
He does little chance of winning the nomination of course.

I'm glad to hear man. I know there are many fine, understanding religious people but many do seem to think it's fine to have their way be the only and run the country by their views. Very sad to meCry

The nomination was always going to be the issue.  The republican party power structure would much rather have 4 more years of Obama than Ron Paul.  For all their rhetoric people like Bill Kristol, Rush Limbaugh, and Karl Rove know they have far more in common with Obama.

Of course. As the good doctor himself said, Santorum was in Congress...and has a voting record of big government. It's just ridiculous people say "No I DO want limited government I like Santorum!" Are they simply fooling themselves??? Do they not wanna believe or truly that blind?


Also gotta love those high pitch squeals Paul makesLOL

Though it doesn't mean much for this campaign, appearances like that will hopefully help spread his message to new people.  

Frank Caliendo is struggling a bit, though LOL

Welcome to a republican form of government. Nice of you to join us after these 225 years.
