    This is a great article. People are so quick to accuse RP of being an isolationist, when realistically we aren't currently threatened by another superpower and haven't been since the 80's. The Europeans freeloading is spot on. Hell if another country is providing protection and security at their expense, why wouldn't you take full advantage of that? That end quote sums it up "He who defends everything defends nothing"

    I'm really just lost for words as to why he won nor do I understand the appeal to him. He's just another big government, bible thumping warhawk. On top of that, all he does is whine during debates. Huge pussy.

    He already won a heavily black city as a white man. America is a piece of cake.

    You're right it won't get any media coverage, but why would it be huge? Because he has a few extra delegates? He needs well over 1,000. I'm not bashing RP, I like the guy, but when put into perspective, it's not really a big deal.

    Political leverage, basically. It wouldn't be huge for any other candidate, but for Ron Paul, who is just as focused on getting his views adapted by the establishment as he is on actually getting elected kenyan, racking up delegates is huge.

    Read this article:

    "They have this idea that people should be left alone, [...] government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom [...] This idea that people should be able to go and do whatever they want and it doesn't really matter as long as it doesn't hurt anybody, that's not our founders' view of freedom." ~Rick Santorum

    FUCK RICK SANTORUM. I would gladly vote for Obama over this douche. I'm also pretty sure he is a self-hating closeted homosexual. I still see no way that he can win the nomination, which is a relief. Romney's sitting on mountains of cash, and has proven to be a vicious negative campaigner.

    ^ Agreed. Where Newt is the smart guy for the dumb folk, Rick is the foxnews guy for brainwashed neo-cons from our grandparents generation.

    I saw Rick this morning in OKC. He's a lot different in person than what you see on the news.

    He never said that it must have been a mistype or quote.

    Because during the rally yesterday he said that EXACT same thing and he said THAT IS our founders view of freedom.

    I support the guy after listening to his views on everything instead of getting 30 second video clips.
