Rick Santorum's Nephew says: Vote for Ron Paul


It is not the government’s job to dictate to individuals how they must live. The Constitution was designed to protect individual liberty. My Uncle Rick cannot fathom a society in which people cooperate and work with each other freely. When Republicans were spending so much money under President Bush, my uncle was right there along with them as a senator. The reason we have so much debt is not only because of Democrats, but also because of big-spending Republicans like my Uncle Rick.

It is because of this inability of status quo politicians to recognize the importance of our individual liberties that I have been drawn to Ron Paul. Unlike my uncle, he does not believe that the American people are incapable of forming decisions. He believes that an individual is more powerful than any group (a notion our founding fathers also believed in).

Another important reason I support Ron Paul is his position on foreign policy. He is the only candidate willing to bring our troops home, not only from the Middle East, but from around the world.

Ron Paul seems to be the only candidate trying to win the election for a reason other than simply winning the election.

If you want another big-government politician who supports the status quo to run our country, you should vote for my uncle, Rick Santorum. America is based on a strong belief in individual liberty. My uncle’s interventionist policies, both domestic and foreign, stem from his irrational fear of freedom not working.

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.

As much as I'd hate to see anyone's family schism due to politics, you have to admit that this is a powerful endorsement.

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).

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.

Can't disagree more. If I had a family member like Santorum I wouldn't vote for them. Maybe the kid sees how our Country is more important than his 'crazy' Uncles corrupt Political career.

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.

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.
