We need to convince these crossover voters to support Ron Paul instead of Santorum!

Democrats prefer Santorum

Submitted by Dixie-Paleocon on Wed, 02/22/2012 - 10:58.

over Ron Paul because Santorum is a big-government fiscal moderate-liberal. Ron Paul is the most fiscally Conservative candidate running, so naturally, Dems in a big-union state like Michigan aren't going to go for Paul. Why would this be a shocker to anyone? Santorum is the most fiscally liberal GOP presidential candidate in more than forty years.

They may prefer to

have Santorum run against Obama. They need to be reminded that it will give him the chance however slim of winning. I know for SURE that if they had to choose an (R) to win they would choose Paul.

Exactly

They think Santorum is an easy win. I had a similar conversation with an Obama supporter who said, "But Paul can actually beat Obama."

I pointed out that if he wanted Obama to be a better candidate you need someone who will challenge him on the issues that they may be dissapointed in Obama with (War, Drug War, Corporate Welfare).

Eventually he said, "I guess if Obama is going to lose I'd rather him lose to Paul." Then told me he was going to vote for Ron Paul in the Primary.

You got to point out that they are giving Santorum a chance of winning. I also point out that is why I never do "down strategy voting" like such, because I'd feel horrible if I helped nominate someone I don't agree with then have them end up winning.

without a Constitution and Bill of Rights, they can kiss off having a lawyer forever.

The only one standing for this bottom line effort is Ron Paul.

It pretty much tells democrats that Santorum supports a lot of what they like:

Raising the debt ceiling 5 times,

Doubled the size of the Department of Education,

Then supported the biggest entitlement expansion since the ‘60’s.

And even hooked Planned Parenthood up with a few million bucks.

Not all democrats are "democrats"

Submitted by Fins4Freedom on Wed, 02/22/2012 - 10:20.

just as not all republicans are republicans. It's very possible that pro-union democrats in Michigan are "evangelicals".

Sounds like a way to cover up

Sounds like a way to cover up fraud. No way dems are crossing over to vote for a radical religious type.
