Paul on Santorum: 'He's a fake'

Ron Paul was asked about a new attack ad he's running slamming Rick Santorum, accusing him of being a fake.

Why, he was asked, is he running the ad?

"Because he's a fake," Paul said, to laughter.

He went on, "I find it really fascinating that when people are running for office they're really fiscally conservative." And he hit Santorum for votes like the debt ceiling increase and No Child Left Behind.

About 95% of currently serving Republicans have voted for debt ceiling increases in their careers. It's only suddenly become a BAD THING.

Bush did it several times without even a mention in the gutter press.

The supposed libertarian who opposes gay marriage and abortion rights, has no room calling anyone fake, even someone as vile as Santorum.
