Ron Paul supporters, OWS protesters join forces to harass Gingrich, Santorum

17. 'Regardless of any other differences?'

You mean that you're prepared to support someone who hates social safety nets and is prepared to let the poor or sick die, just because he's the enemy of some other people who also hate social safety nets and are prepared to let the poor and sick die?

All right-wing politicians are scum. All who campaign against government provision of healthcare and other public services are scum. By all means, let us welcome the divisions on the Right - if the supporters of Paul, Gingrich and Santorum all turn on each other, that is great! But that doesn't mean that the supporters of Paul have any common interests with left-wingers. The former want a libertarian jungle where the weakest go to the wall; the latter want a welfare state and greater economic equality. The two visions have nothing in common.
