Ron Paul Dirties Self With Santorum So Mitt Romney Doesn’t Have To

Ron Paul is doing all the work for his absolute best best best friend in history, Mitt Romney. Look at this here scary new ad about Rick Santorum, perhaps titled "Rick Santorum Voted For Everything That Everyone Except Me Voted For," such as the foreign aid budget and hikes in the debt ceiling. Are Ron Paul and Mitt Romneyconspiring to take Rick Santorum down? Probably, because he is another candidate in a political race and this is what you do.

How close are Ron Paul and Mitt Romney? Romney, according to theTimes, offered his lakeside New Hampshire palace to the Pauls last year. He very well could've stolen Romney's 500 barrels of Werther's Originals & myrrh and sniffed out his dirty underwear, for opposition research. But alas:

When Mr. Paul’s campaign jet broke down last year in Wolfeboro, N.H., Mr. Romney’s wife, Ann, offered to let Mr. Paul, an aide and one of his granddaughters stay the night at their summer home on Lake Winnipesaukee. When Mr. Romney arrived later, he offered his jet to take them home to Texas. Mr. Paul, not wanting to impose, was grateful but declined both offers.

What a sweet man that Mittens is, to Doctor Congressman Ron Paul. Now let's see Paul run third-party to screw over Romney in the general election anyway!
