The question everyone asks in the campaign for the Republican nomination for President is "Who is the genuine conservative?" Obviously, it isn't Mitt Romney nor Newt Gingrich.

Obviously, it isn't Mitt Romney nor Newt Gingrich.
And just take a peek at Rick Santorum's Big Government voting
record , rather than his current rhetoric, it's clear he is also
a counterfeit conservative.
When you compare it to my record on opposing Big Government,
deficit spending, and reckless growth in federal programs, I
think you will conclude that I am "the real thing."
Just like the other "flavor of the week" establishment
candidates, Rick Santorum's campaign will come crashing down once
voters learn of his Big Government record.
In fact, my campaign just put together a TV ad called "Betrayal"
highlighting Rick Santorum's long record of being part of the Big
Government, big spending status quo in Washington. Won't you
take a minute to watch it.

And, if you possibly can, I hope you'll agree to make a generous
contribution to help me run this ad in New Hampshire, South
Carolina and the other key early states.
As you'll see from my ad, Rick Santorum is anything but a
conservative. Just consider his record, which includes:
*** Padding his own wallet as a corporate lobbyist at the
expense of taxpayers;
*** Voting to RAISE the debt ceiling five times;
*** Voting to DOUBLE the federal Department of Education;
*** Voting with liberals like Ted Kennedy on multiple
occasions in support of Big Labor's radical agenda;
*** Urging more federal involvement in housing with Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac;
*** Voting to create a brand new, unfunded entitlement,
Medicare Part D, the largest expansion of entitlement spending
since President Lyndon Johnson - creating $16 TRILLION in
unfunded liabilities;
*** Endorsing liberal Big Government RINOs like Arlen Specter
over conservatives. Of course, Specter later became a Democrat
and worked hand-in-glove with President Obama to pass his radical
agenda;
*** Voting for Sarbanes-Oxley, which imposed dramatic new
job-killing accounting regulations on businesses;
*** Supporting raising taxes on oil companies, which directly
costs Americans more money out of their pockets at the gas pump;
*** Voting for gun control;
*** Voting to give Social Security benefits to illegal
aliens, while voting against an additional 1,000 border patrol
agents;
*** Voting to give $25 million in foreign aid to North Korea;
*** Voting to send hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars
to Planned Parenthood - the nation's largest provider of abortion
- and hand out hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign aid to
enemies of Israel.
But unlike many of my other establishment opponents, Rick
Santorum isn't even trying to sweep his Big Government record
under the rug.
He's proud of it!

Rick Santorum said constitutional conservatives have a "crazy"
idea that government should "keep our taxes down, and keep our
regulations low."
Not only that, but he endorsed Mitt Romney just four years ago!
How can the "alternative to Romney" also be a Romney supporter?
The truth is, Rick Santorum has no national campaign and no
funding to compete against Mitt Romney, let alone Barack Obama.
And as I've laid out, there's no way his Big Government record
can stand up to an ounce of scrutiny.
On the other hand, my campaign has seized the momentum in New
Hampshire and elsewhere after my strong finish in Iowa.
That's because I've been warning about the dangers of Big
Government, out-of-control spending, and runaway inflation for
years.
In fact, I'm the only candidate to predict the current economic
mess we're in right now.
In 2003, I predicted the housing crisis and pushed to get the
government out of the mortgage business.
In 2008, I fought TARP and the Fed when they laid waste to our
economy, while others in this race applauded their disastrous Big
Government intervention.
And unlike my opponents, I am absolutely ready to enact real
spending cuts, right now.
In fact, my Plan to Restore America cuts $1 trillion in federal
spending during the first year of my presidency by eliminating
five federal departments that I can actually name - Education,
Energy, Commerce, Housing and Urban Development, and Interior.

As President, I'll balance the budget by year three without
cutting one penny from our veterans, our senior citizens, or our
national defense.
That's what sets me apart - my plan, my record of being right
while others were wrong, and my unmatched and unwavering record
of fighting for fiscal responsibility and constitutional
principles.
In a nutshell, it's my conservatism that's winning the day.
And today, I'm asking for your support.
These are troubling times for our country - times that call for
conservative leadership.
A counterfeit like Rick Santorum won't cut it.
As I run for President, I want to make sure our Republican Party
keeps its strong commitment to limited constitutional government
and free market solutions.
The only way to do that is to nominate someone in 2012 who
predicted the economic crisis long before it happened. Someone
who has conviction and has fought against Big Government in
Washington his entire career.
And if you are so moved, I'd appreciate it if you would consider
contributing to my presidential campaign, as well. I don't have
big corporations or special interests behind my campaign.
But I do have hundreds of thousands of individuals who care about
getting our economy moving in the right direction again.
Whatever you can do, $500, $250, $100, or even $50, will help.
Together, you and I can Restore America Now.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
P.S. Considering the trouble our nation is facing, we simply
can't afford to nominate a counterfeit conservative.
As my new TV ad shows, Rick Santorum is just another counterfeit
conservative with a long record of being part of the Big
Government, big spending status quo in Washington.
The truth is, I'm the only candidate left in the race with the
fundraising, organization and track record to defeat both Mitt
Romney and Barack Obama.
So please, support my campaign and help get my message out to as
many voters as quickly as possible.
