Rick Santorum's weird handshake with Ron Paul

What a horrid man. Shakin' that old man's hand, and arm, with such aggression while he is sitting down.

Santorum appears to be trying to assert some self imagined dominance over Paul by being overly aggressive with the handshake. Santorum must be feeling inferior to Paul to do such a thing.

How predictable, this thread is full of hate from the culture of death.

You already dish God, now it's Santorum. When are you going to wake
up and pray, on your death bed? What if die suddenly?

You can curse Santorum all you want, more important is your free will
choice to choose God.

You have an eternal soul and all the mystical confirms the Blessed
Trinity.

Paul is the "fake" with a 50% voting record on life. And he's never spoken against Romney in 20 debates. He's been running for President, is it 30 years now?

Do you have any clue as to what you as going on about? Who said anything about "fake"? Paul has spoken against Romney and this is the 3rd time Paul has ran for the presidency.

Thanks ManBehindTheMask,

Liberals are out to get Santorum. They won't discuss what he actually
says.

As a senior, I'd like to add my two cents.

It appears that Santorum is trying to help Ron Paul stand up. See, it is normal for the young to assume that men our age have difficulty standing up - and this is often true, so sometimes they help us. I think that is what we are seeing here: an example of the 'lift-shake' whereby the youthful man uses the handshake to help the older man stand up. It works really well when both parties know it is occurring, we get to stand up at the speed of youth, and you young guys get to help us - and all that entails.

*TL DR Santorum was just helping an old man stand up but it looks really awkward.

**Really TL DR: Man get help standing up.

***Really Really TL DR: Lift-shake. Good.

It looks like Santorum is trying to start a pull start engine

Considering all the talk about Ron being too old/having dementia/not being tough i.e. foreign policy.. I wonder if Santorum was trying to hurt him as to make him look weak or something.
I know it seems silly, but a lot of voters base their choices on appearances and trivial stuff like that rather then actual policy.
Its also fairly clear that Santorum is just running to make the other war monger candidates seem a little more normal and appealing; so they would be able to use him to do stupid stuff like that.

Just a thought, not saying it's so.. But either way Santorum was being way too ruff.

Very innapropriate and unprofessional

Looked like a defeated handshake to Ron Paul

How "ruff" is Ron Paul, who is suppose to be an OB, a doctor saying
if his daughter was raped, he would give her a shot to end the pregnancy.

He said he wouldn't use the "shot" if she were a few months pregnant.
Paul is the "fake" conservative. I voted for him in 08 but knowing this
now, no way.

Paul should know life begins at conception.

It really seems like your trolling, but I will bite:

I don't see what moral authority you have to dictate how others live their own lives. If you don't want to do such things then don't, but don't let your opinions affect others because that is how our world has got so messed up; people with opinions thinking they know everything and creating hate and confusion in society by forcing beliefs on others.

IgnorantSpecies,

This is a discussion forum, people give their opinions and beliefs. You
are upset because you don't like my opinion and beliefs. I can call you a "troll" too but I understand you are giving your opinion here. No one is "forcing" "you, I don't care if you don't believe what I do.

Pretty light to be accused of "trolling", but many Libs, secularists on the forum, can say the most vile things but if you talk about morality, they get so offended.

I am on topic, the discussion is about Ron Paul and Santorum.


God bless you,

I think he was trying to rip his arm off for calling him fake. lol
