“Is this dude serious?”
In what could potentially be a big boon to Mitt Romney, Ron Paul is up in Michigan with a scorching new ad attacking Rick Santorum’s purported fiscal conservatism. The closing scene tells the story: “Rick Santorum a fiscal conservative?” the narrator says before an image of Big Foot fills the screen. “Fake.”
