Continuing in the line of questioning about attack ads in campaigns, Ron Paul was asked if he agreed that such tactics should end. Paul said, “They should be abandoned if you’re not telling the truth, but if you’re exposing a voting record, I think it’s quite proper.”

He then described an ad used against Rick Santorum, saying “I only had one problem: I couldn’t get all the things in I wanted to say in one minute.”

Santorum responded that Paul’s ads quote many Left-wing organizations and that “of course Left-wing organizations say a lot of bad things about me. I would expect them. I wear that as a badge of honor, not something that I’m ashamed of.”
