Ron Paul calls social conservatism a “losing position” for Republicans --and the public opinion polling data show that he's right.

On CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley Sunday, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul ripped into former Senator Rick Santorum‘s voting record as well as his campaign rhetoric, calling social conservatism “a losing position” for the Republican Party going into the November general election against President Barack Obama.

The twelve-term Republican Congressman from Texas, known for his independent voting record and libertarian political philosophy, argued that there are bigger and more urgent issues at stake, issues that will resonate more with American voters concerned about our nation’s future.
