They run their campaigns the same as people use their credit cards. Borrow now, pay back later. They all do it. This is endemic to just Santorum and/or Gingrich. Regardless as to whether they win or lose their respective election, once the campaign is over they go about the business of cleaning up the debt, and cleaning up debt is ironically what this country needs. I would think that someone that knows how to do it would make a good President.I don't know how or who runs campaigns but that is a good point. Although aren't most campaigns usually in the red in the end? I remember Hillary was deep in debt when she folded. Dunno how normal it is but it just confirms my belief that we have to get the money out of elections.
No, there's no reason to be in debt. If anything, running as a fiscal conservative and calling for strict budgeting, you would think that you would walk your talk and not continue campaigning if you can't keep yourself funded and in the black.
I don't want to hear you running your mouth about debt and deficits and about how you're such a hawk on it, when you can't even budget your own campaign properly.
This is horrible logic and I don't really think you believe that shit. There's no reason to defend that kind of fiscal behavior. Romney doesn't run debts, even Paul doesn't run debts and he's OUTSPENT Gingrich and Santorum and hasn't even won a state or gotten credibility in the media, and STILL has a couple mil on hand.
At 15 trillion national debt, 100 billion dollar deficits each month, there's no excuse for any more debt of any kind, anywhere.
The reason they can't stay funded is because people aren't enthusiastic enough about them to give them their hard earned money, and big business is already maxing out on Romney. They got most of their votes because the media gave them relevancy. Ron Paul actually NEEDED every dollar he raised to earn his votes. There really wasn't much of a reason for Gingrich to have gone that far into debt.
