livescience.com— A study of the rate of eye-blinking among the candidates reveals a surprising conclusion about Rick Santorum, who out-blinked all of the other Republican candidates..

Wow, who is wasting their time counting the amount of times they blink. Invest that time in what they say, and what they have done in the past as elected officials.
Because they're lying and likely destroyed the evidence? Apparently ,like 80-90% of what we communicate is non-verbal! I'm guessing that Santorum was either lying his socks off or has very little conviction in what he's saying!
- I hate gays
- I hate muslims
- I hate anybody not a Christian
- I hate Ron Paul
- I hate anybody who doesn't want to nuke the entire Middle East
- I hate anybody who is educated
Ya know...if all of a sudden a bunch zombies would busted out on the debate stage saying, "BRAINS......I want to eat your BRAINS." .....The only one who would have been in danger would be Ron Paul.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
Well if you don't care...and I don't care.....why bother?
Do you mind writing a commentary about the reason a comment like mine makes people dislike Ron Paul supporters? Or is your assessment just a lazy, judgmental theory because your panties are in a knot over my post?
I call his opponents brainless...you get upset. Yet the media and anyone else who opposes Ron...have no problem ignoring the man...and calling him "crazy".

I only vote for candidates that never blink, obviously they are the best.

who cares?

Excessive blinking could be an indicator that someone is lying or at least misleading.

Or has dry eyes...

Or an errant eyelash, or any number of things.

woah, romney right up there and he's well practiced in the wide-eyed, hold back the blinks look.
To bad Mrs. Bachman quit, that's a contest she could have won.

"Invest that time in what they say"
Sounds good, let do that. Santorum says:
- I hate gays
- I hate muslims
- I hate anybody not a Christian
- I hate Ron Paul
- I hate anybody who doesn't want to nuke the entire Middle East
- I hate anybody who is educated
Done.

Santorum blinked 61 times per minute?!??!
That's slightly more than one blink per second! That's some pretty intense blinking...

Must be all the cocaine he snorted during his gay stripper party.

^ This is why some people don't like Ron Paul supporters.

Huh? What because I support Ron Paul and think the other candidates are stupid?
I could care less if someone doesn't like me because of my political comments and choices. Whoopee ding.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

I don't care who you support. But your comment is an example of why people don't like Ron Paul supporters.

I think some of Paul's ideas are good.
Other of his ideas seem out of touch to me.
But to say he's the only candidate with a brain? That's why some Paul adherents come off like a dickish cult.

He's still got nothing on Bob Dole.

Not this crap again.

I wonder if there have ever been any studies done on correlation between blinks per minute and closeted homosexuals who run for public office?
razorsfuryJan 11, 2012
Wow its funny because I think Santorum is the one most likely to tell you want you want to hear to get the votes.
