The Right Scoop
He's not perfect but so far he's the best. Out of all of the candidates his principles are the most aligned with mine. I do wish he had some more experience in the private sector. My biggest issue with Santorum is that he's pretty much a life time politician, but he's at least as socially conservative as Bachman, he's smarter than Gingrich, yes I said it, he's SMARTER than GINGRICH. Well spoken, check. Foreign Policy experience, check. It's kinda funny when you think about it but if you were to combine Santorum's foreign policy with Ron Paul's domestic policy I think you would have a PERFECT CONSERVATIVE.
How do earmarks work? Are they taken out of the budget already proposed by the bill they are attached to or are they added on?
Santorum has stood up quite well each time Beck interviews him. I have always liked him, but am now starting to entertain the idea that he could actually win this thing.
How about 35 yuears as a failed congressman that only seems interested in pork he could get while living off of our dime like a welfare queen? Thats Ron Paul. Thats also not even touching his dangerous issues.
You forgot that Beck says he would vote for nutbag Ron Paul and agrees with Ron Pauls isolationistic ideas on foreign policy except a few parts on Israel.
Because of that Beck also has a few screws loose as well!
It's not been rebutted.
Paul has stated that a newsletter that bore his name ran racially charged statements, and he neither wrote nor read them.
Please give me one good reason to believe that, since you wouldn't believe it of anyone else.
It belies belief.
It's interesting that throughout you entire diatribe, you didn't mention any of Governor Palin's failings.
Or do you think she walks on water?
We'll likely have to suffer through another 4 years of this Failure in Chief, since as Republicans, we just can't get out of our own way.
I highly respect Sarah, and would have loved it if she had run, but I disagree with her on Bachmann. I think either Michelle or Rick would be excellent POTUS.
Good man....Don't agree 100% with him but I agree a damn sight more with him than Paul or Romney....He might get my vote when they come to Florida.
I heard Santorum on the way to grocery shopping, and Bachmann on the way home. Boy, I timed that right! I like them both.
Why do you keep on linking Bachmann with Romney? There is no connection either politically or ideologically.
I wonder if Santorum would really want to capitalize on that, given Rupert's recent "troubles" over in England. I wouldn't, but that's me.
Ron Paul says he has never voted for one single earmark but in fact he has voted in earmarks for his district on many bills. As for earmarks, the congressman requested at least $157 million for fiscal year 2011, and another $398 million for fiscal year 2010, according to his own congressional Web site!
What a looser!
Rick Santorum did a great job at defending his decisions and he is spot on correct about his interpretations on the job of Congress as the nations purse keeper. It is their job. He is also correct that EVERY person in Congress has voted for earmarks. Ron Paul lies when he says he has never voted for an earmark. That is plain false and a big black festering lie!!!
Santorum is also spot on about foreign policy and he is a true hawk to defend the nation and keep a stable world. Rick Santorum really understands that the fight should be taken to the terrorist and not just retreat to the homeland and defend against attack. That only invites the terrorists to attack mainland USA.
Rick Santorum is the man of the hour and is what the Nation needs desparately....a LEADER! Not some marxist american hating liberal weanie like Obama!
On a passing note it was really is interesting to see Glenn Beck begin to faulter because his idiology conflicts with a true Conservative like Rick Santorum. Glenn Beck appears to have personal conflicts and you can see it in his body language as he is listening to Santorums answers. He had the same look and body language when talking to Newt Gingrich.
Interesting because it tells alot.... Libertarians are not Conservative Republicans.....
Just out of curiosity, but has Beck apologized to Tea Partiers for that race-baiting crap? I haven't noticed anything when I do a web search for it... If he has, would love the link to it...
Until he does, however, I'm not watching or listening to him...
Right now I cant see : Mitt(liar),Newt(untrustworthy),or rudePaul(crazy) being better than him.
I can give a laundry list of reasons why not to vote for them, not as many for santorum.
It think he's a great choice at this point.
