Rick Santorum and Darrell Issa (Santorum on radical Islam and Defense, etc.)
hughhewitt.com ^ | February 01, 2012 | Hugh Hewitt

Posted on 02/02/2012 7:00:56 AM PST by Sun

HH: snip General Jerry Boykin, a great America, was dis-invited, or was actually asked by West Point to withdraw from a prayer breakfast there after opposition surfaced from CAIR.snip

RS: Well, on the USS Yorktown in Charleston harbor, Jerry Boykin endorsed me for president. snip

RS: So I’m very proud of having his endorsement. This is a man who has spoken clearly, concisely about the threat of radical Islam. And I am not surprised given this administration who has sanitized every reference to Islam or Muslim out of every Defense Department document when it comes to the threat assessment against this country, that you would see this type of behavior from a government that is in denial as to who we’re at war with. And we’re not at war with all Muslims. But we are at war with radical Muslims, and we’d better come to grips with that, and be able to deal with it both here at home and overseas.

HH: Last question, Rick Santorum, and direct everyone to the website, www.ricksantorum.com. The F-35 is under attack. It’s the frontline aircraft of the next 30 years. snip

RS: snip the Obama administration has said that they want to continue to hack away at the Defense Department. snip We need to have the strongest military in the world. snip we need to spend the money that’s necessary to defend our country, and that just doesn’t mean aircraft, snip also includes our Navy, which is getting thinner and thinner and thinner with our capability of being able to patrol the waters around the world. So this is a budget-driven issue, because President Obama wants a welfare state, not a country that is forward leaning, and looking to protect their interests and grow our interests around the world.

This is a good interview which includes other issues, as well as defense, if you want to read it.

REALLY wish Santorum was doing better in the Primaries. MSM focused on RINO madness with Newt and Romney and there is a conservative RIGHT there in Santorum. Sad. Toss in those who say “vote for anyone against Obama. We don’t care.” Pathetic.

Think I’ll write Rick’s name in for POTUS on election day.

This might make you feel better, from the Opening Post link:

“RS: Yeah, I think that we feel very good. I mean, we’ve been doing some polling out here in Colorado, and our numbers are very strong. I don’t know if you saw the numbers out of Missouri. We’re leading Governor Romney in Missouri, we’re ahead of him in Ohio.”
