Ping!

[Repeal The 17th]

“...ban abortion, discharge gay soldiers, and abolish the 9th circuit...”
-
Which of these does the executive branch have the power to do?

[Lancey Howard]

Wow!
That’s a good start.

[Lancey Howard]

Which of these does the executive branch have the power to do?

All of them, by good appointments and leadership.

[ProudFossil]

And if I am elected president I promise to put a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.

[agrarianlady]

In the meantime, we’re slipping into economic totalitarianism and kids are being taught straight-up Marxism.

Santorum has a good message, but a bit tin-eared for our time.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

While he's focusing on the right things, The Constitution gives Congress the power to set up federal courts. I see a spot for Santorum in Keith Olbermann’s “Worst Persons in the World”.

[GreaterSwiss]

santorum is dangerous.. if he can get rid of the 9th circuit would u be happy if obama did it to a republican leaning circuit? u would flip... he should only do what constitution allows. which is to fill vacancies with senate approval.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

I think the moral issues are more important. The free market cannot survive public immorality.

[Logical me]

Don't care for him but will go for abolishing the 9th circuit court bunch of anti-Constitutional communists.

[bigbob]

By these statements he shows how little he cares for separation of powers and how desperate he is to attract a little attention before he flames out.

[Cheerio]

I support all three of these proposals, but I am afraid the American sheeple will balk on the gay issue - culture ROT.

As for abolishing the 9th Circus I wish every GOP candidate would take this pledge.

[pallis]

Promises, promises, and good ones too, but fulfilling them will require more than a willing president. What a president can do is shrink the size of government and government interference, and help revive this nation, so we can start reversing bad economics and cultural degeneracy. It is going to take a conservative president working with a conservative Congress to save this country, and it won’t be easy.

[hinckley buzzard]

Sorry, I find Santorum just a little weird.

[Dr. Sivana]

It’s a bit late to win over hard core conservatives with fresh red meat. Smells like pandering. I like Santorum, but I think he should serve well in a cabinet position before running for pres.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

As for abolishing the 9th Circus I wish every GOP candidate would take this pledge.

Not in the office of president. Setting up and abolishing federal courts is the job of Congress, not the president.

[freespirited]

Sorry, I find Santorum just a little weird.

Me too. And more than a little charisma-challenged.

[not2worry]

These kind of promises tell me Santorum is either desperate or off balance.

I, agree very WEIRD!

Santorum is a solid guy and a true Conservative. It’s mystifying how too many Republicans take someone elses word that he’s unelectable. If he is the nominee he’ll get my vote. Here in PA our primary is so late we have no say.
