And the Democrats are pitching.
Support FR, support Conservative ideals.
We are [all] 99% now?
Class warfare is being a “real” conservative? I can get a belly full of that moron-sandwhich from the other party. If conservatives are whining about 99 per centers, who needs ‘em?
I remember the Democrats mocking Delay for being a “bugcatcher.” This is no different.
I hope Santorum stay far away from Joe the Plumber.

And Newt is using socialist rhetoric to attack Romeny, what the heck? I do think the concerns of working class people need to be addressed in way Pat Buchanan raised them, but not this Hippy OWS junk
I think this is most unfortunate...Romney is the usual filthy-rich hypocrite using the gullibility of the masses to promote himself, but Santorum is moving from the GWB model to the Obama model rather quickly. I don’t like his big government slant, but I also don’t like his redistributionist streak, which is beginning to emerge now.
Somehow nobody seems to have caught it on Sunday when he urged means testing for Social Security and Medicare, which essentially converts them both into redistributionist welfare programs. This was in the course of his proposal to “share the pain” by reducing benefits to people already receiving SS who in his opinion don’t need it.
People who have paid into these programs all their lives should not be penalized for their success by being denied benefits if they exceed a certain income. If they want to refuse these benefits or give them to charity, fine, but the idea that they should spend their entire lives paying into a fund that will only benefit a chosen group is simply delayed redistributionism.
Actually, the only one who caught him was Gingrich, who said that the whole concept of “sharing the pain” was a mistake and that the objective was to make the programs successful, partly by offering options, but also by restructuring and, in addition, addressing the fraud problem (something Obama refuses to do), which is expected to cost one trillion dollars over the next 10 years. So that was a practical answer that did not involve the usual thing of using taxes (even in the form of SS contributions) to redistribute income.
Santorum would have a zero tax rate for capital gains for manufacturing in order to create new manufacturing jobs in USA.
Walmart cannot move retail store clerk jobs out of the country, so we don't need to sweeten their pot to keep retail jobs in the USA.
There have always been tax credits for kids, even the author of this article had parents that got a tax credit for her stupid ass.
Santorum did come from working people and was a congress critter from PA, the cradle of the unions, and so his views are skewed toward the blue collar folks plus the guy has 7 kids so that might influence his view on tax credits.
