[Santorum] said...“...it’s not like there’s a better way to make things in these other countries. It’s just the cost is higher here because of our tax and regulatory structure.”

Voodoo!

Gingrich has also spoken about “incentivizing” things like flex fuel vehicles.

We're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little more now if we can and the rest next quarter.

Did I miss the memo that says conservatives are no longer against corporate taxes? Because I thought we really wanted to eliminate the corporate tax rate altogehter, because it’s just double-taxation that gets passed on to consumers and makes domestic business uncompetitive.

(Well, I know Cain wanted a 9% corporate tax rate, but that was still a lot smaller than the current tax rate).

Rick Santorum is touting his promise to eliminate corporate taxes on manufacturers...[that's] coming under scrutiny from conservatives who are decrying it as thoroughly unconservative.

Hey Rick, quit picking winners a losers.

Try across-the-board tax cuts and reduced spending.

But conservatives worry that when Santorum talks about the issue, he sounds a bit too much like President Obama, who has made revitalizing manufacturing a key plank of his economic platform.

“There’s a natural evolution of our economy toward high-intellectual-capital things like software — that’s not manufacturing, and that’s OK,” Hassett said. “To say that trend is something we should reverse through tax policy is just the height of economic illiteracy. It’s inexcusable.”

Actually, if you paid any attention to the timing, Santorum had the manufacturing idea out there BEFORE Obama. Also, software is being offshored too, and everyone is not equipped to be a software engineer in any case. Santorum is suggesting that where it's reasonable provide some incentive for people to be able to make a living without an advanced degree. Heaven forbid it violates pristine free market economics, but considering we're all owners of the largest automobile company in the world at the moment, it doesn't strike me as extreme for some reason.

...Romney has tried to paint Santorum as a big spender and a friend of labor unions from his days as a Pennsylvania senator.

There's no "tried to paint" about it at all. It's just shedding some badly needed sunlight on the senator's record.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...
