“It is about time Newt took the gloves off instead of protecting Santorum to play the odds against Romney.”
I agree. Rick has been getting a free ride. He isnt a formidable candidate, mainly a puffed up “not Romney” with nothing else to run on.
Santorum has managed to avoid any examination of his record or any challenge to come up with any ideas. Every time he tries, he says something stupid that his fans have to explain away - such as today’s idiotic remark blaming the mortgage crisis on the high price of gas.
Of course, that’s probably because Santorum doesn’t want to admit that he was in the Senate at the time that some of the bad programs were initiated and, to my knowledge, never made a peep about Fannie and Freddie. Or maybe he’s just really so simple-minded he thinks everything was just fine in the mortgage and banking world until gas prices went up???
