I'm really hoping we see more of Rick coming up to 2008... ;)

Santorum went up a notch in my estimation.

Well done, Senator, well done!

Perhaps they misunderstood Gates ... when SecDef says "engage Iran" it might have a different meaning than when SecState says it. My follow up to Gates' statement might be "with how many divisions?" /wishful thinking, reality resumes

[KarlInOhio]

The difference between Ohio and Pennsylvania: We voted out a weak kneed RINO. They voted out a good senator.

One man with the decency to be true to his convictions. No wonder he doesn't fit in with "the new tone."

[ustanker]

Well done Senators,Well done.

Sens. Joseph Biden D-Del., [and] Evan Bayh, D-Ind [abstained].

Two real strong decision makers there--and these two clown wanna be PRESIDENT??

[standingfirm]

Rick Santorum is one of the very few politcians I really like and respect. Too bad he lost the Senante in PA. He would make a great President.

[engrpat]

I sure wish he would move to Texas and run. We could use a good Senator.

[Nancee]

"Santorum, who lost his re-election bid last month, mocked the idea of engaging dictators and talked at length of the evils of 'radical Islamic fascism.' When it comes to reaching out to Iran to discuss the security of Iraq, Santorum said of Gates, "I think he is in error."

I'm keeping this good man and great Senator in my prayers. I want so much for us to "...see more of Rick coming up to 2008... ;)"

Follow the money

[fleagle]

Excellent!

Santorum is the man.

[NeoCaveman]

See my tagline.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Why are Biden, Dole, etc termed "lawmakers" and Santorum and Bunning characterized as "Bush allies"? They are all "senators" the last time I looked.

Bias, anyone?

[melancholy]

A total misunderstanding of the ME thought process:

Negotiator = weak -------> loser

Gates is a loser BEFORE he starts to negotiate. He's supposed to be the rock behind our troops. He comes in with a near-unanimous vote by pleasing everybody.

Last time I checked; you don't win ANY war by pleasing everybody. If everybody is pleased and even calling you victorious you must have lost BIG!

[Dustbunny]

I'm really hoping we see more of Rick coming up to 2008... ;)

Us too!!!

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

This really good man should in all fairness be our next President.

[Gritty]

Santorum For President!

[little-e]

I wondered who the 2 senators were that voted against Gates......gotta love Santorum.....

[Valin]

Does anyone have a link to the speech?
