To be honest, I would be completely okay with statements like these... if Saint Rick’s campaign wasn’t already revolving around religious/social statements. And not even social or religious issues that are worth talking about. It’s just a meaningless ploy to demonstrate how good of a character he has. That’s why he does it. He just doesn’t realize that we’re looking for a President, not a Priest whose economic platform is utterly dull (besides Mitt Romney’s).

I want someone who is going to tackle social security. I want someone who is going to tackle entitlements. The courts. The tax code.

Rekindling the debate about gay marriage and making that a significant issue... really doesn’t do anything for any of that. It’s just a distraction to the fact that he doesn’t offer much at all.

ROTFL! Rick's campaign speech. "Rick Santorum believes that the key to a strong immigration policy begins with securing the American border. For America to grow and prosper, developing a strong immigration policy must become a priority.' In a January 24, 2011 interview, Sen. Santorum said the United States is in need of more foreign workers. “I do think we need more people coming to this nation who want to be Americans to grow this economy. You want to fix the Social Security problem? Let’s have more workers producing and helping out the situation.... For me, I’m willing to allow increased immigration to this country...”

I really haven't done much commenting about Rick Santorum.
Either he or Newt would be an vast improvement over Obama. Romney would be a placeholder who would be blamed along with the Republican Party when it all collapses. He would just usher in another Liberal Democrat POTUS in 2016.

There's a reason Mitt didn't run for reelection as Governor of MA, and his Lieutenant Governor paid the price when he went for the Office instead. And yes, I know Santorum’s reelection record as a Senator.

Managing the decline is how Newt put it, and he was right on. That would be one of the best lines to use against Obama in the Campaign, except Newt would have to point out that Obama expanded the decline as well.

Newt is numero uno for me and Santorum is a far second.

FR Posters have no problem with Rick telling the truth about Obama, but FR Posters do not make up a majority of the Electorate either.

I like to say I Preach to the Choir but the Pews are empty. Outside of FR, I believe that's true. My Faith is the only thing that will get me through this Election.

Like an Asteroid, Obama being reelecting is a Planet Killing Event.
