Of course, listening to Santorum, you’re going to more likely hear about the stuff in his top Pornography article long before you’ll hear anything about energy independence or much else.

And once you get to actual policies on social security, tax reform, etc... well, you don’t get to much that hasn’t been offered before by previous campaigns in this country.

You have to come to the realization that the family stuff has a far too huge a role in his platform, and that it is covering up legitimate questions and doubts about his platform. Namely, that he doesn’t have a strong tax or anti-entitlement platform at all, amongst many other things he doesn’t even begin to discuss.

We see all these policy discussions with Newt Gingrich for half an hour or longer, just talking policy, answering questions, offering ideas.

How come whenever I see a speech by Santorum, it’s talking about family, unity, the American way, religion, blah blah blah, but we never really get a whole lot on actual policies or debating those policies or analysis of those policies compared to his opponents?

The sooner you understand the answer to that question, the sooner you’ll realize why I get so ticked off listening to this guy preach all the dang time.

Rick held more than 400 town hall meetings in Iowa alone. And these weren't the Michele Bachmann hit and run type, where she appeared in order to log a county on the list the week before the election. Word is that these meetings typically lasted for an hour or two and Rick stayed until all questions were answered.

In the years since he lost his last Senate race, he wrote a weekly article called "The Elephant in the Room". Rick has spoken or written at length about a multitude of issues. He hasn't been hiding anything.

You don't like Rick. We get it. You probably don't like some of the things that he is emphasizing. We get that, too.
