Santorum's new Ohio campaign ad, lists quotes, which appear to be endorsements. Beck, "Santorum is the next George Washington." Rush, "it would be great if he could get to the White House.". Time Magazine, "Santorum....one if the 25 most influential evangelicals in America.". Palin, "Rick Santorum has been consistent protecting the sanctity of life.". WSJ, "we score Santorum's economic agenda bolder than Romneys.". Wash Post, "Rick Santorum, a Tea Party guy before the Tea Party existed."

I love it! Go Santorum. These naysayers are disgusting. You are the real deal. I can’t wait to call you President Santorum. We will FINALLY be back to principles in this country.

Here’s the expanded quote from the WSJ:

‘Overall, we’d score Mr. Santorum’s economic agenda as bolder than Mr. Romney’s, if not as ambitious as those of Messrs. Huntsman and Gingrich.’

Why didn’t Rick use the entire quote?

They aren’t endorsements but they are comments that the named people have made.

Not one of those quotes looks like an actual endorsement to me.

I’d say that Beck and Rush’s quotes are pretty much endorsements. As for Palin and the WSJ, those look to be cherry-picked observations.

And I wouldn’t trust the ComPost to know it’s head from it’s @ss.

Oh come on!! Many like Rush and Sarah has praise Santorum at times but has never officially nor semi-endorse him. Santorum team seems to be cherry-picking nice things said about Rick as though it was an endorsement. Heck, Bill Clinton has praise Sarah once as being very savvy and smart but no way was that an endorsement

Can somebody please post all the major cuts in spending Santorum has voted for during his 20 years in congress? All I am hearing is from opponents about his votes on spending and raising the national debt etc, so I would like to hear the other side.

I wonder how Rush is going to feel tomorrow about Santorum calling him “Absurd” Or and an absurd entertainer how ever he tried to rationalize it. Plus Rush probably won’t like the fact he is being use that way since he hasn’t official endorsed anyone.

Would that be Rush Limbaugh the “absurd” “entertainer” that Rick referred to this week??? ...or, Rush Limbaugh the Conservative spokesperson???

There’s nothing wrong with using quotes other conservatives had said that are positive about him. He would have to say they were endorsing him to be dishonest.

Saintorum is a disgusting liar.

This may add credence to claims made by Arlen Specter, of all people.

Santorum should not have pushed so hard.

He likely pushed one or more to disclaim endorsement of him...

With Rush’s “slut-gate” scandal going on at present, will his “endorsement” hurt Santorum or any Republican for that matter?

The only thing that is an endorsement is a statement saying “I endorse”. Anybody who is stupid enough to read simply statements of praise as “endorsements” deserves to be “fooled” by their own stupidity.
