WALLACE: Rush Limbaugh has now apologized to the Georgetown law student who said that her student health plan should cover birth control. But your party is still pushing this issue. In the Senate, they offered a Blunt amendment this week which said that any business, any insurance company could decide on moral grounds not to offer birth control coverage as part of the health insurance plan.
Do you really want to be campaigning on contraception in the year 2012?

1. Fluke could have started a Mutual Aid Society for female students at Georgetown. A society like that would empower women, not INFANTILIZE them. Here's an example of a mutual aid society2. Fluke could have directed impoverished law school students to Wal-Mart or Target, where they could by birth control for $9 per month.
I used to have respect for Wallace and watched his show every week, but, now, realizing what he really is, I almost never watch.
I watched an interview he did with Santorum some weeks back. All he wanted to talk about was homo “marriage”. It was annoying and creepy.
Then, yesterday, I gave him another shot because I wanted to see Santorum. Wallace made all but one question about birth control. It was sickening.
I was disappointed in Santorum for not changing the subject. The Obamunists want to keep the conversation about birth control and how conservatives are just spoilsports who want to keep everyone from having sex.
It’s a pretty smart strategy, given our culture’s obsession with sex, as it keeps everyone from paying attention to the deliberate Obamite destruction of the economy.
Just like O'Reilly continues to rail...."Why doesn't Rick change the subject when they ask him the social, moral or subjective type questions....why doesn't he talk policy?"--(O'Reilly wants to show Rick how to deflect debate questions & give policy answers)
HOWEVER...O'Reilly,....when he had Rick on his show just last week.... asked the deeply penetrating policy quesion of ....
'Rick what do you think of Obama'.....
And when Rick gave him a gracious answer & started talking policy...
..O'Reilly repeated...'but Rick, I want to know what you think of Obama'....and Rick AGAIN started talking policy...
..and the 3rd time O'Reilly started in the 'but I want to know what you really think of Obama'....
..and Rick finally says...."He's a good husband and father"....and then tried to talk policy.
Yeah, O'Reilly, you really had your chance to ask some great policy questions............BUT YOU DIDN'T
Some of you would rather continue with 'Why didn't he'.....instead of appreciating or expressing support for Santorum's gracious & honest replies.
What Elephant?

Of course not. Do you not see that it is the leftists who are trying to make it about birth control? This keeps Santorum from discussing Obama’s deliberate efforts at causing economic collapse.
If you recall, Little Georgie Stephanopoulos (sp?)brought the birth control question seemingly out of nowhere — now, we know better — in one of the earlier GOP debates. Then, a few weeks later, the WH brought the battle to the Catholic church about providing abortion-inducing substances, sterilization, and birth control for its employees.
At first, I was puzzled and wondered why the WH would want to go to war with the Church right now. It soon became crystal clear that this was a brilliant way to 1) direct attention away from the economy and 2) paint Santorum as a killjoy conservative who wants to poke around in everyone’s bedroom.
Wallace is guilty, IMO, of advancing the Obama agenda.
Why the hell does Rick let himself get dragged into these issues that are not the determining issues of this race? He never wins the “debate” in those instances. Why the hell didn’t he say: “Hey Chris, wanna talk about he Economy or Foreign Policy or rising gas prices?” No, he keeps walking right into the media’s trap.

Exactly. His people need to work on this with him.
(Do you really want to be campaigning on contraception in the year 2012?)
On my paying for it for lost people?
Yes, if we are to have any hope of saving our Nation....
Not all of us want to be sluts, whores, pimps, and assclowns destined for Hell Mr Wallace. That may work for you, Mr Wallace but I’ll pass.............
But, but, but, but, but, the FRingrichers say it’s all Santorum’s fault. He should just shut up. Never mind that Wallace only had questions on this one topic. It’s Santorum’s fault.
It’s Santorum’s fault.
It’s Santorum’s fault.
It’s Santorum’s fault.
It’s Santorum’s fault.
It’s Santorum’s fault.
What part of “it’s Santorum’s fault” don’t you understand?
The solution, FRingrichers believe, is for Santorum to refuse all free media. Then he’d not have to answer these gotcha questions.
He’d also lose the one form of media he has to have in order to compete with Gingrich’s Las Vegas billions and Romney’s Bain Billions.
But it’s Santorum’s fault. It’s Santorum’s fault. It’s Santorum’s fault.
Repeat after me: It’s Santorum’s fault.
Must be true if it’s repeated so often.
I
I quit watching fox news.
How is it that its the default of the MSM that its the GOP attacking free birth control??
seriously?
Chris Wallace has finally become MIke Wallace. Time to get him a segment on 60 Minutes.
“I agree with Acton......what kind of fair and balanced interview was that?”
Sorry, I didn’t see anything out of line. It was a tough interview, so what?
I didn’t see any attack on religion, I saw a politician being questioned. I support Santorum by default.
The modus operandi any more around here is to whine when your candidate gets questioned, or when all the other candidates don’t drop out.
When did following politics become like parents watching their 6 year old playing soccer on Saturday morning after junior gets kicked in the shin by another player?
Why are supporters of individual candidates such babies?
(only a semi-rhetorical question.....I really am curious why supporters of every candidate whine so dang much this cycle!)
Politics is supposed to be a contact sport.
Sorry, I don’t see a Soros conspiracy. The tough questioning only works to Santorums advantage.
Even if there was bias in this interview - and I don’t think there was - any politician who isn’t ready to handle the inevitable curveballs from a biased media is out of their league.
“Why not, Wallace is a liberal butt hole.”
I didn’t think Santorum was blindsided. I think he did OK, not great, but he did OK.
You don’t think it was unfair of Wallace to show Obama giving 14% of his income to charity last year while he and his cheap wife gave less than 1% to charity before he hit it rich with his dumb book and government connections? I though that was as dishonest as one could get.
Rick loves to have an audience and he has not learned how to say, " You want to talk about ________, I want to talk about gas prices, Iran and the threat to Israel, the Keystone pipeline, the EPA, the price of electricity and the shutdown of coal plants, so Chris, stop axing me about free rubbers and ax me about everything I've just described. Asshole.
Do not change titles.
“You don’t think it was unfair of Wallace to show Obama giving 14% of his income to charity last year while he and his cheap wife gave less than 1% to charity before he hit it rich with his dumb book and government connections? I though that was as dishonest as one could get.”
Santorum resisted the urge to say “Those guys have more money than me.....” He have a great answer. It worked to Santorums advantage, I think. “Hey, I got 7 kids and one of them needs exceptional care”
He was putting the candidate on the hotseat. I didn’t have a problem with it. It wasn’t unfair, in my opinion. It was an opportunity to knock it out of the park. Santorum got, maybe a double. Not bad - not as good as he could have done.
