September 26, 2018January 31, 2012 Skip

John Hawkins over at RightWingNews does a lot of polling of Conservative blogsites and the ‘Grok as picked to participate in his latest one. One day ahead of the Florida Presidential Primary, he wanted to know where over 250 bloggers stood on the remaining candidates:

Of the things said at Thursday’s Presidential debate, Rick Santorum said the most important:

Thursday night’s GOP Presidential Debate in Florida was, for the most part, a Mitt-Newt mud fight with their hands tied behind them (re: all they could do was just roll in it). Lots of dirt to spread around. However, Rick Santorum made the most of it, and I believe finally was able to lay in a few good licks, especially on ObaneyCare.

But as far as I am concerned, he uttered the most important words of the evening:

When an audience member asked the candidates how their religious beliefs would affect their decisions as President, Santorum turned to the nation’s founding documents to reference the relationship between faith and governance:

“The Constitution is there to do one thing, protect God-given rights,” said Santorum. “That’s what makes America different than every other country in the world.”

“When you say ‘faith has nothing to do with it’– faith has everything to do with it,” Santorum went on to say over applause. “If our President believes that rights come to us from the state, everything government gives you, it can take away.

“The role of the government is to protect rights that cannot be taken away.”

Former US Senator Rick Santorum was also present at the Hillsborough Republican event. Although the Press surrounding Newt slowed the beginning of the event, they literally SWARMED him afterwards, making it all but impossible for Chair Chadwick to continue with the proceedings. Through the ministrations of Stacy “the Other McCain” and my long term friendship … Read more

Obama apologist Dick Gregory of “Meet The Press” gets schooled by Rick Santorum

September 26, 2018January 2, 2012 Skip

I have, over and over, had one major complaint about the MSM – I have no problem in them asking hard questions of Republicans. In fact, the harder the better; I only wish that they’d do the same to Democrats on a consistent basis. In that, I guess I’d be better off wishing to win Powerball – it happens occasionally but only in the little things, so it seems. And it seems less often still, that someone seen as a Conservative is allowed to best them, especially on TV (which is a reason why I tell people to always record any interview they get involved in, so as to “keep the record straight”).

Well, it happened yesterday as candidate for the Republican nomination for President, Rick Santorum, decided “not to be subservient to get face time”; he decided that when Gregory got in his face, he was going to return the dis-favor:

2012 Presidential Primary – next up, Rick Santorum?

September 26, 2018December 21, 2011 Skip

Everyone, seemingly, has had the Primary Pop except for one: Rick Santorum. Of all of the candidates in the race now, I would have to say that he has put the most time and work into his candidacy. Not just since Primary “began” in earnest, but for much longer than anyone else in the face … Read more
