you remark: “agree - also his record on earmarks is bothersome ...”

This Q & A after the debate Sat. nite is very disturbing - or should be -

Pretty boring, all in all - but when he defends spending for earmarks saving that money doesn't come from the same pot as ‘entitlements’ - so it's okay - and lumps Social Security in with the same level as food stamps, disability $$$ and free medical (no 50 yrs prepay/no monthly deduction/no copay) and saying he would cut Soc Sec right away - well, I think he's going to lose a lot of seniors if they actually hear him explain his plan - if they can keep from going to sleep while he's trying to explain it, with the attitude that we're too stupid to understand, that he's ‘heard the ‘we've pre-paid for 50 yrs’ and that still doesn't mean SS is an ‘entitlement’ program... etc etc

Here's the link - If you listen to both Newt's session (skip the meet & greet and start at minute marker 5) and then contrast it with Santorums following and ask yourself, “At this most perilous time for us and our country in our lifetimes, who do we need?”

If y ou just want to listen to Santorum’s all-around-the-mulberry-bush explanation of why his ear marks are fine but Soc. Sec. needs to be cut right off the top (Newt's plan on Soc. Sec. gets it back in line, but fairly for both young and old) - start listening at minute marker 43:50
