Santorum is a statist. Always has been.
Santorum is one of those weasels who likes to tell other people how to live. That’s pretty much it.
Lil’ Ricky has been eating his sweater lint again.
Rickie is jes upset that almost all of his former supporters have jumped ship to Ted.
I pray this is Santorum’s final presidential run.
He’s tedious and tiresome and now vicious.
Well, God is the only being that has a right to tell people how to live.
I can’t see treating “gay marriage” and marijuana on the same plane. I just can’t see it. Your marijuana doesn’t ask me to smoke. Your gay marriage asks me to call something marriage that isn’t, asks me to dumb down my own speech before God.
I’d vastly sooner have the marijuana.
Looks like the GOPe is writing some checks out in Iowa.
“...and attacked Ted Cruz for being too constitutional...”
Too Constitutional? Could someone define that for me in real terms?? Other than just Santorum, a big government statist, spewing his hate for the rule of law and America’s founding origins....
My question is, why is Rick even putting forth the effort? Does he seriously think he has a chance?
... And so, in a way, both Cruz and Santorum are missing what matters.
I don’t know that Trump has any policy at this point beyond accepting that a constitutional feature has delivered up to us the status quo. If his deal making is to be taken seriously, offering larger America a voice, then it is going to have to use its voice more wisely. I really get the idea that it, too, would rather have the marijuana than to make people call something marriage that isn’t.
We could do worse than spit on some icons.
If the constitution has delivered up nonsense, then it needs to be revamped somehow. It isn’t bigger than God and neither is the USSC it has wished on us.
Yes, it appears that he and Huckabee, who is not a small government guy, either, have decided to double-team Cruz. Good luck with that.
I like Rick a lot. I voted for his delegates four year ago. Rick Santorum is a good man.
But questioning Ted Cruz’s conservatism is just DUMB. Even Bush, even Trump, wouldn’t try that.
Try another line of attack, Rick.
I find that once you can accept that others can do things you don’t like, provided they are not infringing on your rights or property, than the question resolves itself.
Rick should attack Yheb!, it’d be more useful.
Santorum always struck me as a creepy guy.
This confirms it.
If he is needling Cruz to do more about “gay marriage” in his platform, even if only to be a bully pulpit against whatever constitutional miscues have enabled it to be forced on us without even the greater popular will, he is doing something half good. I don’t care if that is couched as challenging his “conservatism” or what as long as it ultimately focuses attention on the goal.
I am less concerned of the need to put a jihad on marijuana. Marijuana is at worst a symptom and like I said your marijuana will never require me to smoke it. And put that in your pipe and smoke it :-).
But getting 50% of a problem and including a very bad one isn’t “Nothing.”
That Santorum does not get this, should disqualify his candidacy. The distinction is absolutely vital to the working of our Federal system, as it was intended.
