I didn’t watch the full debate, however, Rick’s answer on Central America (posed by someone in the audience) was spot on. I don’t know if he can make the general but I have always considered Rick an expert on foreign policy and someone who knows who our enemies are and not afraid to say so. Secretary of State? He’d be an excellent candidate, IMO.
I also like his ideas on manufacturing. He is a man of his convictions...and my second choice behind Newt.
“And that Mitt Romney is a wealthy guy because worked hard and he’s going out and working hard? And you guys should leave that alone and focus on the issues”
It’s just frustrating because Romney’s tax plan is the most anemic and Newt has a flat tax, no capital gains tax...yet Romney will be hailed as the pro-capitalist candidate because of Newt’s attacks.
He did well but he will not win FL.
Gingrich or Romney will win.
It’s up to Santorum which one.
Take one for the team, Rick.
Santorum kicked b*tt alright, I hope millions upon millions, particularly fence sitters and the brain dead, were tuned in from sea to shining sea when he gave a brief version of “Founding Fathers Documents And Our Blessed Roots 101”. They SO need to hear this. This is something in a million years you will not hear in modern day American public schools, out of Obama’s trap, nor expressed by Obama’s sycophantic atheist liberal MSM toadies.
Rick was really strong, especially on the issue of Romneycare. At this point, it doesn’t matter what Romney says, if Mitt is nominated it will be the greatest endorsement of Obamacare that the dems could ever hope to get.
IMO, too much time spent on Newt/Romney finances, tuned out early in the debate. I think Wolf set the stage for this.
It was truly Rick Santorum’s night!!! Florida Republican voters, you have the opportunity to strike a posiitve blow for Freedom, Liberty & Opportunity. All you have to do, is to get out and vote next Tuesday by the “Millions”. It does not matter who you vote for, be it, Santorum, Romney, Gingrich or Paul, they all are100% better then, failed “America Destroyer”, POTUS Barack Hussein “Muslim Brotherhood Lover” Obama!!!
I take my hat off to Mr. Santorum, number one, for coming forward to squash the foolish, idiotic bickering between Gingrich & Romney which no one really gives a hoot about!!! And.....number two, for his eloquent outline of our “conservative” cause. Thank you, rick Santorum!!!
The objective here folks, is to defeat Barack Hussein Obama and destroy the Democrat Party politically!!! I want both Gingrich and Romney to stop their infighting....and, doing nothing other to attack, attack attack, the would bedestroyer of the American Republic, Barack Hussein Obama!!! as a matter of fact, if i had the opportunity to vote in the Florida primary, my vote would be wholeheartly cast for Rick Santorum. I have just about had it with both Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. I do not give a darn about their past, whatsoever!!! I care about one thing and one thing only, defeating Obama so we can save our country for our children and grandchildren, period!!! Gingrich & Romney, get real, deadbeats!!! Rip the political heart and soul out of “Dirt Bag” Obama, not yourselves, and the Republican Party!!!
I’m watching the dvr recording now. So far you seem right. These are GOP debates are becoming circular firing squads.
Think back to the debate in SC. That debate was much more substantive because in it they discussed the problem of patent and copyright theft, abortion, gay marriage and other real problems.
In each case, Santorum stated that there should be FEDERAL legislation to solve the problem.
When Santorum was in the senate, he cosponsored a bill will Elizabet Dole that would have changed the ability of animal owners, specifically the owners of dogs, forever. Clearly a matter for states. Clearly not one of the powers enumerated in the Constitution.
He spouts off about the wonders of the Constitution, but in fact he is a big time statist. In short, a rino.
He did better than ever. I have watched every debate, and this was the first one in which he showed some fire.
Keep it up, Rick!
Yes he was quoting, almost word for word, one of Newts' speeches.
I jumpped off my couch watching Rick Santorum DESTROY mittens!
Santorum stood out because Newt failed to put a stop to Romney’s personal attacks.
He should have deflected them and made each response about the issues and how he would deal with them.
It was a sorry night for Mitt and Newt.
People had to keep reminding me why I dislike Santorum to keep me off the ledge.
I agree Rick was very very good. If there were a bit more time, he might have gotten a bigger bump in Florida. He may still do well there, but it’ll be tough.
