[Just like George W. Bush] .......”He sees government as the means to conservative ends. But in using government to get conservative ends he has expanded government and set precedents for liberals to use government in the same ways for more liberal government. Rick Santorum was complicit in making Americans more dependent on government and justified it under the rubric of compassion.”

“Governor Perry let loose the observation that “George” — and the Bushies hate it when Perry calls him “George” in public — “has never been a fiscal conservative.” Never? “Wasn’t when he was in Texas . . . ’95, ’97, ’99, George Bush was spending money.” He also criticized Bush as being limp on immigration.”

On the “Meet the Candidate” [extended] segment of Bret Baier’s Special Report program - Oct 19, 2011 - (”Center Seat” guest Rick Santorum) the panel discussed with Rick Santorum his 2008 endorsement of Mitt Romney. (they showed a clip and then discussed it)
Perry continues hammering Santorum on earmearks today in Waterloo:
WATERLOO, Iowa – Texas Gov. Rick Perry demanded former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, whom he dubbed a “prolific earmarker” yesterday, explain his support of earmarks for pet projects, including a teapot museum and an indoor rainforest.
“Senator Santorum, just to get a little more specific here, please tell me why you asked taxpayers to support the bridge to nowhere in Alaska. Why did you ask the taxpayers of Iowa to support a teapot museum in North Carolina, an indoor rainforest in Iowa, and the mountain sheep institute, Montana sheep institute? Why were those important enough for you to vote for?” Perry said to more than 100 people crowded into two rooms at Doughy Joey’s Peetza- Joint.
Why all the negative campaigning against fellow conservatives? Reagan would be ashamed of you.
You want to go negative? Do it against the liberal Willard or the nutjob Paul.
Conservatives UNITE!
Anyone who calls Santorum a “pro-life statist” is a MORON! LOL Erickson has turned out to be an establishment hack. Bob
Santorum is a big mistake. The man does not understand freedom as well as he understands morality. Morality can be used as a sharp spear against the constitution...what’s left of it, anyway.
It’s like Sarah Palin getting angry that the Supremes overturned a state law which banned protests at military funerals as hate speech. She was right that protesting a funeral is hate speech; but she did not grasp that if the state could squash hate speech she rejects, socialists would run a bull dozer through that power and squash most of Palin’s Christian/moral speech, which they classify as hate.
Conservatives have to be able to think like lawyers or excellent chess players when seeking power and solutions.
