MONTROSE, CO - Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum took a new jab at Newt Gingrich, saying he wants to "endanger" the former Speaker.
The dig came during a campaign rally in Montrose, CO., as Santorum railed against the federal government's environmental regulations.
"These are your lands! Oh but they always say we're doing it for your benefit," Santorum decried.
"We'll make sure that you don't do something to scar the land or you don't do something to endanger a newt. No not that Newt, different newt. I want to endanger that Newt - that's a different story."
The line drew laughter from the audience but Santorum has been serious in sharpening his attacks on Gingrich in recent weeks....

So Sanitorium has come out of the closet as a Stalkinghorse for Mitt !!
Yep. Most of the Range is even worse than Denver, with heavy federal funding also to the least populated of areas. I’ve never seen so many Republicans leaning to the extreme left in favor of big, local spending and against property rights.
I love Rick’s sense of humor. Wish more people would lighten up once in awhile.
While on the road, Santorum was teasing Rick Perry about not remembering the three things he would cut in a former debate. This was after Perry had attack ads against Santorum.
At a following debate, Perry mentioned three items, successfully this time, and looked over at Santorum, and said, “How was that?” Santorum laughed, and it seemed liked Perry and Santorum were kidding, like two brothers would.
Thankfully, candidates are not as thin skinned as their supporters.
