Good tagline!

Put them on the stage, and it seems that the others are not in the same class as Newt.

I was troubled with Santorum’s attack on Gingrich over the individual retirement accounts coming out of those taxpayer’s own money that otherwise would go to Social Security.

By Santorum’s logic we could NEVER have individual retirement accounts unless people have to pay BOTH their SS amount and then add an additional payment to their own account.

The only way that is true, of course, is for Santorum to ACCEPT Social Security being part of the General Fund rather than being a set-aside as it was promised to the people.

And, Santorum buys into the logic that you have to “pay for a cut in taxes”...Obama’s logic. Newt was right on with his budget cuts idea. However, Santorum was just assuming that the budget we have and the entitlements we have will always be the case, and we can’t change it; it’s inevitable.

I like Santorum, but he seemed to be voting for the system as is.

That elections matter.

That voting for voting for the most likable guy, instead of the grumpy guy that knew what he was talking about has caused us big problems in the past.

That voting with your feeling instead of with your brain has caused us problems.
