Now that is totally insulting on your part. While I'll take your advice and try and come up with some audio of the Nobel Peace Prize morning, please don't patronize me as if my opinion of Santorum is based on any damned thing the press has said. It is not. It is from 20 years of observing the man myself.
The Maine story is astonishing. RP almost certainly won, and they simply declared Mittens the winner to keep his campaign alive.

CBS is REALLY on the warpath for god Barack today.
Honor system -- no skimming, no skipping one and lingering on the other. Please take the challenge and read every single word of BOTH, fair shake. Take the time -- you owe it to your country and to America's children.
Santorum is 100% correct on this. Government run schools have failed the students, their parents and the taxpayers. More politicians and pundits should have the courage to speak out on this and tell it like it is.
I'd like to see an end to all government run schools.
>>Now that is totally insulting on your part.<<
My apology if you felt insulted.
That morning, I sat waiting to cross children at our local school and listened to Rick. I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself.
While I was actually not stating that your total opinion was spoonfed by the MSM, you have to admit that ANY drop of sunshine from anyone with an R after his name is hidden like a horcrux in Harry Potter.
When Santorum and Glenn Beck get together it’s fun too!
Which president put his kids into the local dc school? Did any?
Homeschooling is private schooling.
I’m all for abolishing fed control of k-12 education. Period. Look. It isn’t working.
Taxpayers here pay $12,000 a year to educate every kid. I pay far less than $1000 a year per kid to homeschool and we get a lot of cool stuff. To have a homeschooling family in the WH would be awesome.
Have you seen this doofus explain that parents don’t know what’s best for their kids? Only educators can serve them in their best interest....

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could get that 12,000 a year to educate our own?
Geez, we blow 400.00 a year on Switched on Schoolhouse and it is good for both kids. That extra 11,600 can buy a lot of printer paper and ink!
Santorum with Chrissy Wallace showed that he has quite the sense of humor and kind of a sly smart one. I find him very genuine and likable without any hiding.
I did away with it long ago. My kids have never seen the inside of a public school. It doesn't take legislation to do away with public schools, it takes conservatives who are willing to choose an alternative.
With due respect, RS could make a bodily noise and you would respond that it was smart and funny.
(personally, I’d vote for a ziplock bag over Obama)
I'd rather he'd left off the second part, but hey, I'd JUMP at having that kind of axe taken to the Federal Dept. of Education.
Wouldn't you?
... Santorum's webpage doesn't mention the Dept. of Ed. at all, unless I missed it.
Granted, we could sure do a lot worse than Santorum. I'd vote for him over Obama. But here's the deal ... we could also do a lot better than Santorum.
Godspeed Newt Gingrich.
He’s framing it in a way that will put off the uninformed. This guy will get hammered in the General with these overly simplistic remarks.
Public schools were once decent, and many still are. Rick should underscore the infestation of Leftism that destroying the virtues of PE.
Come on, Santorum, get a clue.
You may get your chance.
“It may be that the homeschooling community has a candidate to rally around and support.”
Which amounts to maybe two percent of the population, who vote conservative anyway.
This ping list is for articles of interest to homeschoolers. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping List. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added or removed from either list, or both.
The keyword for the FREE REPUBLIC HOMESCHOOLERS FORUM is frhf.
OK, I have done what you asked. But just looking at the names on the links reveals what always annoys me about Newt Gingrich (since this seems to be a thread where we all get to talk about what personally annoys us about candidates).
Specifically, Santorum had this long, inviting name: “restoring america’s greatness through educational freedom and opportunity”. Without reading a word of it, I think “who could be against that? I love greatness, I love educational freedom, I love opportunity.
Gingrich?: “A 21st Century Learning System”. OK. Policy Wonk time. More “making our lives better through better government programs”.
In the details, Gingrich has some good stuff, Santorum has some good stuff. Santorum starts with parental freedom, Gingrich from reforming government.
