This is the video I’ve been waiting for all day. After his speech tonight, Santorum was asked by CNN reporters about the Drudge headline today (“SANTORUM’S SATAN WARNING”). He responded by saying “It’s a joke…it’s absurd.” He then said:
I’m a person of faith. I believe in good and evil. If somehow or another because you’re a person of faith and you believe in good and evil is a disqualifier for president, we’re going to have a very small pool of candidates who can run for president.
But after they persisted, Santorum then challenged the media and said they can dig up old speeches if they want to, but he is going to continue to talk about America and stay on message:
Guys these are questions that are not relevant to what’s being discussed in America today. What we’re talking about in America today is trying to get America growing. That’s what my speeches are about. That’s we’re going to talk about in this campaign. If they want to go ahead and dig up old speeches to a religious group they can go right ahead and do so. I’m going to stay on message. I’m going to talk about the things Americans want to talk about which is creating jobs, getting our country safer and secure, and yeah taking on the forces around this world who want to do harm to America. And you bet I will take them on!

Santorum’s aides are now openly going after Romney for his “Mormonism”. Can you spell disaster?
Myth is not injecting his religious believes into political discourse. Saint Rick is, attacking women who use contraception or work, attacking Protestants and now Mormons.
If you want to stop the slaughter of babies, you need to find a candidate who will win. Santorum would be lucky to be withing 20 points of Obama, once his outlandish holier-than-thou statements become known.
I hoped that Santorum would be smarter and more controlled than newt who reacted to personal attacks by lashing back and ended looking like a raging badger
Appears he is. I am hoping Palin is giving him advice on not giving in to the dark side
Newt is an angry man and it just shows through. He loses it.
So is Mcpain but he controls it in public with his very tight jaw muscles and oily platitudes
obama also is an angry man. Covers it with public charm.
this type of angry man- not good for a potus. Totally ego driven.
Santorum is not an angry man- what a difference. People are sensing that.
Soon we see Dana Carvey doing the Church Lady again
“It’s SATAN!”
yes, evil disarms with humor
“Surely you don’t believe that stuff?”
audience titters, some nervously
He is brilliant. Omg I sound like Oprah. But seriously, he says the things inside my head that I wish a candidate would say! Proven by myyesterday’s posts here. Just wow.
That's the reason you do not see demonic possession in the developed world like you do in the undeveloped world and like you do in the Bible. No reason to "hide" when people know you are there...but if you show people something they can't explain...then people may start looking for God.
He is saying contraception (artificial) is bad for women.
Chemical hormones that interfere with reproduction are bad for women's health, even if we want to be in denial about it. It's the big “shhhhhh...”
and then the argument, well pregnancy is bad for women's health, yada yada yada
I haven't see attack women for working. If he believes working women is bad for families, so be it. That is what he believes and what he and his wife live. He doesn't say you have to live the same way,
Many working women know this guilt in hearts but do not want to accept it or think they have no choice or rationalize it in the interest of self actualization.
After 2008 we know that liberals secretly think a working woman neglects her family- if her name is Sarah Palin
Newt deserves nothing. The "Smartest Man In the Room's" campaign is a shambles. He is the one who has actually crashed and burned by his own admission last week and by any other measurement you would like to use. He has pulled totally out of the MI contest and in his own firewall state, GA, he is even with Rick and Milt. Can you tell me how the dude flat lining in the bottom of the polls with Paul deserves my anything?
Good points all.
All you are proving is, you are on a bullet train to nowhere. You will learn that the hard way, after it is way too late. (Don’t worry, I will be one of the first to remind you after your pipe dream unravels.)
I predict a Brokered Convention, as well as a Third Party effort to develop on top of this insanity.
Yeah, Leno knows where his bread is buttered. So he will use Satan punchlines for Santorum jokes but no sucking on a crack pipe while someone else is sucking on his pipe in the limo jokes about obama.
[Newt is an angry man and it just shows through. He loses it.]
So am I. For good reason, Rome is burning.
[Santorum is not an angry man- what a difference. People are sensing that.]
Exactly why Santorum is the wrong guy for the job. Mr. Rogers will not lead the charge into the valley of death.
A third party option is every bit as viable. (Gingrich/Palin) Official “Tea Party” debut.
Based on what? Do you really know how conventions work and who is in attendance there? Obviously not if you are daydreaming about this fabled brokered convention where somebody who didn't have the balls to step up to the plate when it counted and RUN will somehow be installed as the nominee. BC are a concept of a bygone era where we didn't have a Primary system set up. The closest either party got to one was the GOP in '76 and the Rats in '84 and both those situations were between candidates that ran in the Primaries and not some outsider. Name whoever your mythical unicorn candidate is going to be at this BC and explain to me where their support will come from when all the delegates at the convention will either be diehard supporters for one of the 4 candidates or establishment state party grandees?
I love how you roll into Santorum threads like clockwork with your deep seeded hatred of Santorum claiming he is going to lose without any factual proof or examples. It really exposes what your agenda truly is. Getting milquetoast Milt nominated.
Besides, you give little Ricky the stage and let him think he is the one to beat, he starts running his mouth in all sorts of outlandish directions.
Drudge and his buddy Coulter have been solidly in the Romney camp for a long time. Drudge attached Newt, now it’s Santorum’s turn. I still don’t get Coulter’s adoration of McRomney.
“we’re going to have a very small pool of candidates who can run for president.”
Ut oh..I think we are almost there if we are not already.
You are wrong.
It won’t work, it will only cause great harm.
Exposing impostors like Santorum is not “deep seeded hatred”. It is known as properly vetting a candidate, which in Santorum’s case is long past overdue.
That is not true. You know why I know? Because if you don't recall, people critical of Newt here at that time were Zotted. All Santorum people kept their mouth shut and went with the flow.
You call Santorum an imposter. What makes his record worse that Newt? Santorum's beliefs and voting record has long been vetted. That is why Milt isn't able to destroy him in MI with his barrage of negative adds like Newt was hurt. You are wishing that people will jump on your "No social issues" bandwagon. It isn't happening is it. Rick is actually hitting a pocket of disaffected voters who have been waiting for this debate and fight.
