Santorum: The Paul Ryan budget is “a great blueprint,” but it doesn’t cut enough

But then he does something like tell the Puerto Ricans they have to start speaking English

I thought that was brilliant. I am sick and tired of people thinking they can become a state but not speak English. I know they are already Americans, but dang speak English for God’s sake. You know it is not hard to learn a language. I took Spanish for 4 years in High School, 2 in college and when I went down to Panama (military), I spoke Spanish when I left the military gate. Although I am serving the United States, I am still in their country so I spoke Spanish....was it perfect? No but at least I tried and they appreciated it. The one thing I believe is that with Santorum we will FINALLY have English as our official language....no other candidate would touch that.

I tend to agree with you. Multilingual nations have a poor record of success (Switzerland being the notable exception.) But don't expect to win many elections running on that plank in the country you're telling to change languages. I think it was a dumb move politically.

Of course, I think that including Puerto Rico (and Samoa, etc.) in the primary process at all is pretty dumb, too.

“He must have been misquoted.

As some FReepers like to remind us, he is a big government socialist, possibly even a communist. /s”

lol, I appreciate your sarcasm.

What I like is that Rick has been saying for a good while that he likes Ryan’s plan, but he (Santorum) calls it only a first step and WOULD GO EVEN FARTHER.

Here’s a snip of an interview Rick had with Rush in June of last year:

“I embraced the Ryan plan and said it’s a good first step and frankly I would go even farther than that, ..”
