I'm not very impressed with Rick Santorum but he did hit one out of the park in the last debate.

SANTORUM: I think we need to hear what Governor Perry's saying. He's saying that his policy was right. He believes that what he did was right. He thinks he went about it the wrong way.

I believe your policy is wrong. Why — ladies and gentlemen, why do we inoculate people with vaccines in public schools? Because we're afraid of those diseases being communicable between people at school. And therefore, to protect the rest of the people at school, we have vaccinations to protect those children.

Unless Texas has a very progressive way of communicating diseases in their school by way of their curriculum, then there is no government purpose served for having little girls inoculated at the force and compulsion of the government. This is big government run amok. It is bad policy, and it should not have been done.

[McGruff]

Santorum hammered Perry for pushing a Texas mandate that would have forced young girls to receive an HPV vaccination. Since getting into the campaign, Perry has said that he regretted not bringing the measure to the Texas Legislature for review rather than issuing an executive order — and then said that the measure should have been an opt-in rather than opt-out requirement.

Sounds like John Fing Kerry is running again.

What a sanctimoneous jerk. Go away Rick, your time is up!

[ari-freedom]

Santorum is a nice guy with a good conservative record but he just doesn’t have what it takes to be a leader.

Why Santorum’s day has passed ping.

[AFveteran]

Hey Santorum, have you forgotten about the beating you took in your last run for office too? Apparently not.

[AFveteran]

Hey Santorum, have you forgotten about the beating you took in your last run for office too? Apparently you have because I’m still having to listen to your idiocy.

"A politician thinks of the next election; a statesman thinks of the next generation."

So far I only see three that I consider in the 'statesman' category - Santorum barely makes it as a politician!

[bert]

Santorem is an inconsequential loser. He has no gravitas and trails trivial where ever he goes.

[luvie]

Santorum who?

I have forgotten him.

[casinva]

Well Senator Santorum who knows so much...

Rick Perry has already said all I needed to know about Israel.

(Excerpt)

Gov. Perry went on to describe his support for Israel from a religious point of view, saying, “I’m a big believer that this country was given to the people of Israel a long time ago, by God, and that’s ordained.”
