Some of its greatest hits (and the bold is NOT mine): "Rick was successful in his efforts to prevent Congress from making cuts to the food stamp program!
Rick has been one of the Senate's most active leaders in fighting for funding to battle world AIDS and to help eliminate world poverty, working closely with Bono, the lead singer of U2!
Rick has voted for record levels of funding for Pennsylvania's public schools!
Rick has sponsored legislation called "Fair Care" which would help laid-off workers to continue to receive their healthcare benefits!
Rick teamed up with Senator Joe Lieberman to write the "Savings for Working Familieis Act" of 2005, which would expand a matching savings account program for low income families which can be used to help their children afford college!
Rick wrote legislation that would increase the national minimum wage!
Rick helped pass an increase in funding for early childhood development programs such as Headstart!
Doesn't it just make you feel all nice and fuzzy that Santorum thinks government's job is to do all those things with OUR money!!
IN FAIRNESS AND HONESTY, it also notes plenty of good things Santorum did, like helping promote Health Savings Accounts, lobbying reform, eliminating the marriage penalty tax, enforcing immigration law, reforming medical malpractice, and opposing the 2006 Cost of Living payraise in the Senate.
Nope, Gingrich isn't perfect. NEITHER IS SANTORUM. But Gingrich has shaped and changed history much for the better in the U.S. via fighting to implement Reagan conservatism in Congress. Santorum's legacy? Meh ...
MOST important, the guy hasn't been vetted. Santorum fans are taking it on pure faith that he "has no baggage." Gingrich is battle-scarred. Santorum is a puppy who has a penchant for Nanny Government.
Like his Rottweiler brother?
“Gingrich is battle-scarred.”
Gingrich is battle-scarred to the point he is a quadriplegic on life support. Other than his volatile personality, tendency to make wild claims, and unlikability, that is his only drawback.
It would be a very ugly sight watching him go against 0bama...I hope I don’t have to endure it. McCain at least ran a close race, with the help of Sarah Palin. I seriously doubt Gingrich will find as inspirational of a running mate.
