Santorum is Sneaking Up
February 07, 2012
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Beth in Boulder, Colorado. I'm glad you waited.
Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.
CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I appreciate you taking my call.
RUSH: You bet.
CALLER: I'm calling today from Boulder because I love freedom, and we're having our caucuses in Colorado today.
This weekend I've been listening to the debates, and I wanted to actually see some of the candidates and hear them before I made my decision.
I went to the Santorum speech that he gave up in Loveland on Saturday. And I was surprised.
I've heard a lot in the debate process about jobs and the economy and immigration, and those are vitally important issues, Rush.
But I feel like I feel like the most important issue in this election is freedom.
I've gotten glimmers of that in the debates.
You know, when Santorum was talking about health care and challenging Mitt Romney on that,
and when Newt was talking earlier in South Carolina, I've heard those glimmers.
But I haven't heard anyone come out and express to me as an American, talk to me about my freedom.
I went to this speech on Saturday, and it wasn't a stump.
For the next hour, Rick Santorum -- he came out, he had no notes, no teleprompter
-- had a conversation with us as Americans about our freedom.
And it was the most amazing thing. It was like the CPAC speech that you gave several years ago --
RUSH: No, nothing's like that.
CALLER: I'm not saying that, but it was beautiful.
RUSH: I get your point. Yeah.
CALLER: It was amazing. And he started with King George and the French Revolution and how Americans figured out after the French Revolution --
a war that was fought on our soil for the benefit of England really by Americans
-- that basically the government that gives to you can take away from you.
And he went from there to the Declaration of Independence and our Founding Fathers,
and he dialogued with us about this -- or not dialogued because it was a back and forth.
But he talked with us about this and how our Founding Fathers laid their lives on the line.
They pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor for this
and how the French Revolution was going on at the same time.
And they had the liberty, yes. They had equality. They had fraternity.
And it didn't work because their freedoms were from each other --
RUSH: Let me just...
CALLER: -- unlike our freedoms --
RUSH: Let me tell you something.
CALLER: -- in the Declaration of Independence of Independence, which comes from God.
RUSH: Santorum is sneaking up.
Public Policy Polling has a story out today (the North Carolina polling firm) that he's gonna do well in Missouri, Minnesota and Colorado.
If all these things happen, it could have the potential, the possibility, to upset the applecart --at least from the standpoint of inevitability for Romney. And I find it fascinating.
Romney all of a sudden...Now there's a big opposition research file on Santorum.
Now they think they've banished Newt, so it's Santorum."The only difference between Santorum and a bag of excrement is the bag."
Last week Santorum was the nicest guy in the world!"Sweet guy. So sad about his daughter."
Today, Santorum is no different than a bag containing excrement. That's it,
and I think it's too late to pull this. This is typical opposition research.All of the people are sophisticated now.
All of a sudden, all this rotten stuff about Santorum?
He's a big government conservative?
He is talking about freedom, you're exactly right.
And this HHS, Health and Human Services, mandate against the Catholic Church is a great example of how we are losing our freedom.
It's about how it's being challenged on all fronts.
And I said:Santorum, of the conservatives remaining, is the one with the least baggagein terms of abandoning conservatism at times over his career.
I'm glad you called, Beth.
I appreciate it.

"But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it;lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God."
We need to put
that into
"context".
To do that, we need to know what had just happened before that.
Let's start with
"Ananias, with Sapphira his wife", whom
"Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost ... have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord".
They both died immediately,
"And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things." Then, the
"Establishment" ...
"were filled with indignation, and laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison".
But
the LORD released them to do His work, and the
"Establishment" "doubted of them whereunto this would grow ... for they feared the people".
Then,
"the Establishment" questioned them and threatened them.
"Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said,We ought to obey God rather than men.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
And we are his witnesses of these things;and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them."
Then, a lawyer told
the "Establishment" to
Then finally, we get to
the truth of the matter.
"But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it;lest haply ye be found even to fight against God."
But it didn't end there.
The "Establishment" still
But
what did the apostles do?
"rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ."
Don't listen to the
"Establishment".
Speak the truth, and OBEY the LORD!

I could vote for Santorum, but a Romney vote is out of the question for me. I really think you are speaking for many FReepers. While my first choice will be Newt, right on through the convention, if Santorum is ultimately the candidate, I will have no problem voting for him, and I dare say it will not be a "holding my nose" kind of vote.
On the other hand ...if Mitt Romney is the ultimate nominee to face Obama, I will NOT vote for him (doesn't even matter about my nose). Bishop Mitt Romney is unacceptable and is being revealed as Obama-lite every time the comparisons between Romneycare and Obamacare are made public.
The latest evidence is the mandate for religious organizations to be forced to comply with birth control requirements regardless of their convictions.

They are not distant relatives, its his grandparents, and facts like these say a lot about where a person comes from.
That’s why he believes in government solutions, and supports holding workers hostage to unions and forcing them to join and pay dues against their free will.
