OKLAHOMA CITY – No more Mr. Nice Guy for Rick Santorum.
The newly-energized presidential candidate on Thursday launched a full-throated attack on front-runner Mitt Romney, saying the former Massachusetts governor’s campaign “has been about serially tearing down opponents without offering any kind of vision for what he wants to do for this country.
“This is the gotcha politics of Mitt Romney,” Santorum said, sounding complaints almost identical to those lodged by rival conservative Newt Gingrich against Romney after Gingrich won the South Carolina primary last month.
“He’s not interested in talking about the issues,” Santorum said of Romney. “He’s interested in trying to pander and make political sauce when there’s real substantive issues about how we’re gonna try to change this government. And he’s on the wrong side of it.”

Are you a Paul bit peddling this latest scam got the crazy 9/11 truther !
When has the wonderful Newt strood up for Rick ?
Try Never !
Making snarky comments like he is not smart just show you have
So little to attack Rick about !
Why are we trashing are only options here ?
That was George Allan (R) VA
Actually Santorum's campaign is running a negative ad on Newt in Ohio.
Poor kettle is calling rich pot black.
Santorum adviser John Brabender said an ad will be running on national satellite radio, along with another, spot already airing that casts Santorum as a stronger conservative choice than Gingrich. The idea is to criticize Gingrich for proposing fiscally irresponsible, pie-in-the-sky ideas when base GOP voters are deeply concerned about the deficit.
“We’re putting an ad up today addressing Newt Gingrich’s comments on the moon colony idea, which has been estimated at half a trillion dollars to build what he wants to do,” Brabender said
Newt has NEVER said that the idea will be accomplished with public money, but that he counted to enroll private companies to achieve a great program and not leave the space to the Chinese and Russians who are heavily investing in it.
Santorum possesses a petty mind.
Watch Newt Gingrich speech at a town hall discussion in Cocoa, Florida, south of Cape Canaveral. He discussed his policy on the future of the U.S. space program. January 25

This was a link I got from a Republican women’s group — don’t know how effective these onliine petitions are, but I signed it, at least.
“Newt has NEVER said that the idea will be accomplished with public money, but that he counted to enroll private companies to achieve a great program and not leave the space to the Chinese and Russians who are heavily investing in it. “
And why in the world would private companies want to take on something that will cost a half trillion dollars with no potential of making any profit?
If you really want to compete with the Chinese, we could start by not owing them so much money.
“When has the wonderful Newt strood up for Rick ?”
He stood up for all of the candidates when he decried the MSMs attempts to foment conflict at the debates or their continuous attempts to funnel Obama talking points into all of their questions.
He was always taking the high road. Didnt matter if it was Cain problems or Perry’s stumbles. Even he tried to stay positive when it came to Bachmann’s attacks.
Newt has NEVER run an attack ad on Santorum, while Holy Ricky ran them against Newt while he was being attack by the GOP-E in Florida!
So you will have to pardon us if we hope that Newt doesn’t lift a finger in defense of that worm.
Okay, now that he has said this, he needs to move on and not let reporters constantly goad him into attacking Romney or Gingrich.
He can say something like, “I would prefer to use my time explaining to the voters what I plan to do in order to reverse the damage that Obama has done.”
Joining in your prayer, Thank you.
The height of irony and chutzpah would be to build an American moon colony ... with Chinese money *grin*
That’s a match betwween conservatives and RINOism !
Go Newt and Rick....
"I am deeply concerned that Senator Santorum so easily relinquishes space development to the Chinese and Russians.
"American success in space is not only about being the first to develop a station on the moon. It is just as much about the explosion of math, science, engineering and national security technology that will launch America into a new age of innovation and prosperity.
"We owe it to ourselves to set grandiose goals and then achieve them. It is the American way."

-—He is FAR from perfect but is a humble willing servant-—
He’s a staunch defender of life, which means that he has a good will. And a good will is more important than a great intellect.
OTOH, Odumbo is a staunch defender of infanticide, which should be all that needs to be said about him.
What if God wants Newt ???
