Santorum's new Ohio campaign ad, lists quotes, which appear to be endorsements.
I love it! Go Santorum. These naysayers are disgusting. You are the real deal. I can’t wait to call you President Santorum. We will FINALLY be back to principles in this country.
Here’s the expanded quote from the WSJ:
‘Overall, we’d score Mr. Santorum’s economic agenda as bolder than Mr. Romney’s, if not as ambitious as those of Messrs. Huntsman and Gingrich.’
Why didn’t Rick use the entire quote?
So you don’t find this just a little misleading?
They aren’t endorsements but they are comments that the named people have made.
FReepmail Antoninus to be added or removed.
Not one of those quotes looks like an actual endorsement to me.
If you saw the entire ad, they sure are represented as endorsements, except for the last clip showing him playing with his little girl.
last clip showing him playing with his little girl.
The next George Washington? What would you call that if not an endorsement.
I’d say that Beck and Rush’s quotes are pretty much endorsements. As for Palin and the WSJ, those look to be cherry-picked observations.
And I wouldn’t trust the ComPost to know it’s head from it’s @ss.
This ad ran in MI and all of the parties said nothing to distance themselves from it. As a matter of fact, they all still continue to support him to some degree. If you want to talk about misleading, lets chat about the Mittens negative Super PAC ads that he has been running against Newt and Rick.
“they all still continue to support him to some degree.”
Time and WP support Santorum? I thought Glenn Beck was in the Romney camp.
Oh come on!! Many like Rush and Sarah has praise Santorum at times but has never officially nor semi-endorse him. Santorum team seems to be cherry-picking nice things said about Rick as though it was an endorsement. Heck, Bill Clinton has praise Sarah once as being very savvy and smart but no way was that an endorsement
Do you even listen to him? If you did you would know he hates Newt and always slams Milt for his Progressive nature. The only candidate he has been talking up lately is Rick especially since Bachmann dropped. You seem to be incredulous that prominent people have said complementary things about Rick.
Can somebody please post all the major cuts in spending Santorum has voted for during his 20 years in congress? All I am hearing is from opponents about his votes on spending and raising the national debt etc, so I would like to hear the other side.
I wonder how Rush is going to feel tomorrow about Santorum calling him “Absurd” Or and an absurd entertainer how ever he tried to rationalize it. Plus Rush probably won’t like the fact he is being use that way since he hasn’t official endorsed anyone.
Would that be Rush Limbaugh the “absurd” “entertainer” that Rick referred to this week??? ...or, Rush Limbaugh the Conservative spokesperson???
Santorum is a Rino weakling. But the one issue crowd loves him because he thumps his bible alot.
