You can't fix the fiscal issues until corruption is rooted out, and corruption is not a fiscal issue but a moral and heart issue.

There is no point of cutting the budget, get rid of debt when people have not learned the lesson and corruption has reared it's ugly head again.

Getting away from God, falling away from our Nation's Moral Moorings is just exactly the reason why we find ourselves in this mess in the first place, you can't put the cart before the horse.
You can't not, nor will it ever be fixed until the moral issues are addressed first , and yes, Moral issue IS a issue of survival.

Would you give a known druggie your hard earned money to feed them ? and cloth them knowing that they will just spend the money on drugs anyway ?
How about someone who does not know how to manage their money ? and yes, managing your money is also a moral issue, because it leads to the matters of the heart.. your priorities... should they pay their bills or go take that same money and gamble it away ?
Should parents give their children their inheritance knowing that money would be spent unwisely ? got to teach them the morals of saving money, using it wisely.... it all boils down to morality.

So what does Karen Santorum’s miscarriage have to do with moral issues? There are millions of women who experience miscarriages, there are millions of women who were never blessed with one child, let alone seven. There are millions of families that experience horrible loss. They pray, cry but they get through it. I will tell you a moral issue I have a problem with, Karen Santorum, on the eve of super Tuesday uses her personal tragedy to get votes for her husband.

I don’t know that this was a miscarriage, the child was born alive and lived a couple of hours. I think very premature is more correct.

Just tune in to Karen Santorum’s personal tragedy, conveniently released on the EVE OF SUPER TUESDAY. . I find this disgusting, whether it was a live birth or miscarriage, it is tragically opportunistic in every sense of the word and Rick Santorum should be ashamed. I am not a Santorum supporter but if I was, this alone would make me rethink my vote.

Did you watch the video? She was being interviewed by CBS news. She addressed the nasty remarks made by liberals and even some conservatives (I’ve actually seen some on here do it) that she did something wrong by taking her son Gabriel home from the hospital after he died. She said they took him home to have a funeral. To take this tragedy and her addressing the nasty remarks she has recieved and use this to prop up your candidate by trying to make her seem like she is unstable and/or attempting to get a sympathy vote, is so incredibly low.

CBS interviewed her now; blame them. You know what I find disgusting? You accussing this woman of using a tragedy she was addressing in an interview due to negative comments made about the way she and her family grieved as a ploy for sympathy votes. You’re also using this to get Santorum people to switch to Gingrich presumably.

>> If she were Newt, she would have dismissed the question and launched into a 3 minute monologue about energy policy

Exactly. Energy policy is sooo overrated.

That’s my problems with Mr. & Mrs Santorum on this issue. They don’t have to answer such a stupid question from the media but they always grab on to it. And talk and talk and talk about it. Why can’t they let go of it?

Like I said, many, many, many women have lost children. She isn’t the only one.
