Santorum was on that stage because he was supporting this platform, and wanted that man to be President and head of the GOP. As a Romney person yourself in 2008, do you think Santorum was right in desiring this platform below, do you?
3:46 mark: “In 1996, I intend to win the other house — the White House — with ten commitments to America… including a woman’s right to choose…
13:22 mark: “Even though we have this historic opportunity for these achievements, there are those in our party who would lead us down a different path — and squander this unique moment in our nation’s history — by using our political capital — to pursue a radical social agenda — that would end a woman’s right to choose…
13:48 mark: “When Pat Robertson says there is no constitutional doctrine of separation between Church and State, I say he is wrong…
14:31 mark: “When Ralph Reed says a pro-choice Republican isn’t qualified to be our President, I say the Republican Party will not be intimidated or blackmailed by those kinds of threats.I, and millions of other pro-choice Republicans, will not be disenfranchised and made second class citizens.
15:33 mark: “… it is not Christian, or religious, or Judeo-Christian to bring God into politics; or to advocate intolerance and promote exclusion.
15:54 mark: “I want to take abortion out of politics. I want to keep the Republican Party focused on the vital economic and foreign policy issues — and leave moral issues such as abortion to the conscience of the individual. I believe abortion is an issue to be decided by women…
16:40 mark: “I pledge to lead the fight to strip the strident anti-choice language from the Republican National platform…”
It is obvious that Santorum is merely saying the things he knows the base wants to hear. How stupid can these people be, to buy this BS without a second thought?!
I heard you the first time. I already stated outright that Santorum was wrong. I never liked Specter. You’re going to have to do better than guilt by association. Rick Santorum is not Arlen Specter.
I still don’t see how associating with Specter is worse than associating with Nancy Pelosi, though. Santorum endorsed the man ... you’re making policy associations to pro-choice statements Santorum never made. Gingrich actually explicitly endorsed that woman’s socialist “climate change” policies.
