Thank God for President Santorum. Funny how FREEPERS are looking through You Tube videos. Just so scared for a President Santorum. God forbid that FREEPERS want a President with morals to run the country. I am glad that most of America does not agree with some of you FREEPERS. Also most people won’t see this video. If you want to go back to 2008 than I think that everything for Newt is open for discussion, but if you mention some of Newt’s negative actions, you immediately are given some dumb excuse.
987 people have viewed this video. Good luck on your destruction of a great man who will be your President in January 2013. lol. 987......your a joke.
I have no desire to have a moral socialist run our country thank you very much.
Folks on this site don’t want to hear it but there is one conservative running as a republician and that is Ron Paul.
I’ve been trying to tell folks who would listen, anyone who thinks Santorum is a small government conservative doesn’t have a clue about the guy.
Santorum is a SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE, he is not a fiscal or small government conservative. He falls more into the “compassionate conservative” mold of Bush than a limited government conservative.
He firmly believes the government should be active in all sorts of things that are not in the constitution, and has said so on many many occassion. He believes the government should be an arbitor of social change, etc etc etc.
Anyone thinking this guy, if he is elected is going to scale back the scope and size of government, doesn’t know Santorum at all.
Come here, let me show you the $500 BILLION tunnel that goes a whopping 1.2 miles that he made sure got funded...
If your goal is a small/limited government, Santorum is not going to be your champion folks.. you have to be completely ignorant of his record if you think he will be.
If Ron Paul came out 6 months ago and said “I will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon under any circumstances” he could actually be president. As it stands, there is no way possible for him to be elected. The only thing that trumps this crappy economy is national security. I am a very libertarian leaning conservative, but anyone who thinks Islamic terrorists have any place in this world outside the scope of a US sniper is crazy.
Santorum has NO CHANCE of being elected if he would be the GOP nominee. 0bama will make mincemeat out of him in no time at all.

Just running this by again because it needs to be seen.
Well for them Governmental Control takes second place to their desires for social issues.....and we'll go down in smoke if Santorum thinks he's going to get congress on board with his social issues.....not going to happen. So it'll be a lose lose if Santorum gets in on both social and fiscal issues....and he'll grow the government and use that control as they never thought possible.
I'm glad this will go to convention....if Newt fails there at least we can say we fought a good fight to the last finish line.....but I've not given up hope Newt has a few things up his sleeve not played and we likely will see that at convention.
....and BTW Newt stepping back is not so much he's failed as he's manuvering this primary.
“Santorum - Republicans no longer the party of Goldwater and small government”
That’s true and Santorum did his part to make it that way.
I’ve been trying to tell folks who would listen, anyone who thinks Santorum is a small government conservative doesn’t have a clue about the guy.
Too many people juat listen to what politicians say without looking back at their actual history to see if they walked the talk.
Can anyone name the President or Congress that shrunk either the number of Federal employees, the amount spent in a year or the number or Federal regulations? Santorum is right. The GOP is for big and even bigger government. That’s why they hate the tea party and the conservatives.
