Rick Santorum entered into a shouting match on Neil Cavuto‘s show Friday afternoon, yelling in apparent frustration at the Fox News host after he’d been asked about his recent comment that we “might as well” have another term for Barack Obama than take a risk on Mitt Romney in the White House.

They’re doing this on purpose. Anything to show Santorum as a fool. If Newt was the primary challenger to Romney, they’d be doing the same thing to him.
BTW, did you hear Hannity’s interviews on his radio show today? He starts off with Rick regarding the shirtless photo in PR. Hannity wasted a lot of time with that. Later, he opened the interview with Romney by what Rick said about the PR photo. Har har har. It gives Romney a chance to denigrate Santorum. More har har har.
Meanwhile, Santorum is correct in the point he actually made. Romney is going to pull such a fast and furious McCain on conservatives, it will make our heads spin. He’s going to treat us with the same disdain as Rove, Boehner, Cantor and McConnell do, just to name a few.
Ricky gets away with so much. He said what he said, can’t rewrite history. There was an article on CBS political spread last night about this story. The story had over 5,000 comments. Most of those comments were very negative about what santorum had said and implied. You can fool some of the people some of the time... but not all of the people all of the time.
It’s *really* as shame that you waste time putting down Santorum supporters rather than trying to defeat Romney. Mitt is going to squeeze the tears out of you if he wins, and all you can do is throw mud at fellow conservatives.
Who knows, maybe many of them were Romney supporters.
I caught Santorum on Levin today.
He said right out that if Romney got the nomination that he (Santorum) would not only vote for him, but volunteer to campaign for him.
How about we all vote for Newt?
Santorum is just trying to have it both ways after being caught with his pants down.
That’s the media spin. During the debates all the candidates have said that any among them is preferable to Obama. Santorum was saying what several here of FR have said for quite some time that Romney is Obama-Lite and should Romney be the nominee (which now is all but a forgone conclusion) that voter turnout from the base will be dampened.
Cavuto rocks.
Santorum totally, totally jumped the shark on this.
He really needs to figure some way to fix this, or he’s done.
Kaput.
Hasta la vista. This was as bad as McCain telling us there was nothing to worry about, from Obama.
Can’t fix stupid.
True, but then again, he always asks the crowd to pray for him at his rallies. So, it doesn’t matter to them how many mistakes he makes.
That should settle it. Santorum has always done the decent thing whenever Romney has beaten him. He calls and congratulates his opponent. Politics is no bean bag. After endless days of campaigning, fatigue, and responding to fast-moving events, all candidates make some edgy statements. As Santorum himself put it, it is simply “absurd” to think that he’d counsel a vote for Obama against Romney. The media and major search engines like Yahoo and Google are highlighting this trash and sad to say this include DrudgeReport as well.
>> He said right out that if Romney got the nomination that he (Santorum) would not only vote for him, but volunteer to campaign for him.
Sounds sketchy to me.
I just watched the entire interview. I thought Santorum didn’t help himself. He just didn’t sound Presidential.
I don’t blame Santorum for being frustrated. Some of the attacks against him were unfair, and he’s in the process of losing. Nevertheless, to sound frustrated and angry over matters that are not important to the country as a whole is not the way to show that one belongs in the White House.
Good for Neil Cavuto. Santorum is constantly having to backtrack on things he says. Newt does not have to do that.
Santorum did a good job defending himself. He showed a lot of passion and proper righteous indignation at Romney’s, Drudge’s, and the RINO media’s sickening skewed reporting and spin that goes beyond what we’ve even seen from the mainstream media lately in bashing and negatively portraying the candidates they don’t like. Cavuto is a RINO Romney shill in the same mold as so many of these “conservative” media commentators have become. They took a Santorum line out of context and wildly misreported what he meant by it. There isn’t a question asked by Cavuto here that doesn’t sound like it came off the RINO Romney talking points. The fact that Santorum was really passionate here made him more focused and made him a better speaker.
Believe it or don’t I don’t care. He sounded quite sincere to me...
But I acknowledge that he could be just a more convincing liar than Mittens or Newton are.
He is a fool and a clueless thin skinned dufus. He rivals this guy:

This is being misinterpreted, especially by the pro-Romney crowd, which is desperately grasping at any straw to erase the Etch-a-Sketch remarks.
Romney is too much like Obama — that Mitt is a RINO whose record looks like that of Obama and thus, you can choose either one and get essentially the same thing.
You might remember that Mittens voted for Tsongas.
I was joking — Etcha Sketch.
Romney has said that he is for a national health mandate (Obamacare), even though he is denying that right now. You can find him saying that he is for a mandate on a NATIONAL level, on Youtube.
*Romney ran as a PRO-CHOICE candidate for Governor
*Romney supported Cap and Trade
*Romney supports a national healthcare mandate and is the creator of Romneycare (the blueprint for Obamacare)
*Romney helped give Massachusetts gay marriage
*Romney believes in man-made global warming
*Romney was for the bail outs
