Very tired when writing. Stuff on his “theme is liberty” material didn’t do the material justice. Oh, well. It’s at CFIF, please read the link.

Why don't you just get a job with Scamtorum?A speech on liberty from this theocon is like one on modesty from Madonna.

Zombie Reagan| 3.9.12 @ 10:35AM

You mean Santorum's Sermon, don't you.

"Santorum's anti-libertarianism manifests itself in the fairly exapansive view of state police powers he appears to endorse in his criticisms of, naturally, Griswold and Lawrence v. Texas (the latter decision struck down Texas' anti-sodomy laws)." Jim Antle

In other words, Ricky wants to use the cops to bust down the doors of homos and arrest them.

I see. Advocating the value of religion as did John Adams is advocating theocracy? You must be an atheist, obviously.

aware| 3.9.12 @ 9:28AM

Scamtorum is no John Adams. When it comes to liberty he is a great big hypocrite.

The "value of religion" is never enhanced by politicians. I was unaware that support for a lying criminal politician(as they all are) was a prerequisite to faith. Thanks for clearing that up.

" A limited Government ....Means UN-LIMITED Opportuniy for EVERYONE"

What about Santorum's concession speech when he was last defeated in his senatorial race in his homestate of Pennsylvania?????????

Anommynous| 3.9.12 @ 10:20AM

What about Mitt's concession speech when he couldn't defeat Ted Kennedy from the left??????????

Oldefarte| 3.9.12 @ 10:43AM

The POPE could not defeat anyone with the name KENNEDY in the state of Massachusetts, dummie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anommynous| 3.9.12 @ 11:00AM

That doesn't excuse Mitt running as a liberal.

Oldefarte| 3.9.12 @ 3:09PM

Nor does it excuse Santorum running as THE POPE!!!!!!!!

Oldefarte| 3.9.12 @ 10:00AM

What about Santorum's audience with the Pope at the Vatican [or his awards from same for being such a good Catholic and from not practicing birth control]....is that available for discussion also????????

Appreciate the links - if you can find video of the API speech, please post.

'....Opening up a new front against Santorum, the Romney campaign accused him of being a lobbyist in his home state of Pennsylvania even before he went to Washington in 1991.Romney's campaign also attacked Santorum for holding regular meetings with lobbyists as a U.S. Senate leader, part of the Republican "K Street Project" seeking to increase the party's influence in the capital."Senator Santorum's claims to be a Washington outsider are at odds with the facts. After serving as a lobbyist in Pennsylvania before running for Congress, Santorum became a go-to guy for D.C. lobbyists while he served in the Senate," Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in a statement headlined: "Lobbyist/Congressman/Senator Rick Santorum: The Insider's Insider."With an appeal to evangelicals and conservatives that Romney often lacks, Santorum is challenging the idea his rival is the inevitable Republican nominee to face Obama in November's election.....'

A lobbist is a middlleman who can talk to anyone in Washington. Who is the bad guy; the one who hires the lobbiest such as Bains Capital/ Romney or the one the lobbist talks to?

mjs_pa| 3.9.12 @ 10:51AM

video of speech here: http://electad.com/videos/rick.....ch-8-2012/

Bill| 3.9.12 @ 10:55AM

Santorum needs to explain why he voted AGAINST the "Right-to-Work" law.......................

Oldefarte| 3.9.12 @ 3:10PM

Amen, Bill!!!!!!!!

Evan| 3.9.12 @ 11:21AM

Alabama could well go to Romney. They like big govt.Sen.Shelby. They have Spencer Bachus,a Tarp baby. Bonner is a Rino. So is Mike Rogers and Roby. Only Sen.Sessions is a conservative,in my view.

Oldefarte| 3.9.12 @ 3:12PM

They're all superior to the Kennedys, Pilosis, Reids, Gores, Durbins, Schumers, Obamas, Franks etc of this country anyday, anytime, anywhere AH!!!!!!!!!

Oldefarte| 3.9.12 @ 11:23AM

'....A new official delegate count being kept by the Republican National Committee reveals that Newt Gingrich has won more "bound" delegates in the presidential primary than Rick Santorum.
Gingrich has won 107 delegates compared to Santorum's 95, according to the RNC's count, which was made after Super Tuesday. That effectively puts him in second place behind front-runner Mitt Romney.But the RNC does not count delegates from states like Iowa in its total, according to the Huffington Post, which first reported the story. The Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses did not officially allocate any of the state's 28 delegates to the national convention.....'
