Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum ripped Mitt Romney in cross examination-like attack over felon voting rights during Monday night’s GOP debate.

The firestorm erupted in South Carolina after the former Pennsylvania senator criticized an ad put out by a super PAC supporting Mitt Romney.

The ad slams Santorum, who is in favor of restoring voting rights to felons who have served their sentences. But the spot incorrectly implied that he wants criminals currently behind bars to be able to cast ballots, too.

Santorum flatly asked the former Massachusetts governor if he believes convicted criminals who have "exhausted their time" should have their voting rights restored.

In response, Romney went on a tangent, arguing he can't control what super PACs on the campaign trail do. Santorum quickly cut him off, saying he was looking for an "answer to the question first."

WHAT IS A SUPER PAC?

"We have plenty of time," Romney shot back, somewhat awkwardly. "I'll get there. I'll do it in the order I want to."

But Santorum didn’t stop.

"This is Martin Luther King Day,” he said. “This is a huge deal in the African-American community, because we have very high rates of incarceration, disproportionately high rates, particularly with drug crimes, in the African-American community.

"The bill I voted on was the Martin Luther King Voting Rights bill,” he said. “And this was a provision that said, particularly targeted African-Americans. And I voted to allow — to allow them to have their voting rights back once they completed their sentence. Do you agree with that?"

Romney finally relented, arguing, "I don't think people who have committed violent crimes should be allowed to vote."

Santorum instantly pointed out that when Romney was governor, felons could vote while they were on probation. "Why didn't you try to change that when you were governor of Massachusetts?"

Romney — who is favored in Palmetto State polls — argued he had a majority-Democratic legislature before Santorum hammered him again.

"What the governor said is he didn't propose anything to change that law, and what he's saying is that the ad that says that I ... voted to allow felons to vote is inaccurate. And it is inaccurate," Santorum raged. "And if I had something — the super PAC that was supporting me — that was inaccurate, I would go out and say, 'stop it.'"

SANTORUM'S SATAN WARNING
Tue Feb 21 2012 09:27:20 ET


"Satan has his sights on the United States of America!"
Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum has declared.

"Satan is attacking the great institutions of America, using
those great vices of pride, vanity, and sensuality as the root
to attack all of the strong plants that has so deeply rooted
in the American tradition."

The former senator from Pennsylvania warned in 2008 how
politics and government are falling to Satan.

"This is a spiritual war. And the Father of Lies has his sights
on what you would think the Father of Lies would have his
sights on: a good, decent, powerful, influential country - the
United States of America. If you were Satan, who would you
attack in this day and age?"

"He attacks all of us and he attacks all of our institutions."

Santorum made the provocative comments to students at
Ave Maria University in Florida.

The White House contender described how Satan is even
taking hold of some religions.

"We look at the shape of mainline Protestantism in this country
and it is in shambles, it is gone from the world of Christianity
as I see it."

Santorum’s Racist Welfare Rant: ‘I Don’t Want To Make Black People’s Lives Better’ With Taxpayer Money


GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum has been trying to pull off an upset in the Iowa caucus, but he’s drawing criticism ahead of tonight’s contest for racially charged remarks he recently made about welfare recipients:
At a campaign stop in Sioux City, Iowa on Sunday, Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum singled out blacks as being recipients of assistance through federal benefit programs, telling a mostly-white audience he doesn’t want to “make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money.” [...]

It is unclear why Santorum pinpointed blacks specifically as recipients of federal aid. The original questioner asked “how do we get off this crazy train? We’ve got so much foreign influence in this country now,” adding “where do we go from here?”
​
Watch it:




<CENTER><IFRAME height=260 src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/S4P01JKiof8" frameBorder=0 width=420 allowfullscreen></IFRAME></CENTER><CENTER></CENTER>
It’s hard to say which part of the story is stranger — that Santorum spontaneously derided poor black people in response to a question about foreign money or his explanation of why he did it.

When asked about the comments in a CBS interview, Santorum bizarrely referenced a documentary about the education achievement gap, Waiting for Superman, to explain the context. “Yesterday I talked for example about a movie called, um, what was it? ‘Waiting for Superman,’ which was about black children and so I don’t know whether it was in response and I was talking about that,” he said. The movie actually portrays students of several races.

There had originally been some confusion about whether Santorum actually said the word “black,” which he appeared to clear up in the CBS interview by acknowledging that was in fact the statement he made. (The candidate seemed to think better of his words mid-sentence, so the line comes across garbled.)

CBS points out that only nine percent of Iowans on food stamps are black — and 84 percent are white. Nationally, 39 percent of welfare recipients are white, 37 percent are black, and 17 percent are Hispanic. So Santorum’s decision to single out black welfare recipients plays right into insulting — and inaccurate — stereotypes of the kind of people some voters might expect to want a “handout.”

Attacking families who receive government aid has been a theme among many of the Republican candidates. In nearly every speech, Newt Gingrich accuses President Obama of being a “food stamp president” and even said “really poor children” have bad work habits and no knowledge of how to make an income “unless it’s illegal.” (HT: Raw Story)

Yes, we will finally have someone to answer for the Bush economic debacle. in front of a national audience, not a base pandering primary debate. He was in congress during the entire scene and supported him at every vote. No more excuses about Bush wasn't a conservative. Time to have a national public debate about if America is more conservative or not. My guess, President Obama will mop the floor with him.

Rick Santorum to Puerto Rico: If you want to become a state, you need to speak English


Santorum's comments come just ahead of Puerto Rico's Republican presidential primary on Sunday


image.jpg


Rick Santorum isn't about to allow some Spanish-speaking territory to become America's 51st state.

The Republican presidential candidate — fresh off two primary wins in Mississippi and Alabama — insists that Puerto Rico should only gain statehood if it makes English its main language.

"As in any other state, you have to comply with this and any federal law. And that is that English has to be the main language," Santorum told San Juan newspaper El Vocero on Wednesday.

"There are other states with more than one language as is the case in Hawaii, but to be a state in the United States, English has to be the main language," he added.

Currently, there is no federal law designating English as the country's official language. But there are some states, including Florida, that have declared English the official language.

The territory considers both English and Spanish its official languages, but most of its citizens primarily conduct business in Spanish.

Santorum's comments come just ahead of Puerto Rico's Republican presidential primary on Sunday. The former Pennsylvania senator and strict social conservative has been stumping in the U.S. commonwealth, where 23 delegates are up for grabs.

On Wednesday he held several town hall events and met with Gov. Luis Fortuno, who has thrown his support behind rival Mitt Romney.

The former Massachusetts governor leads in delegates. Santorum is looking to stop him from getting the 1,144 he needs to sew up the GOP nomination.

But critics say Santorum’s latest remarks could alienate Hispanics, including Puerto Ricans who live on the U.S. mainland.

Santorum's opponents have spoken in favor of Puerto Ricans deciding themselves if they want to remain a commonwealth or become a state.

Its residents will hold a referendum Nov. 6 whether they want to become a state, although Congress would have to give the final thumbs up.

Puerto Rico has held several votes on becoming a state, but none have ever succeeded.

Santorum meanwhile has expressed reservations, telling reporters that a simple majority in the fall referendum wouldn't necessarily convince him that its residents want to become the 51st state.

There are 4 million people living in Puerto Rico. While those living there can vote in partisan primaries, they can't vote in the general election.

Romney will stump in Puerto Rico beginning on Friday.

He's smart in a dumb way.

Republicans don't win PR anyway but it sounds good to the conservatives he's courting in the US.

<SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Rick Santorum is declaring a war… on porn.</span>

[pornography is] "toxic to marriages and relationships"

"America is suffering a pandemic of harm from pornography," "It contributes to misogyny and violence against women. It is a contributing factor to prostitution and sex trafficking."

Santorum points to a "wealth of research" showing pornography causes "profound brain changes in both children and adults," and rips President Obama for not doing enough.

"The Obama administration has turned a blind eye to those who wish to preserve our culture from the scourge of pornography and has refused to enforce obscenity laws," he writes. "While the Obama Department of Justice seems to favor pornographers over children and families, that will change under a Santorum administration.

When Rivals Concede, but Are in No Rush to Endorse


The New York Times
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR
April 29, 2012


Mitt Romney has vanquished virtually all of his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination. Only Representative Ron Paul of Texas remains in the race; the rest, even Newt Gingrich, have bowed to the reality that Mr. Romney will be the nominee.

But there is one thing that several of them have stubbornly not done, even in the face of a Republican establishment that is growing impatient with them: endorse Mr. Romney.

Four considerations:

CONSTITUENCIES All three of the onetime Republican front-runners have large groups of fans who do not want to see them cave to Mr. Romney. Moving too quickly to back the party’s nominee could seem like a slap in the face to those who worked hardest for them during the primaries.

Mrs. Bachmann is in a re-election campaign for her House seat in Minnesota, which makes it even more important that she not seem like a turncoat to the base of conservative activists who have supported her for years. In an interview with CNN on Thursday, she made it clear that Mr. Romney would have to wait a little longer.

“As the line says in ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ ‘All in good time, my pretty,’ ” Mrs. Bachmann said. “It will happen.”

FUND-RAISING Running for president is a costly affair, and each of the candidates needs to keep raising money to help pay off campaign debts. Doing so may get a bit harder once they have thrown in the towel and endorsed the party’s candidate.


Mr. Gingrich, in particular, faces a tough financial situation. His campaign reported more than $4 million in debts at the end of the last month. Once he endorses Mr. Romney publicly, his potential donors may wonder why they should give money to him instead of Mr. Romney.

Mr. Gingrich has said he will officially drop out of the race this week. (Fox News reported over the weekend that it will be on Wednesday.) And his aides have hinted that he will endorse Mr. Romney at the time. But if he holds back at all, money could be the reason.

PRIDE Of all the reasons for not endorsing Mr. Romney, the strongest may be the simplest. After months of criticizing Mr. Romney as the weakest possible Republican nominee, the defeated candidates are perhaps just struggling to get out the warm words.

That is surely the case with Mr. Santorum, whose bitter fight with Mr. Romney in the waning weeks of the primary season seemed to leave him with a particularly bad taste in his mouth.

Asked by Piers Morgan of CNN last week whether he was endorsing Mr. Romney, Mr. Santorum danced around the question.

“You can call it whatever you want,” Mr. Santorum said, adding a minute later that Mr. Romney “is going to be the Republican nominee.”

“I’m going to be for the Republican nominee,” he said. “We’re going to do what we can to beat Barack Obama.”

LEVERAGE For all of the onetime candidates, an endorsement ends whatever leverage they might hope to have at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., in August. All three would like to have featured speaking slots and influence over the party’s platform.​


Aides to all three have denied that they are seeking any kind of deal with Mr. Romney’s camp for convention influence. But all have said publicly that they hope to have an impact on the direction of the party — a conservative impact, they say — even without being the nominee.

The reluctance to offer a full-blown endorsement suggests that the candidates are looking for ways to exert that influence before they fade into the background of the coming fight between Mr. Romney and Mr. Obama
