Michelle Malkin: ‘Santorum for President’

In an article titled “Rick Santorum for President,” conservative authoress Michelle Malkin throws her support behind the former Pennsylvania senator.
Malkin argues that, of the remaining GOP candidates, Rick Santorum is the most conservative and she backs up her claim by citing his political record. However, lest she be written off as a shameless Santorum shill, she also points out that — like the other GOP candidates — he has his fair share of shortcomings.
Malkin begins by highlighting Santorum’s conservative credentials: his opposition to TARP, the fact that he didn’t “cave when Chicken Littles in Washington invoked a manufactured crisis in 2008,” that he is not among the GOP nominees (i.e. Romney and Gingrich) who supported the bailouts and he didn’t have to “obfuscate or rationalize his position then or now, like Rick Perry and Herman Cain did.”
Furthermore, Santorum “strongly opposed the auto bailout,” the Freddie and Fannie bailout, the “porkulus” bills, and he “clearly and forcefully” opposed individual health care mandates.
He also voted against cap and trade in 2003, voted “Yes” to drilling in ANWR, and, unlike some GOP candidates, he never “dabbled with eco-radicals like John Holdren, Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi,” as Malkin puts it.
“Santorum is strong on border security, national security, and defense. Mitt the Flip-Flopper and Open Borders-Pandering Newt have been far less trustworthy on immigration enforcement,” Malkin writes, “Santorum is an eloquent spokesperson for the culture of life. He has been savaged and ridiculed by leftist elites for upholding traditional family values — not just in word, but in deed.”
Another feather in his cap: unlike Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) and the former Speaker of the House, Santorum hasn’t used, in the words of Malkin, “contemptible Occupier rhetoric” to attack Mitt Romney’s business record at Bain Capital.
However, as mentioned in the above, Santorum also has some shortcomings.
“As I’ve said all along, every election cycle is a Pageant of the Imperfects,” Malkin writes.
Santorum “lost his Senate re-election bid in 2006, an abysmal year for conservatives“ and he was a ”go-along, get-along Big Government Republican in the Bush era,” according to Malkin.
“He supported No Child Left Behind, the prescription drug benefit entitlement, steel tariffs, and earmarks and outraged us movement conservatives by endorsing RINO Arlen Specter over stalwart conservative Pat Toomey,” Malkin continues.
“I have no illusions about Rick Santorum. I wish he were as rock-solid on core economic issues as Ron Paul,” she writes.
So, why isn’t she writing an article titled “Ron Paul for President”?
Because, according to Malkin, the Texas congressman is a “far-out, Alex Jones-panderer” on foreign policy, defense, and national security.
Malkin writes:
If Ron Paul talked more like his son, Rand Paul, about the need for common-sense profiling of jihadists at our State Department consular offices overseas and if he talked more about the need for strengthened visa screening and airport security scrutiny of international flight manifests, I might have more than a kernel of confidence that he would take post-9/11 precautions to guard against jihadi threats and protect us from our enemies foreign and domestic. But he doesn’t, so I can’t support Ron Paul.
What about Mitt Romney?
Mitt Romney has the backing of many solid conservatives whom I will always hold in high esteem — including Kansas Secretary of State and immigration enforcement stalwart Kris Kobach, former U.N. ambassacor John Bolton, and GOP Govs. Nikki Haley and Bob McDonnell. With such conservative advisers in his camp, Romney would be better than Obama. And a GOP Congress with a staunch Tea Party-backed contingent of fresh-blood leaders in the House and Senate will help keep any GOP president in line. Romney’s private-sector experience and achievements are the best things he’s got going. Only recently has he risen to defend himself effectively. But between his health care debacle, eco-nitwittery, and expedient and unconvincing political metamorphosis, Mitt Romney had way too much ideological baggage for me in 2008 to earn an endorsement — and it still hasn’t changed for me in 2012.
Should we even ask what she thinks of Newt Gingrich?
Then there’s Newt, who has long made a career out of trashing progressive Saul Alinsky while employing his tactics at every turn. I’ve been making this point for years and have chronicled his dalliances with leftists as long as anyone in the conservative blogosphere.
Many grass-roots conservatives were awakened to Newt’s double-talk and double-dealing during the NY-23 race. Inconvenient truth: Newt’s transgressions are not from decades ago. It’s not ancient history. It’s here and now. Readers of this blog know the truth: It’s not just “the GOP establishment” that’s repulsed by Gingrich’s combination of moral baggage and K Street/Beltway culture of corruption. It’s the very grass-roots that Gingrich’s cheerleaders purport to represent.
Lest we forget, this election is not about choosing a showboat candidate to run against John King or Juan Williams or Wolf Blitzer.
It’s not about “raging against” some arbitrarily defined GOP “machine.”
For many grass-roots conservatives across the country, Romney and Gingrich are the machine.
Therefore, given that two of the four remaining GOP candidates are, in her eyes, part of “the machine,” and that she finds Paul’s stances on foreign policy and national security inadequate, this leaves her with one option: the former senator from Pennsylvania.
“Rick Santorum represents the most conservative candidate still standing who can articulate both fiscal and social conservative values — and live them,” Malkin writes.

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 5:57pmYou can be a Conservative and get elected. That is the big lie that the media wants to tellyou. Same reason you can be a conservative and win in Pennsylvania. In Massachusetts, the economy was tanking, completely tanking and they had a scandalized Treasury sec. that was running for the Democrats and a scandal came up with here and the Treasury. Romney just came from the Utah Olympics and turned the whole thing around. People saw that and he fought for conservative values, including Cutting Taxes, Balancing the huge deficit, Auditing misuse of funds and cutting spending, term limits for their corrupt legislature and that is how he was elected. Plus he had some non-conservative views such as keeping the government out of the choice to regulate abortions, but Romney promised not to change them whether pro-life or pro-choice bills came across his desk. This helped in the pro-life movement because he vetoed five pro-choice bills and pushed for abstinence teaching in schools. Tell me that is not conservative.
THAT IS HOW A CONSERVATIVE CAN BE ELECTED IN MASSACHUSETTS, LOOK AT THEIR VIDEOS ON THEIR SITE, THEY EXPLAIN IT.

The things they explain makes me think of the media attacks on Palin that tried to smear her. Romney, with all this information they have, could truly be a Tea Party candidate. His Massachusetts record surely seems conservative, minus the abortion topic, but they explain it fairly well.

I grew up watching the news and following these politicians. I’ve watched them change over the years and I come to know them. Most have no compass or will to stand up for their constituents. They all will tell you stories to get your vote. But lately the climate has changed from most being individuals to group think.

There is a lot of Tea Party support around Mitt. I support Mitt or Santorum. I have no idea how a TP member could vote for a man who has been in Washington hos entire life and attacks capitalism, supported Obama care and the individual mandate for over 20 years, Newt has come out and said he would double the size of the state dept. has a lousy immigration policy and consistently fought Reagan principles. He has always claimed to be a progressive and recently claimed again FDR is the greatest president in US history. Newt is a big government progressive and every poll shows he will lose badly against Obama, even Paul does better against Obama. Do a little Homework.

PLENTY OF TEA PARTIERS SUPPORT ROMNEY, ESPECIALLY ONES THAT HAVE VETTED HIS CONSERVATIVE RECORD. HE IS MORE TPish THAN ANY OTHER CANDIDATE.

We are far too conservative for what the Republican Party has morphed into in the last many years.
Catch-22 -> Now all our choices are: 1: Progressive liberal Democrat (Romney), 2: Progressive liberal Republican (Gingrich), 3: Nut job (Paul), 4: A Conservative (Santorum).
My concern is that so many of us left the party that the only real conservative now won’t have a chance of getting the nomination. If we can get him to become the GOP canidate for the presidential election then he would land-slide against Obama. But we can‘t vote in the Primaries so we’re all screwed.

Unfortunately, and I am not sure of the reason but, the Senator has never been asked about his role in the page/ intern scandal although reports say he was a facilitator for the disgraced Foley. Second, he has never been asked about his association with the Penn State pedophile and the fund raising parties for this Sandusky charity. Third, and given his pro war stance, no one has held him to account on authoring legislation that rendered the Veterans Home in DC (a home for indigent Veterans) insolvent so that Catholic University could receive a windfall land deal.

What I’m saying is your Theory lacks any evidence of common since. It does not take into effect moral values, and his Passion for God and Country.
If you had said that Rick would be attacked worst than Palin by the Lib Media starting today – I would agree
If you said it it going to get very dificult for Rick from this point forward – I would agree, but not impossible.
But knowing what I know about Rick based on what he has done so far – I don’t see QUIT as part of his vocabulary – I think we are about to see the Victor not the Victim come out in Santorum.
Lead Not Follow – I pray that you are not a teacher of our youth – your logic stinks! It’s Game time – America’s Freedom is at stake, now get out of the way and let the leaders get around you.

Posted on March 25, 2012 at 2:19pmIf you are measuring “decent” you must include Gov. Romney in that list. Unlike Sen. Santorum he has not “fallen short” in his tithing. Many don‘t know of the orphanages and run away teen centers the Romney’s support and took active interests in either.That’s becaise he does not spend all day talking about himself. He is not running for President out of ego but out of concern for the country that his 16 grandkids will have to grow up and live in. BTW: He took $1 to turn around the Olympics and another $1 for each year as Gov. To sacrifice your personal life and your time to do a greater good is pretty decent in my book.

Posted on March 30, 2012 at 3:04pmChill out. Romney has pleasantly surprised me of late. Santorum has proven to be over his head. Paul is probably nuts, his son is going to run however, I like him. Newt has an ego the size of the moon. I know his fantasy is a ‘brokered convention with a “debate” which he will shine in…uh…he had that chance after SC and he blew it. I don’t mind that the Primaries have gone on, it‘s messed with PHLOUFE’S head (what ever Obama‘s sicko campaign manager’s name is) and driven Axelrod to drink. Talking heads that are totally obnoxious…like Sally Cohn and Ft. Edward Beck are being shown to be what they really are: Pompous, obnoxious, smug and very unlikeable people.

Healthcare is a privilege NOT a right. Newt wants to build a colony on the moon!! That should be cheap. Wants new entitlements for healthcare! We can’t afford it!

America seems like she cannot find solid footing anymore. On what does she stand? the people cry out for a leader and they do not even know what they are in need of. So they grasp on to whoever “looks and sounds presidential”. All the candidates look up to Ron Paul because they are all using his talking points that he has used since 2006. They realize that what Paul talks about strikes a cord in the people….so they copy him. But then turn around and smear him too. They are duplicitous liars and cowards who talk about God and country but are far from it. The GOP rank and file cannot even endorse the man who has the right plan that aligns with the constitution. IMO only Ron Paul can go up against Obama in a debate because he is the ONLY one who stands in stark contrast as a TRUE constitutional conservative.
Tomorrow we shall see if Floridians choose to do the same as the SC bible belt and vote for a progressive republican.

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 6:45pm“These guys try to sound like Ron Paul. Trouble is they have no record to back them up.”
Of the 620 bills sponsored by Ron Paul during his long career in the House of Representatives, only four have ever made it to a vote on the House floor and only one of those became an actual law. An analysis by The Washington Post shows that Paul’s success rate of 0.2 percent falls far below that of most legislators, as Paul has chosen to stand up for his personal crusades.
Paul, who has served 11 terms in three different stages dating back to 1976, didn’t get a single law passed until 2009, when he authored a bill that allowed for the sale of a customs house in Galveston, Texas.
Not much of a record of accomplishment if you ask me.

The measure of success to these big-government progressives is who passes the most legislation. I consider Pauls lack of new legislation as the highest degree of success. Of course the bills Paul sponsored would not pass because they were all designed to shrink the federal governments stranglehold. A good example of passing nothing and the government shrinking and prosperity resulting is the six years of Calvin Coolidges presidency.

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 9:19pm@Time2, I think it actually speaks volumes for RP’s electablity. Here you have an African American rapper supporting a 76-year-old Republican over Obama. It’s something to think about. Freedom is an appealing platform to many people these days. Also people know EXACTLY where RP stands, which is refreshing in today’s political arena, to say the least. I know where you stand on his foreign policy and I respect that, but I don’t think any of the other candidates have a chance in the General. I could be wrong.

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 5:13pmMichelle Malkin should run for president. She gets America. Any legitimate criticism can just be chalked up to racism and sexism, too. So, no one can criticize her without being a racist and a sexist ;)

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 5:57pmI used to feel this way about Palin too, until she backed Newt. He is a bigger progressive than Mitt. Santorum turns out to be a big government guy too. But he is still the best of the pack. Ron of course has some very good ideas, but his bad ideas totally disqualify him in my mind. Paulies, don’t bother with your talking points again, I have heard all of them.

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 5:11pmI am glad she wasn’t dragged into the Newt Disaster Team. She wanted a true conservative and Santorum is.
I still favor Romney over Santorum, because I have vetted his background and found most attacks on Romney to be false, the Tea Party is finding this out – http://www.TeaPartyForRomney.com. Also Romney is the most experienced to turn this economy around and fight for our social issues, repeal ObamaCare. We need someone that isn’t a big government candidate. People think Romney is one but if you watch the old debates by C-SPAN back in 1994 and 2002 you will see that even back then he was fighting for Conservative/Tea Party principles. Three main parts to his 2002 campaign: Tax Cuts (Economy), Death Penalty(Crime), and Fighting Gay Marriage(Social Issues), sadly it took him to have a bill on his desk to convert to completely pro-life, much like Reagan.

Report Post »TeaPartyForRomney
Posted on January 30, 2012 at 5:32pmIf Gingrich won Tea Party support than we automatically know it is a fake poll or the voters are misguided. Remember he was supporting the individual mandate while we were fighting ObamaCare in DC: http://www.thedailycandidate.com/video/2012/jan/newt_denies_mandate1.html
This is only because a smear campaign started with Ted Kennedy has been attacking Romney since 1994 and has continued ever since. Look at the link I gave and you will find out more about the misconceptions. Romney has always been pro-life but wanted the government out of the option (that is a libertarian view), then he was converted to get the government involved. He has always been against gay marriage, he fought Massachusetts for three years as governor. He even sued them with his own money to ban gay marriage. He was never against Reagan, watch the whole quote and not just the 6 second, “I don’t want to go back to Reagan/Bush. Romney is truly the Tea Party Candidate as they show on that site.

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 5:33pmYeah, what he said! I totally agree, the Tea Party is starting see things more clearly. They are not big on endorsing people, which I think keeps them honest and more effective in there message, however, they as individuals, will be voting, and I believe more and more of them will make the obvious and best choice for a nom. in Mitt.

Cant handle other opinions? Gingrich supporters are becoming crazier than Paul supporters. At least I can trust Paul in what he fights for but i cant believe anything Gingrich says because everything he claims to be can be debunked by quickly looking at his background. I wish Newt fans would do a little homework before going crazy when someone opposes his Progressive ideas. Santorum or Romney 2012
Report Post »pooka_yc
Posted on January 30, 2012 at 6:02pmSorry, I don’t trust Romney or Newt to repeal ObamaCare. Only Michele Bachman, Ron Paul, and Rick Santorum could be trusted to do that. Michele is gone and Ron Paul has a tin-foiled hat foreign policy, so that leaves Rick Santorum for me. I also think Santorum is a genuinely decent person. He spoke at a crisis pregnancy center fundraiser that I attended last fall and I was very impressed with him. He has the moral character we need in the White House. That’s only part of the equation though; we need to elect a lot more Tea Party people to the House and Senate to rid ourselves of ObamaCare and the fiscal insanity. The Tea Party people we currently have are badly outnumbered. TEA in 2012!

No Look at his health care proposal it has nothing about the individual mandate or government take over. It’s about tort reform, savings accounts, and giving the power back to the states to decide. He does not want RomneyCare for all, he has never said that and will never say that, but he does want to give the states the right to choose.
Look at Gingrich, he fought for the individual mandate while we were fighting ObamaCare in DC, in 2009. Newt is no Tea Party candidate.

Gingrich fought for a national individual mandate for over 20 years and supported ObamaCare, Does anyone look into Gingrich’s background? Besides Romneycare was at a state level ( i am not saying it is a good thing) and he has stated over and over a national healthcare entitlement would be a disaster and would repeal it his first day in office
