    Well, my vote goes to anyone but Obama. The liberals are famous for saying George W was the worst President in history but I think Obama takes the cake. That’s what America gets for electing a “community organizer”. Go for it Rick Santorum!!!!!

    I am very delighted with the prospects of having a good Christian man as our next president. Mr Santorum would always say we are indeed a Judeo-Christian Nation. Like Mr. Santorum, this Native American gives testimony that these are the two greatest religions and they deserve to rest atop the pinnacle of honor and importance in American society. Other religions can be tolerated and even praised when warranted but they will never occupy the highest seat of respect and love that followers of Christ or Judism give to their Faith. America needs a good man who gives honor to his Faith. President Santorum will bring coal back into the “ what makes America successful” equation. Our energy policy will finally get back into sync with reality. Coal will become the bedrock of our prosperity. Rick Santorum is not afraid to put America first in all categories and do what is necessary to keep Her there as Number one. Just think of the possibilities when coal, natural gas and oil are finally unleashed in the United States! I am excited about replacing a lousy wannabe leader preoccupied with corpulating males and images of dead fetuses with a good man like Rick Santorum who will always put America first and will depends on his personal Faith to make the right decisions to strenghten the nation to bring the freedoms we have enjoyed to the forefront of our daily lives so each of us can take personal responsibility to lead by example to lift up our neighbors. I like and trust Rick Santorum.

      It is because we are sick of the fakers. I’ve been lied to all my life. Republicans never gave me what I wanted, they lied just like the left too.I want some one who has a good record and doesn’t flip flop. And sorry to say haters.. but it’s Ron Paul. Santorum was for bail outs. Against right to work. Won’t get rid of the FED. I didn’t hear him talk about the EPA either. So Beck is saying I have to vote for Rick because he is religious? First off religions, race divides us Americans. I keep my religion to myself unless I was asked. Second, he is catholic. Catholics will ban every thing. Even kids can’t play video games. Leave us alone. Let us live. Keep the Government off my back! RON PAUL 2012

    In fact I‘m not sure any of the nominee’s will be able to win a debate with him which will determine who becomes the next president.

    The Republican party is being played like a fiddle. When Gingrich was surging in the polls they trot out Nancy Pelosi to threaten to reveal his secrets. She knows the right thinks of her as the wicked witch of the west, so what was her goal? If you want to ambush an opponent you don‘t tell him where you’ll be hiding. Clearly she was trying to get the Repubs to circle the wagons around Gingrich so he would get the nomination.

    Now with Santorum surging they contrive a war on religion knowing it will help the socially conservative candidate who has made such issues the center of his campaign.

    The only candidate they have attacked personally has been Mitt Romney. Do you really believe the OWS movement started because of people’s outrage over the Wall Street bailouts? If so, why did it take three years to get organized? The left‘s goal is to make this a class warfare campaign and their hope is to make Romney’s wealth an issue. If Republicans give in on this the left has won a huge victory – including a second term for Obama.

    Santorum is a career politician. He is a government insider. He is socially conservative, but not financially conservative. What are the biggest problems our country is facing? Huge deficit spending and high unemployment. How do you elect a candidate who has no experience in job creation, who has been part of the spending problem, and think you’re going to solve any problems?

    WAKE UP REPUBLICANS!

      You make some interesting comments. in viewing the video, I would be most concerned about the Tea Party statement and when it was made versus Santorum’s present understanding and position now concerning the Tea Party.

      What people don’t understand, is earmarks per se, are not the problem with our financial deficits. Could they be reformed? Absolutely, but they are a drop in the bucket to fixing our finances.

      The real problem is our entitlements. They are sinking the ship. Santorum acknowledges this. If the entitlements (spending) are not cut and drastically, the ship will absolutely sink.

      That is what is happening to Greece. What do you think is happening in California? It’s the entitlements, stupid.

      It’s not the 1%! We could tax them 100% and it would not get us out of the hole that we have created.

      Want to know the real kicker? Even if Obama is defeated in 2012, we will still have to pay the piper. Scary isn’t it? It’s also very true.

      We have been asleep at the switch for too long. Reckoning day is just around the corner, and we are not going to like it – not one bit.

      It will take divine intervention preceded by genuine repentance for the entire nation to even begin to alter the consequences for sin. The truth has not been and is not yet fully being told – not even close.

    Any rumors of Newt’s demise are greatly exaggerated.. We need a solid majority of conservatives to ride in and freeze the Obama agenda. It has to be a clear cut MANDATE. Only Newt has the specifics (in writing) of what that mandate will be. A mandate is the ultimate political Capital. Obama never had one. All obama ever had was a pack of lies to get elected. Newt unplugged! Give Newt his due and resurrect what Reagan taught us and Newt has honored in HIS OWN record. Newt is Soros/Obama(as if obama is relevant as anything but a puppet)’s worst nightmare.
    Newt has the grasp of the depth of the mission necessary to return America to greatness. That is an epic and monumental task without a take-down of the obama agenda, jihad on America and this engineered decline! Let’s all wake up and give a little credit to a guy who beat the entire Clinton/pelosi Government, irs/cia on 83 of 83 manipulation of false allegations.

    This is why they call us Paulbots. We are promoting Ron Paul because he has always stood my his oath of office. He defends and upholds the Constitution of the United States.

    Freedom is what we stand for until death.

      If you were educated on the issues, you would know that the collapse is inevitable. What matters is who is in office when it happens. I would rather it be Paul or Santorum. The only persons that it should not be is Obama, Gingrich and Romney. All three are progressives. Santorum is not perfect, but neither is Paul.

      Paul supports earmarks, which are killing this nation. Santorum did some too, but Santorum CHOOSE to support legislation to stop them because they were being abused. Paul thinks all spending should be done through earmarks. Plus Paul’s foreign policy is horrible. It would only be time before we are attacked again. It could be China, Iran, Russia, some terrorist cell. The list is endless. Turning our back on the world will leave us vulnerable. The UN hates us for a reason. They are under a progressive movement that was envision by the globalist movement.

      You can hide behind a constitution, but to our enemies, it is a piece of paper. It will not stop the hatred towards us for having wealth and freedom. Communism and envisioned by the progressives needs everyone (the whole world). All we will do is have the whole world ready to war with us, after they remove the dollar as the reserve currency and collapses.

      You Paulbots are the same. you think one man will change it all and make everything alright. Problem is, what happens when vetoes are overturned by a 2/3 majority? Who are you guys supporting for State level and Congress?

Money we don’t have. It is also how money is funneled to pet projects and campaign contributors. Santorum is not innocent of this, but he supports the abolishment of the gross abuse of the system by removing as a whole.

      Yeah, how exactly did he hijack the delegate process? Because his supporters stayed around and *le gasp* volunteered? Look, a lot of the primaries are non-binding, they are glorified straw polls. Their delegates are voted upon at a later time. This is why it is possible to win the election, but not the popular vote. Because delegates for a lot of cases are not bound to the popular vote. This is because we do not live in a democracy, as you wish, but rather in a republic.

    Becks’ support of Santorum is truly a disappointment. The most basic of research shows that Rick Santorum has always been the most Progressive of all the candidates running this year. He not especially honest either. In fact he is pretty much a charlatan.

    Beck‘s blind support reminds me of when Bush looked into Putin’s eyes… Basing your support of someone on that kind of impression, rather than looking deeply into the records (and it really didn’t take that deep a look) shows Santorum hardly to be the one to carry a libertarian message.

    After real exploration you start to wonder how this guy got away with calling himself a Conservative at all. He is a complete opportunistic fraud.

    Beck really blew it big time when he threw his weight behind Rick Santorum. And I have lost faith in his judgement on other issues as well. And where was the famous Beck research? Just a complete disappointment.

No man or woman is going to be flawless. Santorum makes sense to me when he talks about foreign policy and he speaks about small government. Are you allowing him any room for having grown over the years? Romney has changed his tune on certain topics. So Romney has evolved while Santorum is a fraud? I don’t think there could be a more corrupt administration than the one we have now. I will vote for the candidate opposing Obama.

      Hi Glenn,

      After years of listening & learning with you, I am perplexed.  Since when would George Washington have the same K Street problems or Ethic Violations that Santorum had… Do you think Our 1st President would have described himself as a Progressive Conservative… Which by all your rants seems a bit of an oxymoron. Would he have lied about homeschooling his kids & where is official residence was? I am a bit offended you would defame our 1st Presidents name & honor in such a manner.  THERE is no George Washington running in this election, just as their is & never will be a Reagan running.

      Trying to figure out why Glenn‘s Picture is on Rick Santorum’s official campaign site as an endorser?  This after years of listening to you preach about people doing their own homework. How do you answer for this after telling, all the rest of us you do not endorse?

      Romney had better beat Santorum or we are toast.

      If the “journalists” at The Blaze weren’t playing favorites, they would have “discovered” the corrupt “K Street Project” in which Rick Santorum was a main player. Then the Rickster could go back to his day job as an unregistered lobbyist (right along with Newt Gingrich, the other corrupt DC insider).

      But, hey, Ricky Boy hates abortion (and birth control pills) — the single most important issue facing this crumbling Republic! What does it matter if Santorum is corrupt to the core and will be unelectable after the media outs him for his corrupt influence peddling and shake-down artistry while in office?

      After all, the abortion issue trumps all other issues — and that‘s all Santorum’s got going for him.
