Santorum on Glenn Beck Program: Clears Up Positions on Contraception, Fiscal Conservatism

Santorum on Glenn Beck Program Explains Position on Contraception, Fiscal Conservatism, Military Spending

Republican presidential primary candidate Rick Santorum called in to Glenn Beck‘s radio program Monday to talk about Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, in addition to clearing up what he claims are misconceptions about his stance on certain issues.

The former Pennsylvania senator was first asked about his position on contraception, something that critics have accused the social conservative of being against.

“This is crazy,” said Santorum, in explaining that his opposition in the landmark Supreme Court Case Griswold v Connecticut, is not to the court’s decision to invalidate a Connecticut law prohibiting the use of contraceptives. Rather Santorum is opposed to judicial activism, and “the creation of new rights because the court says so.” In the Griswold case the Supreme Court decided that the contraceptives law violated “the right to privacy,” which later led to the decision in Roe v Wade which said that the same “right to privacy” invalidated state laws that banned most abortions.

Santorum went on to defend attacks that the former two-term Republican U.S. Senator for Pennsylvania is an “economic liberal.”

“This economic liberal has proposed five trillion dolars in spending cuts over five years, a balanced budget in five years,” Santorum said over the phone before going on to point to his emphasis on entitlement reform, rebuking those who have questioned his fiscal conservatism.

Santorum also criticized those who have accused him of stereotyping African-Americans based off a video where he became tongue-tied and sounded as if he made insensitive remarks, when in reality only stumbled over his words. 

“It’s an absolute absurdity,” said Santorum. ”It simply is not what I said, and certainly from my actions, nothing close to the record that I have.”

Santorum was quick to poke a little fun at his own campaign when Beck asked how his fundraising efforts were going.

After Santorum said his campaign raised more money in the three days following the Iowa caucuses than it had over the entire previous year, Beck joked “I think you were running your campaign off of candy wrappers.”

“That’s an insult to candy wrappers,” Santorum quickly responded.

Take a listen to the entire interview, where Santorum goes on to discuss his position on gun rights and takes a jab at Ron Paul’s record on Second Amendment protections:

      Santorum hasn‘t a snow ball’s chance in Genenna to get the nomination, thank goodness. Only RON PAUL will bring us back to a Constitutional Republic, sound Fiscal Policy, Smaller Government, Abolition of the Federal Reserve and IRS (YEAH!) and NO WARS without Declation by Congress. How could any AMERICAN not vote for Ron Paul/ I will tell you: they are Progressive, Welfare Socialists like Obama who always want something for nothing and FREEDOM BE DAMNED.

      Rick Santorum isn’t a social conservative either…

      Conservatives are last to use Government intervention, social issues included.

      Turning to Government on social issues is LIBERAL because it’s more Government. Santorum is for Government enforcing his social views. Obama is for Government enforcing his social views. Both are for GOVERNMENT enforcing social views. Both are LIBERAL (Progressive). 
      One is Communist and one is Fascist. Both are for Government.

      A “family values” guy doesn’t hide his buddies affair. Protecting his buddy which he slept around on his wife is not protecting family values. 

      Rick Santorum is full of bull and is not a conservative, fiscally, socially, or internationally. Rick Santorum is a big Government progressive.

      I like how his budget is a 5 year plan to eliminate 5 trillion dollars. That way, if he does become president and fails to eliminate ANYTHING and is facing the chopping block, he can easily say “I need to be elected a second term in order to complete the FIVE year plan!”

      Such a cop out. He could easily made it a 4 year, 4 trillion dollar cut or a 3 year, 3 trillion dollar cut….. but he picked 5 years knowing one term is 4 years long…. why would that be other than setting himself up so he can fail to produce those cuts or promise to complete them with a second term, at which point if he received a second term, he’s gotten all he needs from the American tax payers….

      Pathetic. Show me where you plan on making those cuts Santorum, because I don’t believe you. Betrayer.

      Instead of coming clean and answering his National Association for Gun Rights Presidential Survey . . .

      . . . Rick Santorum is attacking Ron Paul, who answered his survey 100% in favor of our Second Amendment rights and has a stellar pro-gun record in the House, unlike Mr. Santorum.

      Please call Rick Santorum and let him know that you expect him to apologize for his past votes in support of gun control and promise to never do it again by returning his National Association for Gun Rights Presidential Survey — at once.

      Make your call right now:

      Rick Santorum is anything but a conservative. Just consider his record, which includes:

      *** Padding his own wallet as a corporate lobbyist at the expense of taxpayers;

      *** Voting to RAISE the debt ceiling five times;

      *** Voting to DOUBLE the federal Department of Education;

      *** Voting with liberals like Ted Kennedy on multiple occasions in support of Big Labor’s radical agenda;

      *** Urging more federal involvement in housing with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac;

      *** Voting to create a brand new, unfunded entitlement, Medicare Part D, the largest expansion of entitlement spending since President Lyndon Johnson – creating $16 TRILLION in unfunded liabilities;

      *** Endorsing liberal Big Government RINOs like Arlen Specter over conservatives. Of course, Specter later became a Democrat and worked hand-in-glove with President Obama to pass his radical agenda;

      *** Voting for Sarbanes-Oxley, which imposed dramatic new job-killing accounting regulations on businesses;

      *** Supporting raising taxes on oil companies, which directly costs Americans more money out of their pockets at the gas pump;

      *** Voting for gun control;

      But unlike many of my other establishment opponents, Rick Santorum isn’t even trying to sweep his Big Government record under the rug.

      He’s proud of it!

      Rick Santorum said constitutional conservatives have a “crazy” idea that government should “keep our taxes down, and keep our regulations low.”

      Lets compare Santorum’s Career to Paul’s

      Santorum got a B.A. in political science from Pennsylvania State University, a
      M.B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh and a Law degree from the Dickinson School of Law then
      began practicing in Pittsburgh at the law firm Kirkpatrick & Lockhart, now known as K&L Gates. Representing the World Wrestling Federation while with K&L, Santorum argued that professional wrestling should be exempt from federal anabolic steroid regulations because it was not an actual sport, rather, entertainment.
      At age 32 elected to the House of Representatives U.S. Senate (1995-2007) after his defeat in the Senate he became a Lobbyist.

      Ron Paul, Doctor of Medicine getting his degree from Duke University’s School of Medicine, then doing his medical internship at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, after that he served as a flight surgeon in the United States Air Force and then in the United States Air National Guard. After his service he became a
      obstetrics and gynecology, and then began his own private practice delivering over 4000 babies. In between this he has served as a Congress for the Texas’s 14th congressional district.

      Santorum may not be a good fiscal conservative but he is a disaster in foreign policy. His own election web site used to have “ten” foreign policy points (scrubbed) six and seven are the worst.

      6: having supported popular sovereignty abroad, we have erred in failing to sufficiently support the conditions of liberty and the institutions necessary for a successful democracy. Too often we have acted as if liberty’s first order of business is a vote. Elections should be a consummation and not a commencement to democratic processes.
      7: expand our commitment to humanitarian aid, especially in Africa… I helped lead many of our efforts to address third-world debt and the global AIDS crisis

      Translation: more nation building minus free elections and print USDs to pay off Africa’s debt. This is scary policy opinion and where is GB on it? Swooning over RS’s tough stance on Iran.

      “Senator Santorum cosponsored the Workplace Religious Freedom Act with Democrat Senator John Kerry. The legislation would impose on business owners the requirement that they accommodate the religious practices of their employees. It is Santorum‘s belief that if companies don’t cater to their employees sundry faith observances then they should be compelled by law to change their business practices. Government is Santorum’s solution to social and business problems.”

      Glenn doesn’t ask the right questions:

      While in office, Santorum voted to spend taxpayer money to fight AIDS globally, to help underprivileged children in third world countries, to pay off debts owed to the US by other nations and to combat political instability in Sudan. He voted to increase welfare programs such as Healthy Start. Such social-welfare spending projects are not typically associated with the concept of Republican conservatism.

      In 2001, Santorum created a charitable foundation. This organization, Operation Good Neighbor Foundation, gave out nearly $474,000 to community groups in its first few years. Sounds great, right? The problem is that it had actually raised over a million dollars in that time. The remaining half million dollars was paid out to as salaries and consulting fees to lobbyists and fundraisers connected to Santorum’s campaign. Only 36% of the money raised by the foundation actually made it to those it was designed to help.

      Similar discrepancies can be found in a political action committee formed by Santorum. It was supposed to be raising money to help fellow Republican candidates. However, only 18% of the funds went to those candidates. Much of the remaining money was used to furnish Santorum with a lavish lifestyle. Reports also show dozens of trips to fast food joints, supermarkets, Starbucks and other everyday expenses that had little to nothing to do with the original intent of the funds raised.

      Among other legislative favors, Santorum was given six thousand dollars from Miller Brewing just half a year after Santorum introduced legislation to cut taxes on large brewing companies. He received three thousand dollars from US Tobacco Corp. the day after he voted against a tobacco regulation bill. The list of favors to his campaign contributors goes on and on. Taking money from corporations and then voting for legislation that favors them is called corruption.

      Freedom Lover,

      What about the NDAA? Paul Bashers? I guess you are going to say he voted against it? right? WRONG!!
      Ron Paul took an oath to execute his duties as a member of the House of Representatives, yet he failed to show up to vote against the NDAA, a bill he supposedly opposes. He didn’t bother to take a few hours out of his day to vote against something he considers dangerous to American rights and freedom. Instead, he decided to ignore his congressional responsibilities in order to remain on the campaign trail. You’d think a self-proclaimed libertarian would do his job when bills as important as the NDAA come up.
      See who voted for the bill, who voted against it, and who else besides Ron Paul didn’t vote on it at all

Why stop spreading the truth all around this nation rather than wasting time voting on a bill that was sure to pass? His time was much better spent spreading the truth.

      Here’s just one quote of many where Ron Paul tells the truth about the NDAA.

      http://thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/10379-ron-paul-calls-national-defense-authorization-act-qslip-into-tyrannyq

      “The founders wanted to set a high bar for the government to overcome in order to deprive an individual of life or liberty. To lower that bar is to endanger everyone. When the bar is low enough to include political enemies, our descent into totalitarianism is virtually assured. The Patriot Act, as bad as its violation against the Fourth Amendment was, was just one step down the slippery slope. The recently passed National Defense Authorization Act continues that slip into tyranny, and in fact, accelerates it significantly.”

      Progressives want to the destroy the constitution. Your statement is invalid, because it implies Paul wants to off the constitution.

      Santorum IS a Progressive. He wants Gov’t intervention in the personal life (anti-constitution). He thinks we should be more involved in tangling foreign affairs (anti-constitution). He voted to raise debt ceiling, not once, not twice, but FIVE times (not fiscally-conservative). Santorum has a collective outlook and lied on stage claiming he worked in the coal mines (progressive). Santorum is all about War with Iran, which leads us into the WWIII conflict (progressive). He rejects the Tea Party and Libertarianism. He’s for the Patriot Act. For NDAA. He is a Pro Big-Government Progressive Republican.

      Paul is a cherry picker when it comes to the continuation. Considering that Washington invaded Canada and Jefferson sent the navy after the Barbary Pirates (Islam), it is a bit rich to compare their foreign policy with Ron Paul’s, don’t you think? Madison wanted no part of the Articles of Confederation, or the pure “states’ rights” position, which is a misnomer considering states do not have rights. Ron Paul’s position, at best, would turn the states into separate warring “factions” (i.e. what Madison wanted to avoid)

      Ron Paul Letter to the GOP
      “I want to totally disassociate myself from the policies that have given us unprecedented deficits, massive monetary inflation, indiscriminate military spending, an irrational and unconstitutional foreign policy, zooming foreign aid, the exaltation of international banking, and the attack on our personal liberties and privacy,” he wrote in a letter offering advice to the Republican party: not a letter about the Obama administration — a letter about the Reagan administration. So Paul would have kept the Soviet Union intact. Such a smart guy. Paul isn’t a conservative so why do the Bots pretend? You are thrifty Liberals, not conservatives

      Nilap cannot back up his claim because it’s untrue. 

      On every issue Ron Paul is to the right of all the other candidates. Ron Paul is the most conservative and it can easily be proven.

                                                                                       Constitution

      A conservative always keeps their hands in their pocket in regards to Government because a conservative is last to opt for Government to intervene cause it costs money (taxes). Instead of pulling money out to pay for Government intervention conservatives opt for individual responsibility, less Government. Conservatives are the most generous outside Government (charity) due to these principles. 

      From the Constitution, each time a candidate wants Government to intervene, fiscally, socially, or internationally such candidate progresses LEFT and becomes less conservative because more Government is created. 

      Fiscal intervention is progressive
      Social intervention is progressive
      International intervention is progressive

      No one being honest can rightfully call Ron Paul a progressive. It is simply to easy to show as a lie.

      Yea…he is the only one who seems to get this.

      “Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans only as members of groups and never as individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike; as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called “diversity” actually perpetuate racism. Their intense focus on race is inherently racist, because it views individuals only as members of racial groups.

      Conservatives and libertarians should fight back and challenge the myth that collectivist liberals care more about racism. Modern liberalism, however, well-intentioned, is a byproduct of the same collectivist thinking that characterizes racism. The continued insistence on group thinking only inflames racial tensions.
      The true antidote to racism is liberty. Liberty means having a limited, constitutional government devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than group claims.

      This leads to a sense of individual responsibility and personal pride, making skin color irrelevant. Rather than looking to government to correct what is essentially a sin of the heart, we should understand that reducing racism requires a shift from group thinking to an emphasis on individualism.”

Wouldn’t the family values guy hold Ensign responsible and not protect him as Santorum said he was doing? Why would a “family values” who says it all begins with the family protect a guy who was screwing around on his wife for 8 months? 

    http://www.lvrj.com/news/santorum-admits-tipping-off-ensign-130549713.html

    Glenn didn’t ask Rick about his collectivism beliefs. Rick Santorum does not believe in personal Liberty. He believes we are collective. 

    Glenn also didn‘t ask what was the difference in Rick’s lobbying verses Newt’s lobbying…There is no difference either….

    Glenn also didn’t ask how selling munitions, defending and sending foreign aid to Arab Muslim tyrants is standing for Israel. 

    Any conservative wanting Government for a solution to a problem is not a conservative. I will not vote for Rick Santorum. Santorum is simply more of the same. Santorum is Bush III, another Huckabee all who Glenn called and showed as Progressive. 

    Glenn’s own words on radio speaking of conservatives show Rick is not one. Glenn is right about one thing he has said several times, Glenn sucks at politics.

Glenn is also forgetting that Congress has the power to declare wars, not the President, so a Ron Paul presidency as far as the foreign policy goes is not as dangerous as he plays it up to be.

      But, Glenn probably is forgetting that politicians will do almost anything to be elected, and Santorum is doing just this. He‘s saying everything to keep Glenn’s support because he knows the power of talk radio. The result is that Glenn is losing credibility with his audience, and he’ll continue to have some die-hard supporters but just like Obama, the support becomes less and less over time.

There’s only one candidate standing before us today that has the historical record, the endurance and unwavering courage as a genuine leader of the free world. Rick Santorum is that candidate – a man who loves the United States of America and will serve “We the People” of this nation well.
    As a father of seven, husband of 21 years and a leader who believes in one nation under God – his Faith, Family and Freedom campaign gives rise to the American spirit that solidified this nation 235 years ago.
    President Richard J. Santorum, 45th President of the United States – Amen!

      You want junior high kids with assault rifles? You want to allow pawn shops to remain a clearinghouse for laundering stolen weapons? I’m all for the 2nd Amendment, and zealots like you are a greater danger to it than progressives are. The NRA is to the 2nd what the ACLU is to the first.

      Hmm…Judging from that last sentence, it seems that you favor gun control more than you favor the Second Amendment. Where in the Constitution does it say that the government has authorization to bar junior high kids from using a firearm of any sort and/or mandating pawn shops to perform background checks on people that want to buy and/or sell firearms?

      Perhaps it would do you some good to take a few history lessons.

      ‘The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.’ The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the milita, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right.”
      Nunn vs. State

While someone is showing you something with the right hand (like teaching original intent, Biblical positions, etc……like you are), we need to pay attention to what’s happening with the left hand. You expose yourself to being no better than the MSM by hucking up with Santorum, a certain progressive.

      So explain how claiming you will vote ONLY for your candidate is NOT anti-American. Explain how saying you as a presidential candidate could not vote for any of the OTHER candidates is NOT anti-American. Explain how justifying Islamist attacks on America is NOT egregiously anti-American. Explain how recruiting members of the Dim Party to sign up and vote for your candidate in the caucuses is NOT anti-American. Explain how playing the race card and instigating class warfare like Ron Paul did in the NH debate is not only anti-American, but the same tactic the despicable Commie-in-Chief employs routinely to destroy America.

      That‘s just a few insights into the man’s character and that of most of his followers. Would you still vote for that neo-liberal?

      Voting is a right and if one decides to vote for one person they are being American by acting on that right. Being American does no include having to vote for one party or the other party. American is to be free to decide yourself, not as a COLLECTIVE. 

      It is American for candidates not to endorse fellow candidates with different platforms. It is Anti-American to do as told and endorse someone a candidate doesn’t like as you suggest. 

      Understanding why Islamists attack us is not Anti-American. Irresponsible people like you who believe they never do anything wrong are anti-American. American‘s accept their failures and don’t hide from the fact we aren’t perfect. Anti-American would be to say it‘s always everyone else’s fault. 

      Democrats and Independents vote every cycle in the Republican caucuses. Was George Bush or Reagan anti-American for the same? 

       
      NEO-Liberal? I can show you on every policy Ron Paul is the conservative and all the rest are to the LEFT of him. Care to disprove it or you gonna run away again because you are exposed as a progressive once again. 

      You sure harbor a lot of hate Kryptonite. Do you ever post in favor of anyone? I only see hate filled posts…..Hate will destroy you….
