Santorum on Romney vs Obama: ‘Stay With What We Have Instead of Taking a Risk’

Rick Santorum may think the devil is trying to take over America, but based on comments he made today, he may be of the opinion that it‘s better to go with the devil you know than the devil you don’t. Speaking on the stump in San Antonio, Texas, Santorum said the following:

You win by giving people a choice. You win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country, not someone who’s just going to be a little different than the person in there.  If you’re going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk with what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate of the future.

This is the first time Santorum has out and out suggested that Obama is preferable to Romney. But whether that accusation will do more to hurt Romney or Santorum is an open question. Even Rep. Ron Paul, who has been the most openly critical of established GOP orthodoxy, has not suggested Obama is a superior alternative to his competition.

      rick santorum is a charlatan. the following is a quote from 2008 which indicates that he believes in big government-

      “Republicans, I think to our credit have sort of morphed away from the Goldwater idea that the really government just needs to be smaller, it needs to do less, it needs to be doing nothing except at what its core functions are, to a party by and large that says look, we need to restructure the way the government functions to actually create the kind of incentives or create the kind of help and programs that give that authority.. I mean power to solve these problems to folks closer to people or to the family or to the individual themselves.”

      For better or worse, this country has always had a progressive tax code. And in 28 years of the presidency, neither Nixon, Ford, Reagan or the Bushes did anything to change that fact. Did I mention Reagan?

      Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama if you think just by finding a candidate to defeat Obama then we are severely cooked.

      Who supported Obama in everything he has done? Democrats.

      Who voted for every bill and policy that Obama concocted? Democrats.

      Who needs thrown out of office even down to dog catcher if they are Democrats? Democrats.

      So just by selecting your severely etch sketch nominee will not make a hill of difference.

      The most corrupt and evil bunch of assembled dirt bags all need to go. Democrats.

      I don’t like any of them (though I’ll take any of them over what we currently have – if for no other reason than the Supreme Court nominees). However, aside from DR’s labor & soybomb, the majority are missing the point.

      It is this: that the majority of the general electorate – asleep or mesmerized due to the complicit media – is NOT going to vote for a candidate that is Obama light. & the opposition knows that & is counting on it. Romney will be eaten alive by the media & unholy-wood both for his religious beliefs & his “hypocrisy” — instituting Socialized healthcare before being against it, for abortion (but now against it?), for bailouts (still), etc., etc… He cannot disassociate himself from his record (nor should he be allowed to).

      Santorum is simply saying to the rebublican party — if you don’t put up a candidate that is in distinct contrast from the current administration, the general public is going to stick w/ what they have & the corrupt media & political class will encourage it all the way. Unfortunately most of the “right” hasn’t figured that one out yet — so they march merrily to the slaughter w/ McCain part II. God help us.

      First, obviously he misspoke. However, there’s something to what Santorum says. I have to admit that I felt sickened when I heard Ann Coulter support Romney by saying (and this is pretty near verbatim) “so what if he is wishy washy and can be manipulated! We want someone we can manipulate!”

      I waited for the outrage at that comment and got crickets. Meanwhile I’m screaming inside knowing that once elected, we won’t ever be sure exactly who is manipulating Romney when. At least with the POS we have in office now, we know who is feeding the teleprompter.

      First, Santorum is an idiot, second, those that think hiring a business man to run the country will get us out of this mess are not thinking clearly. I will explain why.

      Let us say I am well off financially and I want to build a gym in my home. A gym like we all had in High School. Do you think I should hire an ex Gym teacher to build it?

      The man may know business but that doesnt mean he knows anything about how government runs. I can already hear many of you stating that we shouldnt elect a government insider. Guess what I agree with you. Now your scratching your head. What could I mean? Dont hire an outsider but dont hire an insider. Huh? Doesnt seem possible that there is anyone left right? Not quite. There is one and only one candidate that knows how government works and everyone in government HATES. No not Ron Paul. Nobody hates Ron Paul. Those in government dont actually take him as a real threat. Those in government have never tried to stain his reputation. There is one candidate that everyone in government and business hates, a man that those in government effectively painted as corrupt even though he was found innocent of all charges. The problem? Nobody cares enough about this country and it’s future to do the real digging and learn the truth BEFORE voting. They listen to their neighbors, their co workers, the news but they never take the time to LEARN THE TRUTH about a candidate before voting. You want to know what is killing this country?

Those of us that are smart enough understand that the President that we have must be voted out of office. 4 million people vote for the President that is in office. Hey thats great ! That leaves 7 million people voting against him. Ah but 3.5 million vote the Constitution Party and 3.5 million vote Republican.

      Santorum’s comments that Obama is better than Romney shows to what lengths he will go to get the republican nomination. We all know that Romney is a 1,000 times better than Obama (any republican candidate is 1,000 times better). I am totally shocked at how low Santorum has gotten with his comments in an effort to win a few votes. Santorum is acting like a spoiled kid on the play ground who is getting beat in basketball so he throws the ball on top of the school roof so no one can play. Romney has always said he will stand behind whoever is the Republican candidate even if he does not like that person.
      Way to go Santorum! Way to divide the party further! With these kind of efforts, I am starting to believe that you do like Obama better than everybody not just Romney.

      Soybomb315…Romney is nothing like Obama. All these people who think Romney is Obamalite are just listening to the “anybody but Romney” repubs and the msm. You people are not doing your research! And if you think Rick Santorum is a fiscal conservative (yes, he is a social conservative) because he says so, then you are clueless. Please read the following article detailing how Mitt Romney took Massachusetts from a $3 billion deficit to a $2 billion surplus in just 4 years:

      http://conservativesamizdat.blogspot.com/2011/09/part-v-how-mitt-romney-turned-3-billion.html

      You people need to stop believing everything you read and hear from the main stream media, who are promoting the notion that “Romney can’t relate to people“ or ”he can’t tie up the nomination” (btw, Obama didn’t tie it up until June, and its only March). They (msm and dems) are doing everything they can to keep Romney from being the nominee. They know he gives them their biggest challenge in this election. They want Santorum or Gingrich. Why else robocall dems to vote for Santorum in Michigan! The fact that Chuck Todd on NBC said a contested convention for Republicans would be a good thing for them says it all! If there is a contested convention, we will lose and Obama will be in for 4 more years. And if that happens, we will not recognize our country by 2016.

      Romney, speaking at a University of New Hampshire town hall June 3, 2011:
      “I don’t speak for the scientific community, of course,but I believe the world’s getting warmer. I can’t prove that, but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer. And number two, I believe that humans contribute to that.
      “I don’t know how much our contribution is to that because I know there have been periods of greater heat and warmth in the past but I believe that we contributed to that. And so I think it‘s important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may well be significant contributors to the climate change and the global warming that you’re seeing.”

      Overall, Romney’s biggest financial supporters favor increasing taxes, capping greenhouse gasses, and legalizing gay marriage, and were also supporters of Hillary Clinton for President.

      Only when Mitt get’s the nod will I even vote for the guy (since BO’s gotta go); until then I’ll back who ever I feel like and my home state (which includes me) already voted for Rick. We see a spineless politician unlike you northern/western states that get persuaded by obvious finger in the wind politicians like Romney. As for what Rick said about Romney, Romney said exactly the same thing about Rick when he called him a fiscal lightweight and no different then BO. But of course, you Romney-ites selectively forget that. All of this, of course, is political squaller and all of them do this; it’s a part of campaigning. Still, I agree with Rick. Mitt is an etch-a-sketch candidate; shake him up and he erases any stance he earlier took for a new stance that may allow him to win. lol
       
      Regardless, in the end, whoever (other then Gingrich) wins the nod will I pull the lever for. I do, however, know more then a few people who will not vote for Romney period (including the general) just because of his religious beliefs. I try to tell them would you rather have BO or Mitt; they just won’t vote. Sad. Can’t judge them though since Gingrich is that person for me (NAFTA/GATT destroyed our way of life and you can’t convince me otherwise; Gingrich, of course, created this monster and that is the unforgiveable sin to me. When asked about NAFTA, Gingrich said, well it was good for the Mexicans. Can you see the steam comin out of my head right now?). :)

      rick santorum is a charlatan. he is guilty of the same spending largess that led to the housing bubble and the financial crisis of 2008-2009. santorum supported affordable housing schemes, making no secret of his support for them-

      “I am pleased that the Senate made this commitment to promote home ownership and affordable housing opportunities,” he said in 2000 after the Senate passed a bill he had co-sponsored, the American Homeownership and Economic Opportunity Act. “This bill will enable countless Americans to fulfill their dream of owning a home, while providing for the housing needs of seniors and disabled Americans.”

      he “helped the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh secure millions in federal monies, describing one such earmark as “instrumental in creating affordable housing conditions in Philadelphia.” When challenged on not doing enough to help the poor by religious liberals, his office replied in 2006 that he had worked to secure $17 million in loan guarantees for affordable housing projects in Philadelphia. The National Mortgage News noticed his involvement, reporting that “Sen. Santorum supports the concept of an [affordable housing] fund that could pump billions into the construction and renovation of affordable housing.” His Republican Senate colleague, Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina, thanked Santorum “for taking a leadership role in addressing the need for a better focus by Fannie and Freddie on affordable housing.”

      Actually, while not quite a small government candidate, Santorum is certainly the least big government of the bunch we have. And if you doubt me look at every ranking mechanism we have for tracking our legislators in relation to voting right on conservative issues and Santorum tops pretty much every candidate we have. Paul may look better, but that’s because he has this lovely habit of supporting earmarks until they are sure to win, then voting against them. What a phoney! No principle what so ever.

      Nothing like castigating a whole group of people with your thinly veiled bigotry but, I could care less what you think of us. There‘s plenty of evangelicals that aren’t Santorum supporters. That thing you can’t stand is that you KNOW that no GOP candidate can win without us. But what you Romney – ites need to realize is that by trashing your opponents ( and violating Reagan’s 11th commandment )you’re ticking off their supporters who you are going to need to vote for you. If Romney is taking for granted that they will, he will lose. Eventually, he has to give people a reason to vote for him other than “I’m not Obama”. People who voted Obama last time and don’t like him, may just sit home. He has to give them a reason to leave their house and vote. And give us crazy evangelicals comfort that he won’t appoint sodomite-marrying baby killers to the SCOTUS.

      It is unfortunate that most people do not have true convictions, hence they can only support a candidate that shares there moderate views. Most people are still on the fence and are not ready and willing to make the changes in their own lives to make a difference in changing the direction of our nation. Even if Romney wins, it seems like it will still be more of the same. The Truth is loud and clear, but most are deaf, because their hearts are hardened. The people can only elect a president that reflects their values…Wake up people…open your hearts and minds, and don’t be afraid of the Truth!

I personally haven’t heard any candidate talking about our 60 years of political mis-management and lackof respect for “Old Glory”. Its going to take a President who does not have a personal agenda but one that talks about our lack of jobs, one that realizes our nation is about broke and one that puts their nation’s well being ahead of their personal ego.

He does mean that, he is NOT a team player, he is a liar in every sense of the word. He denounces Romney at every chance he gets, yet says Romney is the liar. None of them are telling “whole truths.” That just isn’t politics, but Santorum is exceedingly guilty of lies throughout his campaigning. He is also a bigot — not because he has come out and called Mormons un-Christian or a cult, but because he doesn’t tell some of the far-left Evangelicals to stop saying those kind of lies! To me, that makes Ricky as guilty as some of his reverends and pastors who have endorsed him. This is 2012 and we don’t need bigotry in America!!!

      Glenn is not going to spin this. He will admit this was one step too far. I’m sure this is something that Santorum will walk back. It was something he said in the heat of a contest and he’s flailing. Freedomworks is ok with Romney, DeMint is ok with Romney, Bolton endorsed Romney, the Senate races are looking real good for conservatives so the House races must be going well. The way a conservative has to look at it, is that Romney worked well with a strongly liberal legislature in MA., so hopefully he will work well as President with a strongly conservative legislature who will set the policy. Not a ringing endorsement, but a preference over Obama, and Demint‘s and Bolton’s assurances makes me hopeful. I ask that people not be too harsh on Santorum. He’s a good and decent man of principle, but when he needed to rise to the occasion, he fell short. He was incapable of wearing his social values lightly, and sticking to the important issues. Culture wars are not won in political campaigns or by politicians, but must be fought by the people from the ground up. He was incapable of distinguishing what a President does, which for us is to execute policies based on the principle of limited government, from what a CEO does, which is to use his resources to make a profit. Santorum should be proud of his effort of running an honorable campaign, and we should overlook his mistakes. .

    Santorum will stand on the Truth. He is not a crowd pleaser, but a man with strong convictions. If you believe otherwise that is why we have voting booths. This man is standing when others are hiding behind crowds and trying to please the “gimmes,” the ones who want to be seen, and those who are getting their jollies from attempting to destroy this great country. There are people out there not working who could work, and people wanting to work who are unable to work because of their politics and other reasons. The ones who are not working intentionally are the ones Obama is using to attempt to destroy the infrastructure of this nation by attempting to cause people to lose hope when seeing these crowds. Some of us, it is just making angrier at what is going on in this country. It is obvious, people are being used in ways they are not even aware. These feel important, when many of them will not even support their own families or change a baby’s diaper.

No thanks. No more Beltway Buffoons who have sucked at the Government teat for their entire career! They are nothing but Parasites, feeding off the Taxpayer.

      Mitt Romney will only accept $1.00 per year as his salary for the position of President of this great country. He did the same thing in Massachusetts and turned his salary back into the General Fund to help reduce the debt.

      Romney is a true patriot who loves his Wife of 43 years, his Family, his Country and his Church, even though you won‘t hear much about his religion because he doesn’t wear it Tattood across his Forehead. I had to dig to find that he has been a Sunday School Teacher for 25 years. And his detractor‘s say he can’t “connect” to the common family! Pfft. Hog wash!

I’m guessing he will walk that back a step or two in the coming days.

You all need to stop thinking it‘s the D’s alone that are taking away your rights/sovereignty. Y’all better start doing your homework. Remember RP got the tea party rolling when Bush was still in office, and now tea party people think Romney is the answer when, in a debate, he said he supported the all those laws your incorrectly placing the blame on the D’s for. He won’t fix the economy either. The federal government can’t fix it. It can only make the conditions right for us to fix it ourselves, which is over taxing to create a large federal government, and the federal reserve printing money out of thin air and ripping us off. Us Paulbots may be annoying, but listen to us anyway. Look into our claims before you vote.

      Apparently thes “social issues” are important as Obama is using them to turn this country into a Socialist State. Obama is using any and all means to undermine the laws and social norms of this country to keep the people in a state of unrest and confusion. We need a man to stand strong on issues that are social as well as financial. Without a society who need the finances. You cannot have a Republic or a society that operates when no one is in agreement. Everyone has an opinion and there are a lot of people in this country. The laws and the Truth upon which they are based should be an agreement for most people. So don’t think social issues are not impacting this country, for you see hords in the street running around and unable to be definitive about what they are yelling about.

      Santorum is a man of convictions who appreciates the people who have died for this country and those who uphold the laws of this land. Santorum should be the father of this country. Santorum may not go along with all this hedonism that people have enjoyed and used to destroy the future of their children. People who have been selfish and hedonistic have caused confusion in their young children as to who to believe. They have not been able to trust their parents due to some of their parents bad habits, and others have lost trust in their parents due to the filth they hear at school and the lies and dumbing down of their education. These childre for the past two or three generations have been encouraged to listen to anyone but their parents and this is the result we see out on the street living and acting, in some cases, like mongrel dogs. The children who have strong family backgrounds will have to be put into some type private schools to maintain respect for those who do respect their parents and teachers are mistreated, in many cases, by ones who are at school because they have to be. This needs to stop. These children raised by the state and brainwashed by the state have no close relationships and keep hunting their state parents who will never be there. They are confused as to who they are and the direction they should go. Like a leaf blowing in the wind, only a leaf with a weapon of some sort.
