Ask the 30,000 Iowans who voted for rick, ask if they know any bill Rick voted for/against, 98% would tell you they dont know, instead they really voted for him cause fox news told them to.

They would say because of his family values..... Which means he hates gays.

Rick Santorum completely won that because the media pushed him to the top with no time to actually educate people about him. They did this on purpose after seeing Ron completely destroy Gingrich. Rick Santorum shouldn't worry people, because a couple of insightful ads like the one about Gingrich (Santorum has easily as much dirt on him as Gingrich) and people will be completely turned off to the guy. Coupled with the fact that he has no ground game and not much money means Romney always has been and always will be the guy that we'll have to be worried about. Also, Santorum didn't get on a ton of state ballots in time, right? I know he didn't even file the paperwork here in VA.

Thank you Knarf (Brian?),

That's quite a bit of research that you've done.

Would you mind if I cut and pasted this so that it could be posted on another forum? It's the lazy way out, I know.

I understand if you don't want me to. No offense if you say no.

I appreciate your hard work.

Radio Interview Transcript. Originally first aired on NPR August 4, 2005:

Senator RICK SANTORUM ("It Takes a Family"): They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do. Government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulation low and that we shouldn't get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn't get involved in cultural issues, you know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world, and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can't go it alone, that there is no such society that I'm aware of where we've had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture.
:eek:

Here's the video from that interview on The Judge's Show last night. If anyone has a YouTube please post. This video needs to go viral to expose Santorum:
