‎"If Cuba wants to open their door after the Castro's die, the United States stands ready to embrace you with Mountains of Aid..."

-Rick Santorum, NBC Debate January 23, 2012

[AngryCanadian]

wow that was really stupid.

[muh_roads]

"I am ready to steal from others to give mountains of aid"

[vita3]

This guy is a noob

But I'm glad he openly admits that in order to have a foreign realtionship w/ America you need to except our taxpayers $$.

[Edward]

"Mountains of aid"! Can you believe he said that?!

Free money! Rick Santorum is giving it away! How generous of him. :rolleyes:

[rpwi]

Pretty bad on Rick's part...nice to know he should be gone in a week after the Florida results come in and he faces the prospect of campaigning in multiple states at once which he won't be able to handle.

[ericthethe]

He's done after Florida. Calling it.

[nbhadja]

Mountains of aid= brutally forcing IMF extreme interest loans, extreme IMF central bank inflation on Cuba that will transform Cuba from a country with one of the lowest poverty rates on earth back to the extreme poverty and starvation country like it was with CIA backed Batista regime prior to Castro.

[Muwahid]

I caught that too I was like:

[No Free Beer]

They are all so hypocritical.

"Iran cutting off the Strait is an act of war"

next minute...

"We need to blockade"

[SonofThunder]

He's done after Florida. Calling it.Yep, he knows it too. It was apparent on his face.

[MsDoodahs]

Yep, he knows it too. It was apparent on his face.

Agreed. Wish he'd get off the stage before the next debate.....

[Tyler_Durden]

Funny how Newt and Rick were trying to create a new War cry against Cuba. They won't give it anymore thought once they leave Florida......

[No Free Beer]

Rick Santorum won't be out after Florida.

[ericthethe]

Rick Santorum won't be out after Florida.

Possibility. Money might be thrown at Santorum for the sole purpose of keeping him in to take up debate time. Also to give people the illusion that Paul doesn't have a chance because he'll continue to be the only candidate who hasn't won a state.

[flightlesskiwi]

"Mountains of aid"! Can you believe he said that?!

maybe he meant "mountain of AIDS" the us was going to give cubans a "mountain of AIDS"... didn't he mention that cubans are brown and are in cahoots with jihadists?

The water is rising and there is only room for three on this island.

"[The sanctions] should continue. They should continue until the Castros are dead and then we should make it very clear that if you want mountains of aid, if you want normal relationships, if you want to improve your economy, if you want to have the opportunity for freedom, that the United States stands ready now to embrace you now that you've gotten rid of these tyrants who have controlled you for these 50 plus years. That's why the sanctions have to stay in place because we need to have a very solid offer to come forward and help the Cuban people."

[Phyxrgon]

more like break the poor country after this long...

[seapilot]

Rick Santorum won't be out after Florida.


If RP starts out polling Rick by 7 pts between now and the primary, he will drop and endorse Romney so RP ends up last at third. That is right from Rick Perry and Huntsman playbook.

[rambone]

Don't forget Rick Santorum's 2008 article, Vote For Foreign Aid (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08219/902030-35.stm#ixzz1iXeCAjpG).

[tttppp]

"[The sanctions] should continue. They should continue until the Castros are dead and then we should make it very clear that if you want mountains of aid, if you want normal relationships, if you want to improve your economy, if you want to have the opportunity for freedom, that the United States stands ready now to embrace you now that you've gotten rid of these tyrants who have controlled you for these 50 plus years.

How are sanctions helping the Cuban people?

[Time for Change]

wait til you see the entire clip of his answer, he was grasping, fetching, struggling ...all while completely alienating the florida hispanics with his roundabout rambling nonsense.
a lot like that last line...:p

[alucard13mmfmj]

cuban jihadist... *sigh*

[CaptUSA]

This was a calculation. His camp believes that Cuban-Americans in Florida would love their families back home to get huge amounts of free money. And if Cuba becomes rich enough at the American teat, these people may even choose to move back home.

Remember, many of these people left their homeland, not in search of a better land, but because they were running away from a dictator. If you take the dictator away and give the island lots of money, they'd love to go back.

At least, this is what Santorum is thinking.

[EaSy]

Insight into Santorum's mind: "Cuba is one huge al-Qaeda training camp. Lets nuke them now! There is still time!" :D

[Teenager For Ron Paul]

I find it ironic how everyone but Paul was saying that everyone's going to be sailing over here when Castro dies. Lol, yeah they're gonna want to leave right when their dictator dies! But until then, it's all good staying!

[No Free Beer]

Possibility. Money might be thrown at Santorum for the sole purpose of keeping him in to take up debate time. Also to give people the illusion that Paul doesn't have a chance because he'll continue to be the only candidate who hasn't won a state.

A person donated 500,000 for his superpac.

that same guy has already donated millions.

Santorum won't drop out after Florida, unless he finishes a distant 4th (which I don't see happening).

[No Free Beer]

Insight into Santorum's mind: "Cuba is one huge al-Qaeda training camp. Lets nuke them now! There is still time!" :D

Santorum thinks everyone who disagrees with US culture is an islamic/mexican/socialist/Iranian/Hezbollah/Hamas-terrorist...

[Brian4Liberty]

Santorum inspired:

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, and we must reject those who spread fear." - B4L update of FDR

[Lishy]

If we were to kill Hilary Clinton, China will shower us with mountains of aid!

See? I can say the same to them! (Course, I'm not actually calling for any assassinations.. Just pointing out how hypocritical that remark of Santorum was.)

[flightlesskiwi]

cuban jihadist... *sigh*

building platforms 90 miles away from our border.


i wonder how this dude sleeps at night-- he's so worried and fearful.

[Edward]

Anyone surprised that the MSM did not report on this?
