Automotive News notes that the Mitt Romney support group Restore Our Future has a series of television advertisements ready for Michigan airwaves that refer to Rick Santorum as a “big spender” and “Washington insider” who lacks the kind of private sector business experience Romney has. Santorum has worked as a lobbyist since he left Congress. One ad points out that during Santorum’s time in Congress, he voted for “billions in wasteful projects,” including Alaska’s infamous “Bridge to Nowhere.”

Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, the present GOP favored in Michigan polls, would have said no to auto bailouts. He thinks the car manufacturers needed to figure out how to stop hemorrhaging money on their own, rather than relying upon taxpayer funds. GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum blasts automotive bailouts (http://www.cardealexpert.com/news-information/auto-news/rick-santorum-automotive-bailouts/). Santorum did not hesitate to inform the 300 in attendance at the Detroit Economic Club luncheon Thursday of his opinion regarding how GM and Chrysler would be doing if not for the bailout money.
