Hannity read Santorum's statement as such: "Rick has been clear he supports a woman's right to contraception. He agrees with Mitt Romney 100% on the issue."
Check out the article above and watch the video attached to it at 17:55. It doesn't sound to me like he supports a woman's right to contraception. Now that interview occurred just 4 months ago. Watch the rest of that video and tell me, is that a fellow who is going to win over the Republicans and Independents needed to win the general election against Obama?
Okay, let's finish with the statement that Hannity read, "They do differ on one important reproductive health issue. Rick opposes all forms of abortion including the morning after pill. RomneyCare legislation allows for $50 abortions and tax payers subsidies." Mitt did a decent job defending his position that the legislation does NOT support abortion, it's that pesky Judges thing. (You know those Judges that Newt would like to just get rid of.)
Final note, it's awesome that Santorum released an ad that accuses Romney of attacking Santorum, and he hasn't done that yet. Add to it that the Santorum approved ad accuses Romney of supporting Cap and Trade which is categorically false. The ad didn't have much on substance (a couple of points). Romney's SPAC counterpoint ad covered 4 points and that was the focus of the ad, not the entertainment value of it.
Rick has been a politician a long time and attorney so he knows how to be slick, decieve and twist the truth to his favor. He was corrupt in congress and we do not want this kind of person in the White House. Look at his illegal charity, his PAC donations that were used for living expenses. He cannot be trusted with our money let alone the political fate of our nation. Watch the following video on his corruption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q7l70tmxWg&context=C3fcdc47ADOEgsToPDskJu21-gQGvizlEOJEPRfRj3
I hope Romney's TV and radio ads highlight the fact that Santorum is raking in millions of dollars in Washington as an unregistered lobbyist.
And the fact that in 2006, the vast majority of Pennsylvania voters told Santorum "YOU'RE FIRED!!!"
And the fact that Santorum voted to raise the debt ceiling 5 times.
And last but not least, the fact that Santorum says he's qualified to run the executive branch of our federal government, even though he's never run anything but his mouth.
A couple of things, if we are to be fair. I wouldn't say raking in millions, but hundreds of thousands. And the whole debt ceiling is kind of a moot point. They've been doing that at least once a year since 1962. (The first debt ceiling raise occurred in 1916. Since 1962, it has been raised over 74 times.) It has only become a major issue since we sent TEA Party candidates to DC. THAT IS A GOOD THING! But it should also tell you that Santorum is NO TEA Party candidate.
It's not the debt ceiling issue by itself, but the total package of money grabbing by the Republicans who broke our trust during the 1990s and 2000s.
I think the big point to make about Santorum is that he was a big part of the problem when Republican's conntrolled Congress under GWB,who supported all of GWB's spending. Santorum unlike the current Senator from PA,Pat Toomey, was not a leader in the efforts to reduce spending and the deficit. The Tea Party came to being sue to spending like Republican Senators like Santorum.
I am surprised that the Romney team has not taken Santorum to task on his comment, that he did not support Tarp. Why should we believe Santorum? He was voted out of the Senate in 2006 by a landslide so he wasn't even able to vote on TARP in 2008 and if he was still in the Senate,his previous spending habits would clearly show that he would have have more than likely supported GWB and voted for TARP.

Santorum is just another flip flopping ABR.

Well said, Mitt!
