Santorum says that Romney "doesn't have a core." He certainly doesn't hold core convictions IMO. He is a political opportunist who panders to each group he speaks in front of, changing his position according to what his audience wants to hear.
Here is a must see video just released by Rick Santorum. Where does Mitt stand on the issues?

Romney Supporters/Staff Caught Stealing Dozens of Santorum Signs
Shall we say Lefty tactic? Do we really want a candidate who is willing to use dirty, Leftist tactics to win?

Ron Paul's Deceitfulness
I am not a Ron Paul fan. In fact this may surprise some conservatives but he is my least favorite of the last four presidential candidates in the GOP race. He is the least trustworthy IMO. He kept on changing his answers when it came to reporters questioning him on his letters. And, yes, I do think that he lied through his teeth when he said he didn't know who wrote the racist parts of his letter. Even if I give him the benefit of the doubt and he doesn't know who wrote the racist parts of his newsletters that goes beyond incompetence, to negligence IMO. I do not want a president with that type of "hands off" approach. You wouldn’t trust a medical procedure to someone who took the easy route and got medical training from an online college, so why would you trust someone to run the country who either lies or is negligent? The extent to which someone involves and invests themselves, speaks volumes to how serious they are about the ultimate quality of their work.”
Like last night in the debate he said the problem with politics in Washington is that it does take a team effort. He is an idealist who is unwilling to compromise and be a team player with fellow Republicans but when it comes to pushing his isolationist foreign policy agenda he is more than willing to work with Democrats. Ron Paul is willing to be a part of the team when it comes to working with Democrats to promote his nightmare of an isolationist foreign policy agenda. Paul thinks that a madman who has threatened to blow Israel off the face of the map has a "right" to have possession of a nuclear weapon. That is just crazy talk. He is just another political opportunist who uses people for his own cause. I don't like his snobbish attitude in how he thinks that he is better than other politicians just because he talks about liberty, the constitution, and freedom. Just because he gives speeches and interviews promoting liberty? Seriously? He has a flawed view of both our federal government and the tenth amendment. It seems to me that Ron Paul thinks that the Federal government has no role in the United States. The tenth amendment does give states the right to develop different systems of education and different health care services but it does NOT give the states the right to do harm. Some states do not have the right to legalize abortion while others ban abortion. The Constitution says that every person has an unalienable right to life and his tenth amendment views violate the Constitution, the very Constitution he pretends to uphold.
Ron Paul's recent television ad is deceitful in its implications which suggest that Rick Santorum supports Planned Parenthood. This couldn't be further from the truth. Paul equates voting for a budget that has Title X funding in it with supporting Planned Parenthood. That is fallacious. Rick Santorum not only talks the pro-life talk but also walks the walk so when people falsely accuse him of otherwise or distort his record for political opportunism it irks me to no end. Under the law it is a requirement for budgets to be passed. This happened under Bush. Unfortunately we haven't seen a budget passed since April 29, 2009, not long after the Democrats took control of the House, Senate, and White House. Plus, the Democratically controlled Senate has blocked all efforts to pass a budget since the Republicans took control of the House.
In an article on LifeNews.com Steven Ertelt makes it clear that Rick Santorum is a stalwart defender of the unborn and does not support Planned Parenthood.

In an article on LifeNews.com Steven Ertelt makes it clear that Rick Santorum is a stalwart defender of the unborn and does not support Planned Parenthood.
From Life News:
On Monday, on the Sean Hannity program on Fox News, Santorum himself responded to the charge.
“Look, I’m not a big fan of Title X, that is Planned Parenthood. No, I want to defund Planned Parenthood,” he told Hannity.
Santorum also said in December that he strongly supports the most recent efforts in Congress to eliminate taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood.
“[The abortion] is an inhumanity that should not occur in this country,” Santorum said, according to the Daily Iowan. “[Tax dollars] should not be used for things that are morally objectionable.”
“I can’t imagine any other organization with its roots as poisonous as the roots of Planned Parenthood getting federal funding of any kind,” Santorum said. “This is an organization that was founded on the eugenics movement, founded on racism — I mean, it’s horrific. It’s origins are horrific. And you can say, ‘well it’s not that anymore.’ It’s not far from where it was in my opinion.”
In fact, the record shows Santorum has a long line of votes to deny taxpayer funding for abortion and Planned Parenthood and frequently compiled 100% pro-life voting records from the National Right to Life Committee.
Life News has posted at least some of Santorum's pro-life votes while he served in the senate.
* July 2003 – Voted to support the Mexico City Policy de-funding Planned Parenthood.
* May 2003 – Voted against allowing abortions at tax-funded military base hospitals.
* June 2000 – Voted against allowing abortions at tax-funded military base hospitals.
* May 1999 – Voted against allowing abortions at tax-funded military base hospitals.
* June 1998 – Voted against allowing abortions at tax-funded military base hospitals.
* July 1997 – Voted against taxpayer funding of abortions in federal employee health insurance plans.
* July 1997 – Voted against allowing abortions at tax-funded military base hospitals.
* June 1997 – Voted against taxpayer funding of abortions in the S-CHIP program
* February 1997 – Voted against taxpayer fund of the pro-abortion UNFPA
On the other hand, is Ron Paul truly pro-life? This is part of what is in his prolife profile:
Ron Paul wants to be pro-life but is officially pro-choice state by state, and so contradicts himself and wrongly assumes that states' rights supersede human rights, concluding that a state like California has the right to permit abortion. But the right to life is God-given so there can be no 'right' to decriminalize child killing.

Rick Santorum Rally at Steubenville, OH February 20, 2012
My husband and I attended a Rick Santorum rally yesterday in Steubenville, Ohio. Santorum was on fire! It was a great experience for the both of us. Kevin recorded the speech along with the question and answer session. If the videos get too shaky don't blame me, blame the guest blogger, Kevin. LOL! Overall I think my hubby did a pretty darn good job recording the speech.
A Joke, A Bad Joke Maybe? Blah Blah Blah Stop with Your PC Mentality & Get Over It
People are so PC today they are unable to get a joke, even it is a bad joke. It is impossible for the PC crowd to shrug off a bad joke. To the PC overly sensitive idiots: Get the heck over it!! The people who are in a tizzy over this must be self-conscience or something. Progressives are self-hating people so.... An old guy told an old joke. So what. If the feminuts feel offended, oh well. Take a hard look at yourself and think the next time before you sleep with some guy you barely know. Nothing like opening yourself up to PTSDs STDs and other risks. Nah, we're not screwed up with our priorities nowadays..... Liberals are more worried about a bad joke than women having sex and their being the possibility that they will catch all those venereal diseases, AIDS, etc. Get a grip folks. If liberals had even a speck of self-control they wouldn't put themselves in bad positions.
This is the joke: “You know, back in my days, they’d use Bayer aspirin for contraceptives, The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.”
It may not have been funny but it sure wasn't something to get outraged over. Unless you've got an agenda. And progressives always do.
The Other McCain says We Forgive You, Foster Friess and points out that the joke that libs have dubbed "controversial" was probably first used by Phyllis Diller. This took place way back when, when women, specifically progressive women, had a sense of humor or could at least not get overly sensitive after hearing a bad joke.
Foster Friess ended up apologizing to the uptight, politically correct, feminuts and the rest of the dummicrats.

The Stark Contrast Between Rick Santorum and Barack Obama
In The Thinking voter's article The Thinking Voter debunks RedState's unfounded accusations that Rick Santorum and Barack Obama are two peas in a pod, that Santorum is a carbon copy of Obama. How delusional can one get? This accusation is absurd.
From The Thinking Voter:
I’ve noticed many folks have been comparing Rick Santorum to Barack Obama and other pro-life Democrats.
Such a comparison is worthy of “the weirdest claim made yet against Rick Santorum” award. They seem to have forgotten that there are no true pro-life Democrats for even Democrat “staunch pro-lifer” Bart (Mark) Stupak had agreed to put his pro-life stance aside in order to provide Obama with the final vote for Obamacare. Those who compare Santorum to Democrats like Obama have also obviously not watched this video in which Senator Santorum fought against federal funding for partial-birth abortion in 1998.
Social issues aside, let us see just how similar Santorum is to Barack Obama and the Democrat Party. We all agree that to beat Obama one must be able to draw a strong contrast between their record and Obama’s. Is Santorum able to do that?
Let’s check it out:
TARP - Government Bailouts
Rick Santorum had opposed TARP right from the start. He didn’t merely pay lip-service in opposition, but railed out against it several months later in ’09 at CPAC.
TARP had received support not only from then-candidate Obama but also by a majority of the GOP establishment including Newt and Mitt. Santorum also opposed Obama’s stimulus, the auto bailout, and the Fannie-Freddie bailout.
Needless to say, Obama is the King of the Bailouts.
Next.
Government Reform – Reducing Spending and Dependency on Government
In the 1990s, when he was only a freshman Senator, Rick Santorum was a leading author on the bill that completely overhauled the country’s welfare system.
Yes, you read that right. As a Congressman, Santorum had started the fight for welfare reform in the House, and once in the Senate he combined forces with his old buddies, actually wrote the bill, and successfully fought the left and ensured its passage. To give credit when credit is due, Newt who was speaker of the House at the time, voted in support of the bill.
Santorum also voted for the Freedom to Farm Act in 1996 that started the process of ending direct farm subsidies. When Congress decided that it couldn’t live up to that promise, it voted to re-establish the subsidies in 2002 with the Farm Security Act, a bill that Santorum rightly opposed. Santorum voted for a balanced budget amendment and a line-item veto in 1995.
Santorum strongly believes in a bottom-up economy and in keeping government out of the private sector in most cases.
Obama obviously strongly opposes all reform to the federal government since, as we all know, he wants us all dependent on government for our health-care and every-day needs. He has successfully vastly increased the number of individuals collecting unemployment, Medicaid, and Food Stamps.
Okay, they clearly differ on role of government. All right, let’s try something else.
Health Care Mandates – Obamacare
Oops! Here’s a video from Rick Santorum in 1994 where he clearly and passionately spoke against government mandating individuals into buying health-care or anything else for that matter. This is a direct quote from Rick Santorum spoken in 1994 when health-care mandates were on the table;
“I think what the role of the federal government is to provide opportunity for everyone to get what they want, to live their dreams and not to dictate what everybody should have.”
Sounds like Obama to you? Not to me. Let’s also remember that in 1994 both Newt and Romney amongst many other Republicans had heavily supported and pushed for health-care mandates.
Still convinced he’s a carbon copy of Obama at least in some way? Let’s continue!

National Review Calls on Newt Gingrich to Drop Out and Endorse Santorum
I found out this bit of news from The American Catholic. Like them, this surprised me since I had noticed a bunch of Pro-Romney pieces over at the National Review. Today the National Review has taken a bold move and requested that Gingrich drop out of the race and endorse Rick Santorum. With Santorum's rise in popularity and continued surge, and Gingrich's implosion I think this is a good idea.
It isn’t yet a Romney–Santorum contest, but it could be headed that way. We hope so. Gingrich’s verbal and intellectual talents should make him a resource for any future Republican president. But it would be a grave mistake for the party to make someone with such poor judgment and persistent unpopularity its presidential nominee. It is not clear whether Gingrich remains in the race because he still believes he could become president next year or because he wants to avenge his wounded pride: an ambiguity that suggests the problem with him as a leader. When he led Santorum in the polls, he urged the Pennsylvanian to leave the race. On his own arguments the proper course for him now is to endorse Santorum and exit.
Santorum has been conducting himself rather impressively in his moments of triumph and avoiding characteristic temptations. He is doing his best to keep the press from dismissing him as merely a “social-issues candidate.” His recent remark that losing his Senate seat in 2006 taught him the importance of humility suggests an appealing self-awareness. And he has rightly identified the declining stability of middle-class families as a threat to the American experiment, even if his proposed solutions are poorly designed. But sensible policies, important as they are, are not the immediate challenge for his candidacy. Proving he can run a national campaign is.
Santorum is now leading Romney in the polls in Michigan. This is good news. Gingrich seems to have a lot of antipathy for Romney so I have a feeling if Santorum continues his surge and Gingrich continues to do poorly than Gingrich will drop out and endorse Santorum.
From The Guardian:
A Pew Research Center poll taken this week puts support for Santorum among Republican voters at 30%, two percentage points ahead of Romney. A month ago, Romney held a 31% to 14% lead over Santorum.
A Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey released on Monday showed that Santorum has taken a significant lead in the Michigan primary in a fortnight. Santorum is at 39%, 15 percentage points ahead of Romney. The numbers are a stinging blow to Romney because he was born in Michigan and his father was governor of the state.
Michelle Malkin Has Endorsed Rick Santorum For President
Michelle Malkin has endorsed Rick Santorum for President. Michelle gives reasons why she chose to support Rick.
From Michelle Malkin.com:
This is good news for Santorum. I hope that he picks up momentum again.
From Michelle Malkin.com:
Rick Santorum opposed TARP.
He didn’t cave when Chicken Littles in Washington invoked a manufactured crisis in 2008. He didn’t follow the pro-bailout GOP crowd — including Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich — and he didn’t have to obfuscate or rationalize his position then or now, like Rick Perry and Herman Cain did. He also opposed the auto bailout, Freddie and Fannie bailout, and porkulus bills.
Santorum opposed individual health care mandates — clearly and forcefully — as far back as his 1994 U.S. Senate run. He has launched the most cogent, forceful fusillade against both Romney and Gingrich for their muddied, pro-individual health care mandate waters.
He voted against cap and trade in 2003, voted yes to drilling in ANWR, and unlike Romney and Gingrich, Santorum has never dabbled with eco-radicals like John Holdren, Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi. He hasn’t written any“Contracts with the Earth.”
Santorum is strong on border security, national security, and defense. Mitt the Flip-Flopper and Open Borders-Pandering Newt have been far less trustworthy on immigration enforcement.
Santorum is an eloquent spokesperson for the culture of life. He has beensavaged and ridiculed by leftist elites for upholding traditional family values — not just in word, but in deed.
He won Iowa through hard work and competent campaign management. Santorum has improved in every GOP debate and gave his strongest performance last week in Florida, wherein he both dismantled Romneycare and popped the Newt bubble by directly challenging the front-runners’ character and candor without resorting to their petty tactics.
He rose above the fray by sticking to issues.
Most commendably, he refused to join Gingrich and Perry in indulging in the contemptible Occupier rhetoric against Romney. Character and honor matter. Santorum has it.
Now she points out that he doesn't have a perfect conservative record. But his minor flubs are not nearly as egregious as Newt, Mitt, or Paul's straying from conservative principles. Let's be clear, there is no perfect person. There is no perfect candidate. He has been the most consistent conservative out of all the candidates. Michelle Malkin goes on to explain why she did not endorse Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, or Ron Paul.
Rick Santorum has a new radio ad targeting Newt called "Out Of This World". America needs to get its fiscal house in order. Newt wants to spend money on a moon colony. That's fiscal insanity.
Rick Santorum is leading in the favorability poll. His speech at St. Charles Community College drew an over capacity crowd.
From the St. Louis Examiner:
Many grassroots activists are rallying behind Santorum as the latest conservative hope for the presidential GOP nominee. In a Public Policy Polling article, on Tuesday, Santorum was leading in a favorability poll above all remaining candidates.
In Missouri, held a week from today, Santorum has a 63-21 favorability spread to Gingrich’s 52-32, Romney’s 46-36, and Paul’s 28-57. On the actual primary ballot, for which Gingrich did not qualify, Santorum leads with 45% to Romney’s 34% and Paul’s 13%. In the caucus, in which Gingrich can compete, Santorum falls to second at 28% behind the former speaker’s 30% and ahead of Romney’s 24% and Paul’s 11%. Head-to-head, Gingrich would defeat Romney in the state, 43-42, but Santorum would, 50-37. That is because Santorum’s supporters only go for Gingrich by eight points over Romney, but Gingrich’s vote for Santorum by 28 points.
Here is Santorum's new T.V. ad:
This is good news for Santorum. I hope that he picks up momentum again.
Santorum does NOT support SOPA
Here Rick Santorum answers a question on the proposed bill, called SOPA. One blog over at RedState.com uses one section of his comment to promote the lie, that he supports SOPA. That is untrue. He does support some type of piracy legislation. He says that he is not familiar with the bill so he doesn't have an opinion one way or the other on it.
Here is a congressman who is familiar with the bill. Rep. Issa has concerns with regards to SOPA. He explains some basic flaws with the bill.

Endorsements Galore for Santorum: Evangelical Leaders, South Carolina GOP Leaders and More...
From Fox News: The call to back Santorum was only finalized after three rounds of ballots. On the third ballot, Santorum received 85 of 114 votes cast -- some conservative leaders who had been backing Gingrich changed their votes in the end to support Santorum. The group rallied around the idea that Santorum, and not Gingrich, is the candidate best able to beat President Obama in November.
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, expressed surprise that the group agreed to back Santorum by such a wide margin, after failing to come together in support of a single candidate in 2008. In that race, the group didn't even meet until the primary race was basically over. This time, according to J.P. Duffy of the Family Research Council, the group wanted to come together "before it was too late."
Rick has received more endorsements from three South Carolina GOP leaders - Stephen Brown, Bill Connor, and Patrick Haddon - Maggie Gallagher of the National Organization For Marriage and the pro-life activist Abby Johnson.
Thank You Rick Santorum: If It Wasn't for Your Support of Specter We (most likely) Wouldn't Have Either Alito or Roberts on Supreme Court
Senator Arlen Specter was the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee when Rick Santorum was in the senate. Being the sneaky opportunistic little devil that Specter was he pretty much blackmailed Santorum, saying if you support my reelection bid I will support whichever Supreme Court nominees that Pres. Bush picks. The fact that Specter was the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee meant that he had a lot of power over who was going to make it out of the committee. So, yes, Santorum supported Specter over Toomey. Santorum knew that his decision to do so would be a greater benefit in the long run to both conservatism and the pro-life movement. Now, we have Justices Samuel Alito and John Roberts, two conservative strict constructionists that will be on the Supreme Court for a very long time which will benefit us for years to come. What if Santorum had said no to Specter and there were two moderate wishy-washy types sitting on the bench today where would that leave us with Obamacare and other important controversial issues brought before the Supreme Court? So, I send a big thank you to Rick Santorum for supporting the greater good. Pennsylvania conservatives should be thanking Santorum for this, not chastising him and railing against him because of what you perceive as a mistake, a blemish on his conservative, pro-life credentials. His conservative, pro-life credentials are very much in tact. He supported Specter in exchange for two pro-life justices who are now sitting on the Supreme Court. He made a good deal. Santorum made the best decision he could have at that time. He turned a lemon into lemonade IMO because now we have two lifetime appointed, pro-life, strict constructionist justices on the Supreme Court.
Rick Santorum Schools NBC's David Gregory on Obama's Appeasement
Santorum truly crushes David Gregory in this exchange. David Gregory is totally clueless to reality if he thinks that any person who looks at Obama's policies objectively wouldn't think that Obama's policies have included appeasement of our enemies. Gregory and his ilk must be living in some type of alternate reality - its called insanity.

Rick Santorum Surges in Iowa
I am pleased to announce that Rick Santorum has broken from the back of the pack, is surging ahead and now is virtually in second place (if you add the polls in the last two days) in the Des Moines Register Iowa Poll. His message is resonating with people. We need someone as President who understands that both the family and economics are connected. We need someone with a strong foreign policy background. We need a person who has a record of getting things done in Congress. Rick Santorum is all this rolled into one individual. He is just the man we need to be President of the United States. I just hope his momentum continues.
In the recent weeks, Santorum has picked up two endorsements - one from Sam Clovis who is a Sioux City talk-show host and the other is from the bestselling thriller author Brad Thor. This is the first time Clovis has endorsed a candidate in the caucuses.
From abc News:
He said he’s supporting Santorum because he is an “ideal candidate” who believes in “a constitutionally limited government, fiscal responsibility, strong national defense and unflagging devotion to life and traditional marriage.” Thor said in a statement that Santorum is the “one presidential candidate who understands and can swiftly address the threats facing our nation.”
“Rick knows that the world would be forever changed by Iran getting a nuclear weapon, and he has sworn to keep this from happening. I am excited to add my endorsement to the growing list of prominent supporters who understand that Rick Santorum is the right man, at the right time to lead our nation,” Thor said.
Santorum has also received the backing recently of the state’s secretary of state, Matt Schultz, and several high-profile Iowa pastors.

MIni Eagle Freedom Links -Coca-Cola Christmas--12-13-11
I have decided to do a series of Mini Eagle Freedom Links this week since I have been feeling fatigued. Probably partially due to my having a Vitamin B12 deficiency. I'm working on remedying that. I still get a little dizzy but thankfully not near as much as before. Still waiting for results from my colonoscopy and endoscopy. It still hurts when I breathe. Not quite as bad as it was, thankfully. I am heading to the ENT doctor on Thursday to find out whether the tube that was in my throat during my surgery is what has caused my throat problems. I am very thankful that I am in the process of fixing my medical issues and that I am feeling better than before. The month of December seems to be flying by very quickly. Is everyone ready for Christmas? Got all your holiday decorations up and presents wrapped? Still shopping for that special person? I still need to put up my Christmas tree and decorations. Have you been watching any Christmas movies? I hope everyone is enjoying this Christmas season.
