My favorite part of this clip is when Santorum explains to Huntsman why we don’t just arbitrarily bring out troops home from Afghanistan. I think Santorum was the only one to mention radical Islam tonight. Kudos to Santorum:

    The hawks tonight did some flying tonight but unfortunatley the debate was a real snoozer.

    Great job Rick Santorum!

  • Maxsteele

    Santorum, you da man! Amen brother.

  • StNikao

    Yes, Santorum was great here and throughout the evening. It was his best debate.

    And ABC was very positive and did not use the usual bias language to drive this … I did not catch any lies or marginalizing either.

    Good job Santorum!!!!!!

    Indeed.

    Santorum won me over by this alone.

    Just kidding of course but he is now my favorite and that was the final straw to turn it in his favor. He seems to get it the rest not so much.

    If Santorum keeps talking like this Romney’s going to be an afterthought.

      Romney looked a little uncomfortable tonight now that Santorum has found his voice.

        Romney who?

    Santorum won this debate tonight. By far the most Conservative of the lot. He’s certainly gaining my respect as the Republican nominee.

    Santorum could be right but so could Huntsman. Nobody can really define the mission in Afghanistan and that is probably Barack Obama’s fault since he has no interest in informing us about what is going on over there. I would like somebody to explain to me what exactly our troops are trying to accomplish. At least in Iraq we had some sort of idea what we wanted which was a free democratic peaceful country. If that is our goal in Afghanistan we will be there for the next 100 years.

    “The group that called me corrupt is called CREW. A left wing organization. If you are not sued by them, then you aren’t a conservative. Ron you should know better than to cite them, they are a George Soros group.”

    I don’t like the adjective “radical” but at least Santorum gets in the ballpark. Islam is the problem.

    I love being politically incorrect. I’m such an extremist.

    You go Rick!!!!!! I loved this part. He really did do a good job on this debate. I have laways liked him, but this debate, I think made his stock rise even more. That clip was what sounding Presidential is all about.

    Santorum is unimpressive at best. Might as well switch him out with Bob Dole. They are interchangeable in boredom.

      yeah? well so is corrupt politics. what do you want? someone to “tickle your ears” ?

    Rick Santorum worries me a little. Someone told me about his, and this isn’t good. He supports SOPA? The internet is one of the only things in this country this rogue government doesn’t have its hands in. Now it wants to infiltrate that too. It doesn’t help with that big government label that he has. This isn’t a website I’ve ever gone to, but someone told me, so I did a search on it. We already have copyright laws in this country. It seems like they want to infringe on the freedom of some to protect others from having their products stolen? When my house is robbed they don’t put a policeman at my door, they tell me to get an alarm or a dog. Any opinions on this?

    Rick Santorum has come out in support of online internet blacklist and censorship bill Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).

    He seems like a nice enough person, but I get this sense of snarkieness about him, that I don’t like. Does anyone else sense this?

    To all the Santorum supporters, I’m not trying to knock your guy, it’s just an air about him, that rubs me the wrong way. I think he’s honest, but I get the impression he’s a Bush type.

      Ofcourse he is in favor of it,

      It will later help in Bann Porn and other “Immoral Godless Sites” on the net, Cant have Freedom, no no no.

      Your Freedom ends where Santorum’s version of the bible says it does

    …right On RICK RIGHT ON , the enemy is the religion ( CULT ) of ISLAM and it must be ERADICATED ASAP !”

  • The Ancient

    So basically Santorum is in Favour of Never Ending War, and he also knows better than the Generals Apparently because “as commander in chief I make that decision not the Generals”

    I am glad all his years of active duty military service gave him the ability to know more about warfare than the Generals, ohh wait he never served, that is right……. nevermind

    I am glad Santorum is willing to send others to do what he never had the balls to do himself

    No wonder all the Active Duty military personnel support him, ohhh wait they dont, never mind

    Radical Islam is at war with us whether we like it or not and Santorum seems to be the only one to recognize the fact.
