Glenn Beck: Another look at Rick Santorum?

9% Nationwide Sales Tax for starters….

His relationship with the Fed and his lack of knowledge and understanding of the constitution.

I agree, outtime. I have a lot of respect for Glenn and what he has brought out, how he has made people think about what is really going on in the WH and the world for that matter.

But, I do disagree with him on some of his stands, which is just fine. We can all agree to disagree, carry on political discourse and not resort (like the opposition) to slurs, race-baiting, name calling and out and out lying.

… *justify* not qualify. Mistake there.

I disagree. It seems to me the media HATES Santorum because he CANNOT be persuaded by public opinion. He has always stood for the right thing (albeit sometimes quite arrogantly), when it was simply EASIER to go with the flow. I completely trust Santorum, and all I ask is that you just look at his voting record here: http://www.issues2000.org/senate/Rick_Santorum.htm

You’ll make your own decision (which is what I love about politics ), I just ask that you don’t count him out yet. He really hasn’t gotten a fair shake in the media, so please, if you haven’t already…look at how he has ACTUALLY voted.

Anywho, hope everyone has a great day today!

How can you say that Glen Beck realized the flaw of Ron Paul? Glenn Beck just spoke exactly the same foreign policy as Ron Paul.

Despite all the media claims, there are only two front-runners and the others might as well drop and stop spending their supporters’ money. Either Cain or Gingrich will be the nominee. Hopefully, they will just merge for one ticket. Now if the others could handle cabinet positions, how incredible would our ticket be?! I think that a conservative “team” approach would overwhelm the Dems and Libs like no other political movement ever has. Bring every single one of them to Washington to clean house and we actually COULD get something done.

As a fellow-PA resident, I agree. This is the one issue I fundamentally disagree with Glenn on. He always preaches to his viewers about not trusting politicians. He called out politicians who flip flopped on spending bills, obamacare, etc. Yet, he fails to ever explain how he can overlook Santorum, and other state republicans, shunning Pat Toomey when he ran against Arlen Specter. Santorum said that Pres Bush needed Arlen’s support and Toomey was too “fringe” to win PA. Seems to me that shortly after backing Specter, Santorum was kicked outta office by Bob Casey…and Pat Toomey ran so strong in PA that Specter switched parties (which still couldn’t get him reelected).

In PA, we just say NO to Santorum. Can’t be trusted to represent US over PARTY!

I really vetted the candidates myself… I didn’t just like Bachmann first and then be ‘loyal’… this is what I found on the others that made me say NO THANKS! Not even for 2nd place on any of these which I was also looking for:

ROMNEY: flip flopper extroidenaire, not a conservative record at all just all talk. What do they DO, not just what they say (and is even that consistent?? for most NO)

GINGRICH: 300k ethics fine – only Speaker to have that distinction, hypocricy of speaking on family values literally while sleeping around, agrees with Pelosi on the Environment, Is FOR individual health mandate like the government requiring you to have insurance (rather than the government just saying do what you want (like ObamneyCare) but we aren’t paying your bill with tax payers dollars) AND MORE! GOP will be SO called out on hypocricy that anything is okay as long as it by an “R” and not a Democrat!

PERRY: too many smokes to not be fire on questionable politically expedient decisions: suddenly Republican because he could elected, added then removed antiTSA bill then added, all in time to assure it couldn’t get passed, look for youtube videos where people ask him about it! Obviously connection to Merck, maker of Gardasil (how convenient) then just a RUDE JERK! pokes young guy in chest for calling him out on TSA issue even though kid was polite!, friend to La Raza (racist radical group) praised ‘open borders’ to Mexico’s President, praised Hillarycare, asks for big time amounts for Bailouts (airlines etc…) and asks for a lot of ‘stimulus’ funds ETC And some may blow this off, but that video of him acting so strangely at a speech… that troubles me… what on earth was going on? There were drinks there, I dont’ know, but man that is just plain odd… makes me uncomfortable trusting what choices were being made, but even so the earlier items are plenty to cross him off even if you ignore that.

CAIN- he’s going to destroyed in a general on all this scandal stuff, but even without guilt, he did lie when he said he didn’t know about payments to the woman (please, anyone think he isn’t bright enough to know they meant ANY type of payment? not a Clinton’s twist of ‘depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is” garbage)… Also his list of flip flops easily rivals Romney’s now which is hard to believe but true (will happily list them if you want) and his policy knowledge is just well, terrible honestly. He just needed to get into Congress first and get some real foundation of knowledge. He just can’t do that while already asking for our votes!
PAUL – well, if you love him, I’m not going to give you any info, but if you really don’t know, he’s just dead wrong on issues like Iran and nukes. He has literally said Iran is “no threat” and seriously we should be ‘friends’ with them. lol And now we know they are close to a nuke! Who does he think it’s for? We (USA) is the ‘Big Satan” and they call Israel the “little Satan”. Yikes!! He doesn’t understand their culture is required to HATE us infidels, it really isn’t an option and isn’t based on any action of ours, it is based on our not being Muslim lead and their persecution of Judeo-Christian values/people.
HUNTSMAN – well he’s too liberal for most (pro legalizing pot for example), but even then Santorums numbers are HALF of Bachmann’s and Hunstmans are HALF of Santorum’s!

So that should help answer why NOT the others… and that list is in no way complete for any of them I’m sure. So easy for me: Bachmann first, Santorum second but with his numbers, I’d love VP anyway.

Oh please get real, I can show videos of ALL of the candidates ‘bashing the others’. ALL of them. Even Gingrich, but he knows he’s in a glass house so…

He has directly talked negative about Romney and that he made a mistake before believing he was conservative, so not sure I buy that. He could say no thanks and just blow him off then without actually criticising him too harshly, but he he wasn’t that gentle about it. Bachmann & Santorum line up with his core values/beliefs… just like they do mine and a whole lot of others… We vote the primary for our best, not who were stuck with like the general election.

Yes – let’s nuke the entire region and then round up all the muslims in the US and Canada and shoot them all. Then there will be no more problems. We will have world peace.

I agree with your two things. Also I don’t like his economic plan for only one sector and his view that we have to be friends with Pakistan because of nuclear weapons. We must respect Pakistan, but they must respect us back. It looks to me that’s going to be impossible anytime soon, so I want to become the richest and most powerful again, this will make everybody else weaker. It’s all a money game.

I like the strategy of bombing the heck out of them.

You got my vote!

BOMBS AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

How do you “wipe Islam off the face of the Earth”? Your idea of bombing the hell out of Islamic states won’t achieve your stated goal. I hate to tell you this, despite the fact that I agree with what you ultimately want to achieve, but I don’t see any way to “win” in the classic sense. “Complete elimination of the threat”. This cannot be done. It can be diminished, held in check somewhat, but due to the nature of the threat, it can’t be completely defeated. There are groups/cells/individuals spread out all over the world who want to destroy our way of life! If you bomb the hell out of those Islamic states, you’ve just done AQ a huge favour AND you haven’t done a thing to make us more secure.

Ultimately, it’s a war of ideas, and we are losing that war. Bombs won’t win it (though I’m all for killing our enemies – the more, the better). We live in a society that is so damn tolerant (mainly from the left and center) of this abomination, this plague called “Islam”. Until we have leaders willing to change society’s views on INFERIOR and DANGEROUS ideologies like Islam, we don’t stand a chance. e.g. Muslims in N.A. and the West have not been forced to assimilate. Look at what has happened to London! Imagine Jewish or Christian women dressed from head to toe in religious garb? They would be rightly ridiculed as being backward. But we must tolerate this of Muslims?

What we have NOT done over the past decade is going to cost us millions of lives sometime in the not too distant future.

As a supporter of the President I second that. Do you folks not know that around 60% of the country has a negative opinion of Sarah Palin?

You have a point, and another reason I prefer Bachmann, but he’s still better than someone who is clueless or has serious integrity and character issues or jumbo flipflops or will get us blown away by Iran or is really a ‘snowjob’… not nearly as conservative as they like to appear. So he’s still my 2nd. Would love for VP.

Dumped by the people of Pennsylvania.

Cain? He’ll be heading back to the speech circuit. His candidacy is over. It was never serious, look at his Campaign Manager. He’s not ready to run for Congress, let alone POTUS. What’s more, he’s pretending to be an outsider when he was a DC lobbyist and was also on the Board of the Federal Reserve.

The President would beat him badly.

While Bachmann numbers have taken a beating they are able to come back to someone they already supported before the mass indecisiveness set it, lol even with so much waffling going on in voters, Santorums have not been able to see any movement and his numbers are still only half of hers. It would be a lot easier to make him VP. I mean the nominee picks the VP of course, but no reason we can’t try to influence! Bachmann/Santorum would be a great ticket.
