The Right Scoop
I don't believe the fact that he uses financial opportunity twice is a coincidence. He was clearly trying to push the idea that Palin is about money. It was clearly a dig at Palin.
We voted for term limits in our Montana legislature, and it ends up the only ones who really know how to run our state are the state employee bureaucrats. If I get a chance to revote this issue, I would vote against term limits. Our legislature meets only every other year, and it takes a house rep 2 terms just to figure out how things work - then they are done. Sticky issue.
Really? Really? That's a news story? That's dissing Sarah Palin. Where are you guys getting your drugs, because they must be amazing and I want some.
Total non story.
Rick said he would go = he lives near and nobody is asking him to do paid speeches.
As Rick said "he doesn't live in AK" so he could go easily Sarah has to fly 2500 miles.
As Rick said "her other opportunities are paid" ie CPAC is not paid and Sarah is in high demand as a speaker.
Where is the controversy I am not seeing it?!
in my household both the da and the mom (me and my spouse) have jobs and care for the kids. This was sexist !
That is precisely why I avoid lawyers,double speak (legalese) is their stock and trade, simple issues and clear cut statements convoluted with language until it means what they believe it should. My point in mentioning the Fourth Amendment is that if its words are read in "the ordinary context" it is a clear cut statement of the individual's right to privacy. I have never been a fan of Santorum or any "career politician" regardless of political affiliation, as it seems that they all begin to lose touch with what their job actually is. I really believe that any politician should not serve any more than two terms.
Actually it was on the topic of a challenge to a Texas sodomy law. However, I would point you to the Fourth Amendment, it's pretty clear.
Some of you may remember, others likely not, but Santorum stated in April 2003, that there was no right to privacy in the US Constitution.
You're Invited.... THIS FRIDAY!
Former New Jersey Senator Dick LaRossa will be addressing the 912 Project on several important topics, 2011 Elections and the New Jersey Supreme Court. He will be talking about the impact of the New Jersey Supreme Court on the school funding formula. The fact that it is the New Jersey Supreme Court that determines how the school funding formula is developed, and not the state legislature, is of critical importance in understanding how the funds are then distributed to the multiple school districts throughout the state. The outcomes of elections influence the selection of Supreme Court justices. And it is this intersection of citizen involvement by voting that makes the election process and the school funding formula items of both interest and importance.
Senator LaRossa won his seat in a district that he wasn't supposed to win in and he did it the old fashioned way...he walked the district and knocked on over 5,000 doors, met over 10,000 voters and won by a margin that stunned both his own party and the opposition. Senator LaRossa has gone on to a successful radio broadcast career, political consultant and entrepreneur. He is the co-host of the Conservative Commando radio program along with Rick Trader and has interviewed major political figures from across the nation.
THIS FRIDAY 11th 7PM

I love you, Rick and I love Sarah, too!! Was very upset with this until I watched the video...your body language and voice showed you did not mean to snub Sarah in ANY way. Thank you for not destroying your reputation so early in the game. These kind of character "exposes" mean a lot to voters, but it also demonstrates how the media can easily ask a question and then warp a candidate's response into something VERY unintentional, as was obviously done here.

Palin has been sprayed by bullets everyday while helping to facilitate the greatest republican victory in years, while worthless others in our party have stayed back as to not get their hands dirty. Palin will leave all these idiots in the dust when she starts campaigning. Why is it that the person with the biggest cajones in our party is a woman???
He's so jealous of Palin he can barely contain himself. I used to like this guy but now he just as worthless as the rest of the republican establishment. GO SARAH!
The reality of the situation seems to be two-fold. Both Santorum and Cupp are being used by Politico to foster yet another feigned controversy surrounding Sarah Palin. Santorum, while he may not have purposely gone out of his way to slam Governor Palin, the "She opted for money" and "all these kids" responses smack of an unconcious derision that does not speak well of a former US Senator.
I had to watch this twice. Didn't see anything wrong with it the first time, read the comments, and still didn't see anything wrong with it the second time. Sure seems to be a lot of folks assuming Santorum is 'meaning' things. It's time we all start thinking like Ben Franklin - we either all hang together, or we'll hang separately...
He's not being unfairly portrayed. Let's get real people. As much as I don't want to say this, Politico got this right.
The left historically has a fassion for twisting Rick's words. This is only the beginning
The Right Scoop is right!!
Right ON Brothers!!
'Ol Andy at Politico is just trying to "Bait Conservatives".
You are not a master baiter yet Andy! Keep trying.
LEFTIES are running scared
It is comical to watch
PS: Politico is such a disappointing Net-venture, by going hard LEFT.
BTW check out politicos Andy Barr below:

Maybe someone told ol' Andy chicks in DC are hot for lefty dweeb reporters...
(it's always nice to put a "face" with the drivel you read)
He really stepped in it. He's the first to feel how hard it is to run against Palin. As she begins to pick up momentum look for a lot of these type of slip ups from the boys club to happen.
I have watched the entire interview and the rest is not much better. He is an arrogant man. If he says what I think he is planning on saying at cpac he better get ready to run afterward and I don't mean for president.
I love Palin !
Palin drives Lefties and liberals so crazy they actually eat their own poo and die.
'Rest in Peace' you lefties at Politico.
C'mon TRS. I liked Rick also but really, what would you or I have said in the same situation. "She's in demand she has to pick and choose, I like her stances on Egypt, choosing life, ObamaCare, big gov't, cutting the budget. Sarah Palin is in a position to make choices and for the 3-4 year in a row she has decided to not go to CPAC. She is obviously a conservative - this is no big deal." END OF STORY.
What is this crap with his dismissive hand gestures and looking away? Rick, we are NOT stupid; we are done with this type of machine politics CRAP.
My GOD - Lord oh Lord is there one freaking establishment MAN who will MAN up and support SARAH PALIN in any FREAKING way?!?! So Far - no.
Agreed. Something happened to Santorum along the way. He used to be a solid christian conservative. Maybe the office of senator gave him a big head and now he's part of the political elite. At any rate I expected better from him and he's slowly losing me as a supporter.
Sorry, this is the genial stab in the back Santorum is so good at. I have seen him do it before with other people.
He got in the message that she is overwhelmed with her big family, her many financial opportunities, and doesn't have time for CPAC.
Oh, and she's way up there in Alaska, where she can't be connected with what's going on.
Very cleverly done, but a slam nonetheless.
Typical Leftwing-nut libratard progressive dumb-O-cRAT trying to throw mud on Sarah Palin with another republican.
Watch.
This WILL happen more often the closer we get to 2012.
Sarah Palin SCARES the we-we out of the left.
They KNOW she IS ELECTABLE and can, and will beat Barry by HUGE margins if she runs.
So they MUST destroy her in ANY way possible.
Just say'n.
Um, is it just me, or is there something really wrong with SE's new hairstyle and the thick framed glasses?! I'm not a fashionista, but it's distracting in an unflattering way. I wish more talking heads could be like Imus, just roll out of bed and do the show without getting all dolled up.
I don't like the way he said "all these kids". For such a big promoter of family values, Mr. Santorum needs to be extremely careful with how he refers to family issues, to avoid anything even hinting at disparaging motherhood, parenthood, or the family in general.
Somebody at Politico paid for an Insider Extreme subscription since only members get to see S.E. Cupp's new TV show.
Snarktorum was outta line and Cupp called him on it.
Anyone looking to win the Repub 2012 nomination will have to either side with BigMamaGrizzly or somehow attempt to take her down.
Rick doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hades of doing either one - he's wasting his time and money even considering a run.
Calln, you need to watch the cut. It seems obvious to me that Santorum is posturing for a presidential run. Sooner or later those Republicans running are going to have to address Palin. I think this is Santorums first shot.
I'm originally from Pennsylvania so I speak from experience when it comes to Santorum. I used to like Santorum, but ever since he went out of his way to support Arlen Specter (back when he was a Republican) I have lost a lot of respect for him. This interview makes my view of Santorum even less. That was a low blow and an unfair shot at Governor Palin. Shame on him!
Do not whitewash this... he did not have to make some comment relating it to MONEY when he did not know.....
does Sarah Palin have to take out a full page ad in the New York Times before people will realize why she is not going to CPAC?
The Iron Dog Race Banquet and Drawing for starting times is on the same day as CPAC. She is naturally going to be at the Banquet with her husband, Todd Palin, 5-time winner of the Iron Dog Race.
This reason was posted on the most visible Sarah Palin web site..... conservatives4palin.com ....back on Feb. 3rd.... here is link for all the lazy people, including Rick's interns, so they can figure it out themselves.

There is no doubt about it. That was a slam and uncalled for. He was saying "Get back in the kitchen where you belong Sarah"
no sarcasm implied. Rick took a dig at Sarah in an undignified way. He owes her an apology.
We disagree. Perhaps it is because we are different people.
Our life experiences likely color our view of this exchange. My perspective is that of a professional woman with four children.
