Rick Santorum says that Talking Points Memo was the first to take a policy disagreement and smear it into something he didn’t say. They accused him of saying that John McCain doesn’t understand how torture works, when that’s not what he said at all. He was referring to John McCain saying that enhanced interrogations didn’t lead to getting Osama bin Laden, and he was saying that McCain doesn’t understand how enhanced interrogations worked because it did get us information that did lead to the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Furthermore, Santorum doesn’t even believe that enhanced interrogations are torture which just shows how deceptive TPM really is:

McCain may be a decorated war veteran and a survivor but like John Murtha, he can be corrupted too. I believe that McCain is a progressive and although he has a great history, it's his beliefs of today that I question. Santorum had a right to question McCains' belief because McCain isn't perfect and has been in politics much too long to be trusted.

They're both Progressives and they're simply calling each other out like pro-wrestlers do.  Then, they'll tussle with each other a little just as pro-wrestliers do...but it's already been decided what the outcome is.  Why?  Because there are too many people that buy into the show and cheer on.

Alex Jones isn't 100% right about everything, but he was absolutely correct when he said in the movie "Waking Life."

"...two sides of the same coin.  Slavery Incorporated."

I'm talking about the "enhanced interrogation" debate specifically.  Why on Earth everyone in the media is going apesnot over whether or not we should bring back "enhance interrogation."  This debate just so happens to come after this "Bin Laden raid."  He makes it illegal to make himself look like he's making good and then this comes along and it'll only be a matter of time before he decides "Well...they've got a point.  I wouldn't have gotten Bin Laden without these techniques."  Then it won't ever be talked about again...even though it's surely been abused before and will continue to be abused after it's brought back.

I couldn't care less if someone accidentally misspoke about Santorum because he smears himself anyway by being the very epitome of everything that's wrong with the Rs.

That being said, I'll be real surprised if this whole discussion about "enhanced interrogations," isn't a long and drawn out attempt for Obama to have ground for breaking yet another one of his promises...then I'll sure as heck be surprised.

  I don't like or  trust Santorum . He's a loser Former Senator and who also supported the traitor Arlen Specter . Why Levin likes him is discouraging .

 1. McCain has access to records that Santorum will never have access to.

2. Santorum never served on any military or intelligence committees and he has the audacity to tell McCain he doesn't know what he's talking about....LOL - I love how these guys actually think they know something.
