Rick Santorum's New Hampshire Debate Highlights

[areyouexperienced03]

Ron Paul for Grandpa of the U.S. NOT president. People always jump on the Ron Paul bandwagon EVERY time he tries to run for president which is never going to happen for him. He has an absurdly liberal approach to foreign policy and we would be seen as a timid scared nation subject to frequent terrorist attacks and god knows what other attacks with Paul controlling our armed forces. Act like we are America RON instead of being a coward and just saying what people want to hear about ending wars

[stigger888]

At 1:00 did he really just refer to himself in the 3rd person?  Wow

[RATIONALMIND001]

A government "by the people for the people" would only do what the people wanted. Santorums government would do what Santorum wanted! Worse still is that it would believe it was sanctioned by God, a conceptual entity that man cannot actually validate. Santorum is a mirror image of a fundamental Muslim, just a different flavor of the same nutty ice cream. Romney, Gingrich and Santorum are unelectable! America needs rational government that can justify, substantiate and validate what it thinks.

[streetz23]

you can't talk about the Constitution and support unconstitutional warfare. it just doesn't work that way.

[KnightxxArrow]

"The job of the United States military is to protect and defend the people of this country, NOT for social experimentation!"

-love that!

[TheDonman150]

Vote Ron Paul!!!! People need to RESEARCH all the delegates. Then DECIDE!!!

[ZmasterM]

*Rick Santorum 2012*

[justinrudolph100]

"the military is not a place for social experimentation" Uh, sexual orientation is different than partacking in sexual activities you dumb ass.

[MrJustinLyons]

This music and strategically selected out-of-context quotes TOTALLY make me hate him less!

[11houdinni]

do you really need the dramatic music in the back ground!!!!!who are you targeting, the smart or the emotional!!!

[WebsterA]

Anyone notice the videoclips are ALL cut short?

You feel the need for extensive editing?

You feel the Real-American background music might subliminally persuade some half-listening voters?

[damionrug1]

rick santorum for president.

[demonxthedk]

@damionrug1 Ya...never....

[Cytacon]

The guy is a complete fraud. I shudder to think how much worse America would be if that lunatic was president.

[matt17carloz]

RON PAUL 2012!!!!! make it happen people. volunteer. do home phoning. SPREAD THE WORD. HELP OTHERS WAKE UP

[hmongak]

i dont get this guy. he is pro-life but he is against contraceptive. is he implying that its on the same stage as abortion?

[SuzNews]

@hmongak Many birth control methods are abortifacients, such as the pill and the IUD - that is, they allow conception and then kill the fertilized egg. That is chemical abortion mislabeled by pharmacies as "contraception".

[CAPtoROTC]

@hmongak I believe that his stance is more that he is against the government providing contraceptives, which is at the expense of the people. Contraceptives are a commercial product that can be easily bought by citizens, the government shouldn't be providing them. It is a waste of tax money.

[hmongak]

@CAPtoROTC got it. he should really elaborate more on his stance against government spending money on contraception than just saying he is against contraceptives.

[someonetookjmmb]

Ron Paul 2012. Its going to happen.

[jboles633]

Ron Paul has been in Washington over 30 years, speaking out about the same issues and standing firm. You want to know why it hasn't made a difference? It's because they have tried to hush him and keep the media from covering his ideas and trying to make him look "crazy". It's not true. The people who profit off of you living in fear don't want you to not be afraid. Look at his plan to cut 1 trillion dollars. Look at his plan to keep Medicare for our seniors.

[blusiryn]

I can't take the cheesy music...

[tavogp]

faith cut taxes for the rich faith cut more taxes for the rich faith take gays out of the military faith and jesus that what i got from him

[trillionaire619]

VOTE RON PAUL IN 2012!!!!!!!

[jbiddleston]

A heady, frothy mix of deceit and hate. And I love the music! Cool.

[TraditionalistThomas]

@jbiddleston Why do democrats call republicans hateful? Riiight.

[jbiddleston]

@TraditionalistThomas Hi Pal. I am not a Democrat. I just watched Santorum in the debates, and all he seemed to spew was hate of other countries, gays, muslims etc etc.

... It kind of made me feel a little sick.

I dont like people campaigning on these issues alone, its like they are trying to pin the blame of societies ills on minorities. I am a Christian, but I dont force my views on others.

I would like a Republican who campaigns on conservative values, and who I can trust.

[LLetter82]

Santorum for president of Israel 2012!!

[theamazingnerd]

This guys nose is so tiny, his voice is so damn nasely, someone needs to grab his face and pull his nostrils apart.

[1941pearl]

@Iphonechic Here Here !!! ;-)

[1sniper1wolf1]

And it it'unt gettin' better

[nyyphi13]

i absolutely love that last clip. i've been with you since the beginning rick, you're easily one of the most intelligent candidates.

[arlichar11]

this guy is creepy... his speech about the terrorists are jealous of our freedom and oyr wealth..just lets me know hes clueless...hes the kinda guy who gets angry and wont listen to rational thinking..very scary.

[meursalt]

Santorum claims to have taken bullets over the abortion incident. Funny this never made the news. When I hear "bullets" and "abortion" in the same breath, I usually think of clinic staff and doctors taking bullets from the sort of people that vote for Santorum.

Let's tone down the hyperbolic rhetoric, Republicans. You only make yourselves look bad.

[Riceqween01]

@panish56

Actually, a Marxist is a person who believes in the equal distribution of wealth. Not that I expect you to know that. And Obama is not a socialist, he just thinks that we should help out people not as fortunate, you greedy heartless idiot.

[Conservative7979]

Santorum 2012

[lucasboden]

I think we should DRAFT pro-war pro-torture candidates who have not served in the military yet want to start more wars.

[beh5140]

Hands down should be our next president. The best thing for America

[Riceqween01]

@metgo123456

Better a Marxist than a greedy idiot

[mr300ism]

@Riceqween01=BITCH

[Panish56]

@Riceqween01 A marxist is a greedy idiot. Those who run Communist countries are the greediest of all. And so you admit Obama is a Marxist? Really he's a socialist but the real idiot here is you.

[metgo123456]

Fair share? 50% of people don't even pay taxes. The rich are the ones paying almost all the taxes. If you want things to be fair let's go to a fair tax or a flat tax, that's right, you libs don't support that because it takes away your class warfare bs.

Obama increased the budget by a trillion dollars and if the republicans want to cut 100 billion they are heartless. You liberals need to wake up and see reality.

[metgo123456]

You ignorant Marxist liberals can't argue issues so you have to resort to calling santorum a nut. What's not to like about his policies? He believes in a limited constitutional government and he has strong moral beliefs.

[wgastrove]

@metgo123456

"Ignorant Marxist Liberals" not quite. More like "greedy heartless republicans" If Republicans want to balance our wallet like a check book, they need to make sacrifices too, such as their Bush Tax Cuts and paying their fair share of their taxes. Balancing the budget on the children, women, and our nation's most vulnerable people is not going to save our country.

[lucasboden]

@metgo123456 - He does not believe nor support a limited government.  He wants preemptive wars with Iran and Lybia. What is worse than a big government liberal? A big government war-mongering conservative who uses the term Christian Values to start wars.

[TheAlphaGeeks]

@metgo123456 The problem with him is that 1st) our founding fathers didn't want less Government, they wanted more (after Shay's Rebellion the Articles of Confederation didn't cut it.), and 2nd, "strong morals" doesn't equal "correct morals"; comparing Homosexuality to Polygamy is absolutely nutty. Furthermore, calling all liberals "Marxists" shows you're living in the 1960s. Face it dude, the Red Scare is over, and so is the war on Communism. Still think liberals can't argue?

[RecBookHero]

@TheAlphaGeeks The founding fathers faced a very different situation, comparing their want for more government and the want for more government now is a non sequitor. And no, it is not nutty. why should their lusts be recognized by the state and not the poligamists? Where is the line drawn?

[TheAlphaGeeks]

@RecBookHero The person I responded to was talking about "limited constitutional government." I responded this way because "limited constitutional government" was not what our fore-fathers wanted. As for the line, I never said that polygamists shouldn't be recognized while homosexuals should - the point is that polygamy is much different then homosexuality. For example, the majority of Polygamist relations don't involve homosexual actions at all! Why should there be a line?

[slacker372]

@TheAlphaGeeks wait... on what basis can you possibly distinguish polygamy and homosexuality, if your standard of judgement is the way you were born (which i'm making the assumption it is, i apologize if i'm wrong) then there is zero distinction between the two, and thats by your standard. Second though the red scare is over marxism is still a valid concern because there never has been a successful government based on that ideology (china claims that basis but that isn't how they function)

[TheAlphaGeeks]

@slacker372 Santorum is under the impression that Polygamy and Homosexuality are inherently linked and this is not true. How can one compare a relationship between two people to a relationship between three? Check my math but that doesn't add up. Not that I have any problem with polygamists, but why would anyone compare the two as if they are the exact same thing? The point about Marxism is that he was calling liberals "Marxist." That is ludicrous and extremely biased thinking.

[slacker372]

@TheAlphaGeeks Moreover to address your first point, you're actually right, they did change their mind and decide they wanted a stronger central government.... but then they got it, thats why we have the Constitution rather than the Articles of Confederation. Since then we have expanded government again and again and again, far beyond what they believed was necessary, and because their standard of "more" is less than what we currently have.... so technically that would mean they support less

[TheAlphaGeeks]

@slacker372 The person I responded to was talking about "limited constitutional government." I responded this way because the fore-fathers didn't want "limited constitutional government." And neither should we.

[Alexxx2292]

@metgo123456 You are obviously misinformed. Try living in PA with him as your senator and you will soon see the problems with him.

[TheLolQuestionMark]

@metgo123456 you are a joke. why don't you stop listening to the news and listen to the man him self. He says that he is quote, "big government". He has voted/supported bills that total up to over $2,000,000,000 and he voted to raise the debt ceiling 6 times! Wake up man. Start taking your future seriously.

[slacker372]

@TheLolQuestionMark umm... so has essentially every other senator and congressmen, moreover he served 16 years in office and that averages 125 million a year, which actually seems very low, did you mean 2 bil or 2 tril? You wrote 2 bil. Anyway that aside you cant really peg the debt ceiling on him like that, do you want him to hold out like people did this past summer? The entire time regardless he's been working on cutting the budget over all, the ceiling is only a temporary fix in his mind

[slash65]

@metgo123456 Strong moral beliefs? He chooses the 1% over the 99%. How is that having strong moral beliefs?

[slacker372]

@slash65 the top tax bracket is the actually 10% not 1, so just to straighten it out its 90% vs 10%, more over they're not favored they actually discriminated against, we say its wrong for black people and women to make 70 cents or so for every 1 dollar a white male makes, but the same doesn't apply to the top 10% who get to keep 60 cents or so for every dollar the rest of us get to keep? doesn't seem fair to me. You do the work, you get the money you have coming to you, thats fair right?

[gabehampton]

@metgo123456 Santorum is a FAKE Christian who spreads HATRED for Gay people while claiming he is for EQUAL RIGHTS and that Jesus was for Equal Rights. Of course, Jesus was for Equal Rights, but Rick Santorum really isn't. He's a SCUM BAG. He also says he wants to CHANGE the constitution and make ALL laws reflect his narrow Christian Beliefs. And he thinks it's alright to BAN CONTRACEPTIVES. He is a scary individual.

[Thezillionth]

@metgo123456 Go to school.

[jasongascoigne]

this guy is a comeplete religious nut job he makes god loving people look bad with his double standards. hes the most smug person i think i have ever seen. and he was not even slightly specific about any goals which is the problem. as ron paul said having a 5% goal is good it gives you a way to measure your performance the problem with our system is there aren't any specific goals being set. everyone is vague about their goals and spends most of their time dissing the other party. except dr paul

[metgo123456]

Santorum is a leading voice for conservatives. Any conservative that isn't sure who to back in this primary really need to look into this man's record. He is a very solid conservative.

[lucasboden]

@metgo123456 - A solid fiscal conservative cannot support new wars on Lybia and Iran.  There is nothing fiscally conservative about pro-war candidates.

[SyringeCycle]

Im from Pennsylvania and i can tell you no one likes this clown. You don't have a chance in hell of winning.

[mcap52]

I will support any politician that tells the TRUTH...... that America is broke, we owe close to 100 trillion including unfunded liabilities, and we owe 600 trillion out of the 1.5 quadrillion in derivatives.

THAT is what I want to hear, not the same old tired cheer-leading.
