Rick Santorum and Ed Schultz go head-to-head

[itsjustgigi]

Santorum is spot on. I think Ed likes him inspite of himself. You go Santorum...and I'm praying you'll be our next president!

[x89codered89x]

It's hilarious watching Ed talk about politics. No one left winger ever has backbone to their speech, but Ed does. I love it.

[x89codered89x]

This guy is great!

Waaaa....I don't wanna pay taxes. Waaa...I don't wanna support the military. Waaa...I want more profits so I'm sending jobs to Mexico. Waaa...The Mexican drug lords torched my business. Waaa...I want the US military to help me. Waaa...Why should I pay for security when the lowly American taxpayer should do it? (After all...I'm a "job creator").

And the next time a freighter gets hijacked....DON'T call Seal Team 6.

Pay for your own damned security.

[offxbyxone]

.....Santorum may not be my candidate of choice....but he definitely held his own here....

[oceans19711]

schultz won this debate...santorum could not back up the basic question which is tax cuts on the wealthy don't work...never have....clinton raised taxes on the rich and it created jobs...under reagan and bush, the tax cuts did not work...

[rubberducky113]

@oceans19711 "tax cuts on the wealthy don't work" isn't a question. It's a statement, and a very vague one at that.

[iRickder]

Yo Ed, there's a thing called inflation. When the dollar is devalued, the middle class is hurt the most and the gap between the rich and poor grows. Get rid of the federal reserve.

[goduke282]

Ed is such an ass! Does he really believe businesses don't want to grow,expand or create jobs???

If businesses motive is profit, than can any liberal tell me why job creators don't want to create jobs as Ed suggests. Perhaps it's because of EXACTLY what Rick Santorum was saying.....as well as Dodd-frank which I guess the left conveniently forgets about.

[t0paggie]

Ed Schultz loses again. Has he EVER won a debate?

[Biggerbyte]

Hey Ed.. You have exactly $250,000.00 to build your new home, but you need to be able to afford the labor cost. You set aside an additional 10,000.00 for the labor just before the taxes and fees get raised an additional $10,000.00 on you and leave you with the inability to hire a crew to build your home. What do you do? You can't hire if you have no money to hire with. What part of that don't you understand???

[bdbelknap]

Santorum is sooo frothy

[metalkev00]

22,000,000 jobs created in the Clinton years (with a Republican Congress)

[metalkev00]

I love how Democrats always mention "tax-cuts for the wealthy" but they never mention how Republicans are talking about lowering rates and CLOSING LOOPHOLES to simplify the 70,000+ PAGE IRS tax-code. Good luck starting a business (i.e. "jobs") under THIS President.

[bdavis]

I don't like Rick Santorum at all - but damn, Ed interrupted him damn near every time he spoke... actually EVERY TIME.

[the1tigglet]

They have the means but won't spend the money on creating jobs even though they are getting taxcut after taxcut over and over again. The rethuglicans know they can use fear tactics on the Elderly who already hate modern times or change to keep the rich richer by convincing them that it's okay to be rich and never be taxed by spreading lies about how much the minorities and the illegals are paying or by spreading lies about how many jobs the rich will in fact create with certain bills.

[Linternauter]

WELL DONE TO ED SCHULZT WELL DONE!!!

[socalvet]

Finally an interviewer speaking up for the working man and woman. It was good to see Mr. Shultz point out exactly what the positions of santorum are. He is for the wealty, for the factory owner but not the worker. Santorum wants to give employers "sweetheart deals" including low wages and no law suits possible. In other words, treat the workers like animals. Great Santorum, now we know EXACTLY what you stand for. The wealthy. Thank you. NEXT.

[xoxak888]

I don't think it was fair interview. Rick Santorum was in the middle of answering the question. I think the interview was set up to mock Republican presidential candidates. Just to make it clear, I voted for Obama. But, I think media must be fair and unbiased. It seems every media is party biased. It is sickening

[Hdtexan]

@ezekielthemack EXACTLY

[Linternauter]

@xoxak888 I hope you complain as much about fox news. HOWEVER, Ed Schultz BROUGHT UP FACTS!!! Not made up assertions as Rick Santorum did. He called out Santorum on innacurracies. So this is not being unfair or unbiased, it's correction erroneous assertions and misrepresentation of truths, a typical feature of republican politicians.

[xoxak888]

@Linternauter

To me, both parties are sick. Republicans' introduction of medicare D, Bush tax cut (esp Capital gain tax reduction). And Democrats' love affair with illegal aliens are equally sickening. Irony is that Democrats try so hard to get Hispanic vote by giving amnesty to illegal aliens, not knowing that such action make a lot of previous democratic voters turn away. It seems you are core Democrat. But, what do you think? Do U think illegal aliens have as much right as Americans?

[Linternauter]

@xoxak888 I live by a simple credo. My ancestors were once ILLEGALs too first of all. Second ofall I am more bothered by crime than illegal aliens wanting to better themselves here. Third of all, there really is enough money in the pot to provide adequate services to EVERYONE. But as long as we keep spending trillions on useless wars for the sake of oil companies that pay NO TAXES, protecting shipping routes for good companies that delocalise, we'll keep pointing the finger at illegals: FOR WHAT

[xoxak888]

@xoxak888

So you think US has enough money to do everything. I am quite curious about what you think about 2 issues regarding the illegal immigration. I live in California, a state with the most number of the illegal aliens in the nation. Would you answer me two questions about the illegal immigration. I am curious about how you think. There are :

1. Do illegal aliens have equal rights as US citizens?

2. Do illegal aliens deserve free educations and free medical care?
