Rick Santorum is a person that does not know or care about truth. Although he is one I can no longer watch- what I have seen of him shows he tells terrible lies about health care and about health care issues and use in other countries. He has no truth in him and when cornered his campaign replies, "Rick just says what he thinks in his heart." and even that "it may not be true, but he says what is in his heart." Number one- that sound like an evil heart. Number two- he is doing it for political gain (telling stories), thus his politics are that of lies and not truth. We have had enough lies/liars in Washington.
He has also shows that he will not believe in his own policies- that we need honesty in Washington; that the thing the Tea Party was named for, no taxation without representation only matters when he says it matters. For instance, he says in order for Puerto Rico to become a state, they must follow all federal laws such as English being primary language??? (Not a law that I know of) and yet he as well as other entrenched Washington politicians deny the right to vote, the right to representation to Washington D.C. Yet citizens of Washington D.C. pay all the same federal taxes the rest of the country does. It would be interesting to see how he and his fellow congressmen would all cry foul (like a bunch of spoiled children) if their own states-the places they live off and on- could not vote. Of course it would severely impact the hold the Republican party has in Washington as Washington D.C. is largely Democrats... hmmmm...
Again I say, Santorum has no honor! His lies are never cleared up by him as he hides behind his supporters and campaign staff to cover with the "he speaks from his heart" excuse. Yet if so- if he has this magnificent heart-why does he refuse to give other Americans rights that he himself would never do without, even when they have done more for that right than he has.
One of the claims he has made or built his campaign on is that charity should be handled by individuals and churches as he states is in the bible.... that Americans can take care of their poor and needy without government programs. Yet when an investigation is done, he himself pays a mere 1% to charity! Yet he has more and makes more than the multitudes of Americans that contribute more like 10% or more. Romney was found to contribute a little more than 13% to charity and Obama (without making any issue or looking for acclaim-again as IS stated in the bible) contributes 14%. Yep- Obama pays the highest percentage to charity! Bet that surprised a lot of "good" Christians.
We need truth and honor! Romney is an honorable man, but he is totally out of touch with average Americans. Santorum is not trustworthy at all... and comes across lacking facts and information that should be well known to a presidential candidate. We cannot let a man of no honor such as Santorum run our country!
For those of you that think Obama is also such a man, I point out that he has tried to cross the aisle with special meetings, by giving many concessions to the Republicans, and by being yet another Democrat president who is actually CUTTING the deficit! Our country has become stronger while spending less under his administration.
Yes, President Clinton, although not morally right, also cut the deficit significantly, improved world wide relations, and left with a huge surplus! Interesting is the fact that 8 of the 12 people who impeached him were no more moral than he was. Remember the one who had to admit that he had an affair with an intern, and fathered a child with her? Yet he claimed it was a "youthful indiscretion"--- but he was actually two years OLDER than Clinton at the time. This is not to show I approve of Clinton's morals, but to show that only one side of a coin is looked at by people who cannot let a Democratic President be shown to have done all the good that he did.
Clinton took a deficit that had tripled in the prior 12 years of Republican Presidents and cut it so that he actually handed off a surplus. Our nation is close to failing because of the huge deficit given us by a Republican President that like his dad was plagued by large bank and savings and loan scandals, that took us to war after war, and bought votes by giving Chinese money to his wealthy supporters. He left 7 trillion dollars debt, tried to sale American ports to other countries (countries that houses highjackers and privateers), and sold plus/minus 40% of our country to China.
Under Clinton our soldiers, without war, wounded Bin Laded and came within 50 years of killing him before they had to break off to rescue some of their own. Obama, without the need of mass destruction, had Bin Laden killed. Gain showing the difference is Clinton and Obama thought of helping America rather than that extreme large waste by the Republicans. Do not get me wrong, every military person sent over should have received the medal of honor- it is only the Republicans and their waste of tax money to help very wealthy companies and friends that was wrong.
Curing the State of the Union Address it was said that Obama had cut the 7 trillion deficit to 5 trillion. Yet the Republican response to that was that he was not bringing it down fast enough. Ironically, in that same Republican response, Mitch Daniels actually acknowledged that Obama was not at fault for the huge deficit, that he inherited it when he took office.
At 62 years old and only two times not voting for a Republican president, I must state that is may not be coming down fast enough, but only TWO DEMOCRATIC presidents have brought it down and have NOT caused a huge increase.
I do not want to be Chinese and that is why I see only good in provided,needed U.S. services and not told (for I am sure there is waste even now under Obama) that we need to wast more of what we have for only the 1% or even 5% - people that really do not represent true Americans. Yes, Republicans and those that have great but false stars in their eyes are only looking down on true Americans.
