I missed this part of the debate and the video cuts off. Did Santorum of all people not have an opportunity to address the question? Seriously?
ReplyDeleteNothing could be more profound and truthful than Newt's opening salvo. I still think Newt would make a fascinating president. He's matured and has true understanding of what is at stake and articulates it brilliantly.
ReplyDeleteChris: If you go to the full speech and skip ahead to the 42 minute mark you'll hear the whole thing. By the time it got to Santorum the question had changed and he gave a good answer about the breakdown of the family.

That was a good answer, but the fact that he had to go third on a question about contraception which he's been beat over the head with seems a little biased. By the time he got to answer, Newt and Romney had made most of the points he likely would have and he was left with a question that didn't really have to do with what he'd been beaten up on. His answer to it was fine, and his final line (About how he holds his beliefs private but Obama mandates his) was probably one of the most important of the night. Too bad he had to make it while they were already cutting to Ron Paul's answer.

ReplyDeleteLiberty goes both ways. The government is not our daddy!!!! Women stand up! Men, stand up for women! Do you believe that women are equal to men and have individual choices given to them by the US Constitution? Then support this petition and tell local, state, and federal leaders that women don’t need a governmental daddy, they need health rights! We must protect health rights for every American citizen! If you sign, tell your friends to sign too. This is a very serious matter, as you very well know. I know you are busy but please sign one of them and show the radicals in this country they don’t have the power: http://www.change.org/petitions/whos-your-daddy-not-the-government-we-dont-need-fetus-personhood-legislation
