Did any of you watch Rick Santorum on Face the Nation? He espoused opposition to amniocentesis and, get this, states running public schools. I'm telling you, this guy is the Catholic version of an evangelical who wants to use religion to run government.

In recent weeks, Romney has portrayed himself as an uncompromising fiscal conservative and criticized Santorum for being a “strong defender” of federal earmarks.

But Senate lobbying records show that the Salt Lake City Olympics Committee under Romney spent $3.5 million employing five lobbying firms in addition to its own in-house lobbying shop. Among their goals: winning federal earmarks that included $60 million for "perimeter" security; $15.8 million for "international sporting competitions"; $3 million for an extension of a Salt Lake City light rail project; as well as millions more for communications equipment, sewer projects and other programs aimed at supporting the Olympics.

The overall federal cost of the 2002 Olympics has been estimated at about $1.5 billion, although Romney defenders say much of this was put in place before he took over the Olympics Committee in 1999. But Romney later touted his efforts in his book about the Winter Olympics, “Turnaround,” writing that he directed his chief Washington lobbyist “to bring in more federal funding than had ever been appropriated for any Olympics, summer or winter.”

And he made his success in doing so a selling point when he ran for governor of Massachusetts in 2002. “I was successful in organizing the Olympics, got record funds from the federal government," he said then.

Last week Santorum excorciated the US public education system by decrying the federal government's particpation in it. However, what I think many listeners failed to pick up on is how he also decryed state participation in it. Madonne! Isn't it one of the Republican's mantras that states should be free to govern themselves? I hope this comes up in tomorrow's debate.

After living in Michigan for 31 years, I simply must agree with Mitt. The trees are most definitely "the right height" and "I love cars." Wow, I never realized how hard a time Mitt has trying to be not rich.

Mitt Romney said that cutting spending slows growth in the economy -- the "sort of comment was sure to raise the eyebrows of fiscal conservatives in the GOP, who have long preached a message of fiscal restraint as a path to economic growth," NBC News reports.

Said Romney: "If you just cut, if all you're thinking about doing is cutting spending, as you cut spending you'll slow down the economy. So you have to, at the same time, create pro-growth tax policies."

A National Journal analysis of January's campaign-disclosure filings reveals that 25% of all the money raised by Super PACs came from just five donors.

"I was basically pro-choice all my life, until I ran for Congress," - Rick Santorum, 1995.

but for high income folks, we are going to cut back on that so we make sure the top 1% keeps paying, paying the current share they’re paying or more.

I would have turned off the TV by now if I weren't being paid to keep watching.

Newt calls Obama a baby-killer. Then Romney says there has never been in America an administration more opposed to religious freedom. Santorum seems to be arguing that teen sexuality requires us to argue against contraception.
