Former Pennsylvania US Senator Rick Santorum spoke out this past weekend about the failures of past Republican leadership. Specifically, how they had failed conservatism, which then resulted in political defeat.
Addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, DC, Santorum said that the losses at the ballot box came because the leadership lost sight of, or were unwilling to implement conservative principles. He went on to say that it was “conservatives who failed conservatism and that failed America.”
In regards to the current financial situation and recurring bailouts:
Santorum says he tried to convince his friends in the Bush White House that using billions in taxpayer dollars to bail out Wall Street banks in hopes of saving the credit markets was the wrong thing to do, but they did not listen to him and instead “opened up a door that the next president is driving a bulldozer through.”
And the next several generations of Americans will be paying for it.
Congressman King's petition is great beginning to ObamaCare's repeal
July 2, 2010 - 2:08pm — Coalition CommentaryMonths after the worst piece of legislation in American history -- and the most costly piece of legislation estimated to cost upwards of $2.5 trillion -- was passed, the massive effort to repeal Obamacare is growing. Polls show that this highly unpopular piece of socialism is still opposed by the American people as much as it was during the year-long debate and votes in the Democrat-controlled Congress.
A solid majority of Americans want Obamacare repealed. Even the selfish corporations, which gave the final impetus to passing Obamacare by supporting it, are now realizing what a terrible pact with the devil they made to cut out special exemptions for themselves. They are dropping health care plans, increasing health care costs to their employees, and writing off huge expenses due to the imposition of Obamacare on their companies, etc.
