Santorum vs Obama Terrifies The Left
January 9, 2012
Liberals are an easy read
Mitt Romney may be concerned about Rick Santorum’s powerful showing in Iowa, but democrats are terrified.
Not since Sarah Palin scared the ever livin’ daylights out of them during her speech at the 2008 republican convention, have we seen the likes of the media campaign, mounted virtually overnight, to destroy Rick Santorum’s credibility, reputation, and family to boot.
Barring a re-nomination of John McCain, flip-floppin’, middle of the road Mitt has long been the DNC’s hope for 2012. And aside from Romney’s well documented history of convenient conservative epiphanies, intensified scrutiny of Romney’s dealings at Bain Capital seem to be portraying Romney more as a ruthless corporate raider than a job creating entrepreneur.
But there is nothing murky about Rick Santorum’s political positions or business ethics. What you see is what you get. And what voters would see in Rick Santorum vs Barack Obama has the left desperately scrambling for mud to sling.
With little to go after other than Santorum’s comments on retaining, though reforming the abuse of, congressional earmarks, Santorum is not an easy target, except for those willing to outright lie.
The case the distant left will try to build against Rick Santorum will be based upon Santorum’s Catholic Faith and his principled stands in favor of the inalienable right to life of every American – from conception to natural death – and his defense of the traditional family, the foundation of any successful society.
These beliefs, Obama’s water carriers in the media will scream, will result in Santorum’s establishing a Catholic “theocracy” in America should he win the White House. And who better to launch the first salvo than former journalist, turned hot-to-trot Obama groupie, Chris Matthews?
In an attempt to bait Santorum on the subject of states’ rights and his Faith, Santorum had recently been asked if the states had the right to ban certain forms of contraception. As we see in the first part of this clip, Santorum plainly tells Bill O’ Reilly that though under the constitution states would have that right, he would neither vote for or support states attempting to exercise the right.
Then we see what Matthews ridiculously attempts to twist Santorum’s words into

Defending Santorum is his former aide Robert Traynham, who unfortunately for leftist hopes to smear Santorum as a bigot and “homophobe”, is black and openly gay.
Matthews: “Let me tell you what he said – He’s said ‘My religion should dominate, should trump issues of the Constitution.…’ He was saying, ‘Bill O’Reilly, you and I are of the same religion, therefore we should deny a woman’s constitutional right to buy birth control or a male to buy birth control’. Isn’t that what he said? We just showed the tape”
Robert Traynham: “I don’t think he said that”. No one else will either, and it is easy to detect Matthews’ desperation in fabricating such an outrageous and easily proved lie.
The best hope for Barack Obama’s reelection is the republican nomination of Mitt Romney. The media will be right there depicting Romney, with some truth, as an opportunist who will say anything to be elected, and who’s past policies have indeed been very much in line with those of Obama.
Rick Santorum will represent a clear contrast to a president who’s incompetence and ideology have inflicted so much damage on the country.
The election will turn on the economy. Santorum vigorously opposed George Bush’s Wall Street TARP bailout, the various Obama bailouts and bogus Stimulus Package which have brought the nation to the brink of insolvency. During his years in Congress, Rick Santorum was consistently awarded the title “Friend of the Taxpayer” by the National Taxpayers Union. How many taxpayers view Barack Obama as a friend?
And the claim that “abortion rights” are a high priority among voters, was utterly dispelled in the mid-term elections. Republicans should welcome a contrast between Rick Santorum’s outspoken defense of the helpless unborn with Obama’s pro-abortion zealotry, defense of Planned Parenthood, and record of promoting and expanding abortion here, and throughout the world, at taxpayer expense.
No wonder poor Matthews is already beginning to go up the wall.
For all of their self-proclaimed intellectualism, liberals are an easy read. It’s not their lies that give them away, but who they lie about the most.
