February 10, 2012

“I supported him last go around because I just think we need someone who understands the economy and business.

Connie Mack

Mitt Romney: Senator Santorum Grew Government; I Balanced the Budget Every Year as Governor
February 10, 2012

“[Sen. Santorum’s] a strong defender of earmarks. I oppose earmarks. I want to absolutely end earmarks. He grew government when he was in Washington by some 80%, and voted to raise the debt ceiling five different times –  and did so without looking for compensating cuts in the federal spending. I balanced the budget in my state for the four years that I was there, and put together a rainy day fund. So we have very differing views and a very different history, on earmarks, on spending and on borrowing.” – Mitt Romney

But secondly, I’ll look at my record and describe my record as governor. Some of those things get hidden over time, people forget but economically of course that we balanced the budget every year. We put in place a rainy day fund of about $2 billion.” – Mitt Romney

On Spending and Debt, Santorum Was Part of the Problem
February 10, 2012

“Senator Santorum now decries the obscene growth in federal spending and our national debt, but he was in Washington as this fiscal crisis grew – supporting billions in earmarks, repeatedly voting to raise the debt ceiling, and admitting that deficits no longer bothered him. Americans want a president who can offer solutions, not a lifelong politician who was part of the problem in the first place.” –Andrea Saul, Romney Campaign Spokesperson

February 9, 2012

“When I was governor of my state, the legislature passed a bill saying emergency contraception was going to be provided through Catholic hospitals and other institutions. I vetoed that bill.

A Question for Rick Santorum
February 9, 2012
 

Are These “Good” Earmarks Or “Bad” Earmarks?

Today, Senator Santorum Declined To Identify Any Earmarks He May Regret, Saying “There Are Good Earmarks And Bad Earmarks”:

Santorum: “There Are Good Earmarks And Bad Earmarks.” SANTORUM: “There are good earmarks and bad earmarks. There are things that the Congress stood and fought for on a lot of programs and the administration got involved. What happened was it was an abuse of the process. And when the abuse of the process became an issue, I stood up and said the process itself is not bad but the abuse is, and we need to stop it.” (Maggie Haberman, “Santorum Calls Out Romney For ‘Gotcha Politics,’ Defends ‘Good Earmarks,’” Politico, 2/9/12)
