ROCKFORD, Ill. -- Rick Santorum's presidential campaign has been beset by the impression that he talks too much about things that are not central to the concerns of most voters, such as contraception, President Barack Obama's theology, and most recently, pornography.
On Monday morning, as Santorum kicked off a full day of campaigning in Illinois, where he trails Mitt Romney in the polls, Santorum gave critics of his messaging more ammunition.
"The issue in this race is not the economy," he said.
His statement was part of a longer monologue about why Obama's health care overhaul is a symbol of government overreach, and that Americans' freedoms are eroding.

(30,885 posts)...there isn't an "Obama campaign."
That's one golden moment. Maybe not as golden as Mitt talking about his football team-owning friends and his wife's multiple Cadillacs, but golden nonetheless.

(2,286 posts)And probing women for ultrasounds, telling doctors to lie about health conditions and risks, and forcing women to tell employer why she is using birth control is NOT?!??!?
But, what do women know. We would be so helpless without old, white men controlling our sex lives.

This is one sick puppy we are witnessing. I cannot believe so many GoOPers are falling for him.

Who knew they would develop group insanity over insurance reform.

(121 posts)...Rick seemes to come out with more stuff that just makes him seem crazier.
I bet he stomps his feet and throws things when noone's looking. (Or when he thinks noone's looking)
This guy clearly doesn't have it together.

(39,961 posts)Because it IS about the economy and WAS about the economy in 2010. Republicans got in and did everything BUT work on the economy, and in many cases, attempted to sabotage it to make Obama look bad. People don't have as short of memories as you think they do, and as a whole, the American people aren't nearly as religious as you seem to think they are, either!
