The Record Speaks--Why Santorum by Donna Garner

“Why Rick Santorum?”

by Donna Garner
1.18.12

We support Rick Santorum as our Republican candidate for many reasons, some of which are that he has integrity, is honest, and has a strong moral compass -- just the type of person we need in the White House – someone whose word we can trust -- to lead America back to its former role as the respected leader of the free world.

Along with his personal qualities, I like the fact that Rick Santorum has a strong, conservative record in Congress that demonstrates he had the knowledge, personal communication skills, and political wisdom to be able to work effectively as a member of Congress for 16 years.  

One of the best ways to analyze Rick Santorum’s voting record is to look at the Interest Group Ratings while he was in Congress. Please go to this link:  http://www.votesmart.org/candidate/evaluations/27054

SANTORUM’S PLAN TO CUT FEDERAL SPENDING

According to The Hill, 1.9.12,  Rick Santorum wants to cut federal spending by $5 Trillion over 5 years.

That is even more than the amount proposed by the House Budget Committee under conservative Paul Ryan --$1 Trillion over 5 years.

The  conservative House Republican Study Committee (RSC) has proposed $2.3 Trillion.

Rand Paul wants to cut $3 Trillion using the CBO's baseline as a comparison. 

Ron Paul has proposed a cut of $4.1 Trillion in 4 years.

To get to the $5 Trillion level of spending cuts in 5 years, Santorum wants the changes in Medicare proposed by Paul Ryan to be sped up; but the changes would only apply to retirees from 2022 onward.

NEWT

Newt Gingrich was a Congressman but exhibited such a lack of moral character that even Republican members who served with him have refused to support him for President.

ROMNEY AND PERRY

Mitt Romney and Rick Perry do not have a Congressional record because they have only worked at the state level as Governors. 

RON PAUL

Ron Paul certainly has no record of success in Congress.  According to non-partisan GovTrack.us ( http://www.govtrack.us/congress/person.xpd?id=400311 ), “Ronald Paul has sponsored 421 bills since Jan 7, 1997 of which 418 haven't made it out of committee and 1 were successfully enacted.” (This site appears to be quite current because it tracks bills filed as late as Oct. 20, 2011.)  

Since 1997 to the present time, Congressman Ron Paul has been able to build the required support for only one of his bills to pass.  Even worse, only three of his bills have even made it out of committee. This record demonstrates a startling lack of leadership on his part and reveals how little trust his fellow Congressmen have in him.  His record also explains why he has been nicknamed “Dr. No.”

SANTORUM VS. RON PAUL ON THE CONSTITUTION  

Please listen to the attached 4-minute interview with Glenn Beck in which Rick Santorum explains the differences between himself as someone who believes in the U. S. Constitution and Ron Paul who supports Libertarian beliefs.  

POSSIBLE CABINET PICKS BY RICK SANTORUM

Because Rick Santorum is a highly principled person with a well-defined moral compass, conservative voters could count on him to choose the same principled type of people to put around him in his cabinet and in his administration.  Just think how exciting it would be to have the following experienced experts to serve under President Santorum:

Michele Bachmann – Vice President or Department of Health and Human Services

Jim DeMint – Vice President or Office of Management and Budget

Mario Rubio – U. S. Trade Representative or U. S. Ambassador to the United Nations

Paul Ryan – Office of Management and Budget or Council of Economic Advisers

Rick Perry – Department of Agriculture

Herman Cain – Department of Labor or Department of the Treasury

John Bolton – Department of State, Department of Homeland Security, or U. S. Ambassador to the United Nations

John Ashcroft – Department of State or Department of Justice

Robert Scott (Texas Commissioner of Education) – Department of Education

Sarah Palin – Department of Energy, Department of the Interior, or Environmental Protection Agency

Mario Rubio – U. S. Trade Representative or U. S. Ambassador to the United Nations

Bobby Jindal – Department of Health and Human Services

Newt Gingrich – White House Press Secretary

Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul--Comparisons from Christian Perspective with God's answer to economic problems

Isaiah 65:2

I have stretched out My hands all day long to a rebellious people,
      Who walk in a way that is not good,
      According to their own thoughts;

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

---Here are some interviews to give you more food for though on this Presidential Primary--it's important you know as our future depends on how "we the people" vote...  May God help America.

Listen to internet radio with City On A Hill Radio on Blog Talk Radio

It is always good to set the stage--to put our minds in the right frame so that we can see things through the eyes from whom all blessings flow.  If you are serious about loving God and wanting the best for this nation then get ready and remember:

Hope at this point you will pray for wisdom from the God who can give it to you.

You will have to do research to properly compare so here are points and links to make you think:

Rick Santorum

• Pro-Life

• Defines Marriage as between man and woman

• Meets the test of the Founders when they said choose ye men that fear (respect) God

• Believes in the Constitution and Original Intent-

• Has been seen as for big government

Read and learn...

Mitt Romney

• Perceived as savvy and will know how to grow the economy

• Developed Romneycare-bankrupting state according to Mass State Treasurer Cahill

• More on developing Romneycare by Romney

• Allowed same-sex marriage in Massachusetts

Ron Paul

• Promotes freedom in almost everything--from marijuana to Iran getting nuke

• His stand on Iran is dangerous

• His stand on Israel is dangerous

• He has a problem with calling  homosexuality as sin

And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind.  For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. ³¹ But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.  Luke 12:29-31

Listen to David Parker who recounts what happened to his elementary school children--every parent should hear to understand what is before us...

Who do you dare trust --man vs God?  It should be elementary for the faith-filled and here in America--history is so rich in God's Providence--so the ball is in your court.  God has given you choices--whom shall ye follow?  Choose wisely so that the dog eat dog mentality will not prevail and God's ways reigns to bless us all.  By the way remember the example of one bad apple named Barney Frank--has almost led to worldwide economic destruction.  Please pray for wisdom from the one from whom all blessings flow.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

Rick Santorum and What Really Happened in Iowa The Pundits Are Missing...

It has been a very interesting view to watch unfold what we were told on an interview on Dec 7th would happen in Iowa.  We were told there would be a Rickaboom and that the one that has had to fight for any kind of media coverage--good or bad,would rise to the top.  Indeed the interview with Pastor Cary Gordon of Iowa with the Peacemakers Institute went counter to what was predicted in the mainstream media.  But they can't predict God's Providence.  It happened many times at the beginning of this nation in the fight against tyranny and we are under tyranny again.   Who could have predicted that Newt Gingrich would falter just before the Iowa Caucus? And who was hidden in the wings ready to be lifted up--it was the warrior for life--Rick Santorum.

We have watched Rick Santorum in the past fight for those who can not even vote-the unborn-with passion and with truth at his side and he never flinched.  We have watched Rick Santorum stand beside Arlen Specter and shake our head in wonder.  Many have said he is big government as after all he backed the prescription package but most Americans really do not know that rarely does a program save at a rate of 40% and this is one of those that does--finally something done right by big government (because it let choice in the picture).  That is the finding of Grace Marie Turner, Pres of a health care policy think tank--Galen Institute and she knows!

But many Iowans got a chance to talk to the candidates and Santorum did not shy away from them.  He stood above Romney who wants us to forget Obamacare will destroy our economy and has promoted same-sex marriage -a lifestyle that can kill body and soul.  He also stood out above Ron Paul who with all his talk against big-government will be dangerous for the lives of Americans and Israel with his Iran stance.  Many Iowans saw things that mattered to God matters to them.  So without a lot of money but with a lot of hard work they saw integrity and value in Rick Santorum. The mainstream media tore apart Michelle Bachmann in the early lead along with Rick Perry and Herman Cain and last but not least Newt but Santorum was not in their radar to destroy.

Romney with his money and Ron Paul with his machine should have left a Santorum in the dust but one thing they didn't figure was the hand of God--as truly it is a miracle who the mainstream are looking at now. 

Here is that amazing interview with Pastor Cary Gordon who fought with other Pastors and the Body of Christ rose up and said no more to three out of control Iowa Supreme Court Justices and they made a difference for their state.  Get in tune with God like they did and occupy until God comes--God's ways not man's...Shine the light for He has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind! 2nd Tim 1:7
