In 2006 it was a horrible election year, and, you know, I lost. But I lost because I continued to be a constant conservative, and the last six years I was someone who was a national figure in the sense that I was the third ranking Republican in leadership and I had just run President Bush's campaign in Pennsylvania.
Rick SantorumThis is common sense. This is nature, and what we're trying to do is defy nature because a certain group of people want to be affirmed by society.
Rick SantorumI believe the earth gets warmer, and I also believe the earth gets cooler, and I think history points out that it does that and that the idea that man through the production of CO2 which is a trace gas in the atmosphere and the manmade part of that trace gas is itself a trace gas is somehow responsible for climate change is, I think, just patently absurd when you consider all of the other factors.
Rick SantorumMy mom was a working woman. She made more money than my dad. Both my parents worked. And this was in the '60s.
Rick SantorumWeโve seen with this president, experience matters. When that phone call comes at three oโclock in the morning, I will be up and ready for the call because I will know whatโs going on in the world around us.
Rick SantorumYeah, remember, under the Bush administration, welfare โ I mean, excuse me, poverty among African Americans and among single unmarried women, poverty was at the lowest rate ever in the history of this country. So Obamaโs policies are not working, Bush polices worked! For long a time as a matter of fact.
