We need a candidate who's going to be a fighter for freedom. Who is going to get up and make that the central theme in this race because it is the central theme in this race. I don't care what the unemployment rate's going to be. Doesn't matter to me. My campaign doesn't hinge on unemployment rates and growth rates.
Rick SantorumWe can't nominate such a weak candidate. I'd love to be able to get one-on-one with Gov. Romney and expose the record that would be the weakest record we could possibly put up against Barack Obama.
Rick SantorumI don't want to go to a trade war, I want to beat China. I want to go to war with China and make America the most attractive place in the world to do business.
Rick SantorumObviously the first thing we need to do is repeal โObamacare.โ That's one entitlement that we can get rid of. And that's a couple trillion dollars in spending over the next 10 years.

Rick SantorumYou win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country, not someone whos just going to be a little different than the person in there. If youre going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk with what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate of the future.
