TIME FOR NEWT TO DO THE HONORABLE THING

In today’s American Spectator, I discuss the dwindling fortunes of the Gingrich campaign and his opportunity to exit gracefully while saving the GOP from the electoral debacle that will ensue if Romney gets its presidential nomination:
About a week after his surprising victory in the South Carolina primary, Newt Gingrich did an interview with ABC News, […]

SANTORUM ON ROMNEYCARE AND FREEDOM

Here’s something to think about: If the economy improves enough for Obama to evade the issue, what will Romney run on? As Santorum explains in this video, he certainly can’t run against ObamaCare. Santorum correctly believes that ObamaCare is far more than an assault on health care. He believes it’s an assault on basic liberty. […]

DR. MILTON WOLF: OBAMACARE IS DEFINITELY WORTH GETTING ANGRY OVER

In a recent GOP debate Rick Santorum rather heatedly explained why giving Romney the nomination would be tantamount to surrendering the high ground on ObamaCare. The former Massachusetts governor responded thus: ‘First of all, it’s not worth getting angry about.’ In his latest column for the Washington Times, Dr. Milton Wolf begs to differ:
For the […]

IF NOT ROMNEY, WHO? SANTORUM PERHAPS?

Most of the Republicans who have, in primaries and caucuses, voted for Romney have done so not because they like him or his policies but because they believe he is the “most electable.” In other words, they want Obama out of the White House and they will vote for anyone who can evict him.
 Why do they […]

VIDEO: SANTORUM EXPLAINS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM FACING U.S. HEALTH CARE

Unreasonable expectations created by the progressive propaganda campaign to make Americans believe that health care, including life-saving drugs, should be free. Here’s the money quote from a speech he made today in Colorado:
People have no problem paying $900 for an iPad, but paying $900 for a drug they have a problem with … it keeps […]

RICK SANTORUM WAS RIGHT: ROMNEYCARE INCREASED FREE RIDING IN MASSACHUSETTS

During last week’s GOP debate, Santorum went after Romney on the ObamaCare prototype he enacted in Massachusetts. Among other things, he called Romney on his absurd claim that it fixed the “free rider” problem.
Media “fact checkers” backed Romney, but they were later forced to back down. In this podcast, Cato’s Michael Cannon explains how RomneyCare did, in fact, increase free […]

SANTORUM DISCUSSES HIS PART-D VOTE

In this clip Rick Santorum discusses, among other things, his support of the Medicare Part-D program. That is, of course, the prescription drug program he helped voted into law during the Bush years.
Conservatives have criticized him for this vote, but they forget that one of its most important components was the introduction of free market reforms to […]

AUDIO: MARK LEVIN EXPANDS ON SANTORUM’S INDICTMENT OF ROMNEYCARE

Levin discusses the exchange between Santorum and Romney on which I based yesterday’s American Spectator column. He points out, among other things, that Romney still defends the mandate he enacted in Massachusetts.
The problem here is not that it was unconstitutional, as is the ObamaCare mandate (states have the right to enact such laws whereas Congress does not), but that it was a monumental failure […]

ROMNEY EXPLAINS WHY HE CAN’T BEAT OBAMA

My column in today’s American Spectator discusses Mitt Romney’s lack of genuine convictions, and how Rick Santorum exposed that fatal flaw in last Thursday’s Republican debate: 
The most telling moment of the debate was [Romney’s] response to Rick Santorum’s eloquent explanation of ObamaCare’s importance to the GOP’s strategy in the general election and why giving Romney the nomination would […]

DEBATE VIDEO: SANTORUM HAMMERS ROMNEY ON MASSACHUSETTS MANDATE

Rick Santorum explains ObamaCare’s importance to the GOP’s strategy in the general election and why Romney can’t effectively make the case for repeal. Santorum pointed out that RomneyCare provided the blueprint for Obama’s plan and addeed:
Folks, we can’t give this issue away in this election. It is about fundamental freedom.
Giving the GOP presidential nomination to Romney will indeed amount to […]
