Santorum vs. Tea Party - Rick Santorum's "Real Concerns" About The Tea Party

WHOA!!! That's what takes him down! That clip in an ad...

"I've got some real concerns about this movement in the Republican party, the Tea Party movement, to sort of re-fashion conservatism. And, um, I will vocally and publicly oppose it and do my best to correct the record."

BAM. Santorum is done. Time to make a quick "serial hypocrisy" type web ad, let the media give it free air time, and move on to Romney, Huntsman, and Gingrich.

He might as well just come out and say that he doesn't trust us to take care of ourselves...that used to be one of the main conservative talking points used against liberals. They certainly have changed, and Reagan and Goldwater must be rolling over in their graves.
 
Idiot teocons have been fooled into thinking that the person who says he hates mooslums the most is the most conservative.
 
with that he completely screwed up the anti-Romney coalition he was trying to build. Seems like very big headline-type news to me.

Good luck, Frothy. You're going to need it.
 
These attack ads write themselves, my god...
I really hope we see some soon, from any candidate.
Santorum is just begging to be crushed.
 
Does he not realize that most of his votes in Iowa came from people who identify as Tea Party supporters? Go look at the entrance polls.

This needs to be in a national ad, and it really needs to be pushed in SC.

I tried to post the table but it blew up. He got 30% of the strongly support tea party vote, and 27% of the somewhat support tea party vote, the best of any candidate.

Well, you know they won't come from Romney... He likes having Santorum as a blocker. Gingrich will only go after Romney. Huntsman may try, but I think he wants to take out Paul.

I think we're going to have to do this.

This should be an easy quick web ad to create by either RevPac or the campaign itself. It won't take much work or money. Just get the ad, and the promotion will work itself.
 
Can somebody clip out the piece of that video from :30 to :47 where he's railing on the tea party, and repost it to YouTube as:

"Santorum Thanks Tea Party for Massive Iowa Support"
 
Perry has the most to gain to run an ad in NH against Santorum. He probably at very least wants to beat Santorum in NH going into SC so he can try to show he is the anti Romney there.

Exactly.

Santorum looks like a sctrict, Pentecostal conservative dad who wants to run the country like he does his family. I don't have anything against what he does with family, that's his right. But legislating sub/cultural morality is very dangerous. Even if it was a moral framework in which I agree with, I would not support someone who want to force others to do so.

He's right about earmarks there. His remarks about the civil rights act and libertarians will do nothing but win him GOP support. Not the best attack clip (although it contains some good snippets.)

Agreed, but there's 17 seconds of pure gold in there, from :30 to :47.
