Rick Santorum Santorum's answer on NDAA really surprised me since he was fine w all parts of Patriot Act

[redmod79]

complete pandering... romney got booed so he went the other way with it

Actually, if you listened carefully, Santorum did not oppose the indefinite detention part of the NDAA in total. It was unfortunate that Paul let Santorum try to co-opt the issue and make it look like he too opposed the NDAA, when he was only opposing the "no lawyer/trial" part!

True, but don't undersell the importance of access to counsel and the legal process. It's not just a technical argument on Santorum's part, it's a very important point.

The NDAA bill is ten times worse than anything contained in the Patriot Act. I don't support the Patriot Act, but the NDAA bill makes the Patriot Act look mild in comparison.

Yeah. The Patriot Act may chip away at our rights, but the NDAA puts them in cement shoes and throws them off the Brooklyn Bridge.

I'll be honest, this shocked me to. However, I can't wonder how genuine it really was. Call me kooky, but we're getting to that stage where people lika to pander to da votes.....

Now you can say a lot about santorum but not that he panders to votes. He´s just genuinly inconsistent.

pure pandering, just like his bringing up the drug wars impact on minorities that was a theft of Ron Paul in the prior debate, without a doubt, and add to the fact that he's do NOTHING to fix that imbalance in the drug war.
