Santorum says Cruz 'Did More Harm' Than Good..'

Rick Santorum: Ted Cruz 'Did More Harm' Than Good With Government Shutdown

ormer senator and Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) criticized Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for the partial government shutdown, admitting Cruz "did more harm" than good with his attempt to defund President Barack Obama's health care law. ...

...Prior to the shutdown, which left hundreds of thousands of federal workers furloughed without pay for over two weeks and cost the U.S. economy an estimated $24 billion, Santorum voiced support for Cruz's plan to tie anti-Obamacare measures to the government funding bill.

Of all people, shitty little Santorum supported loose cannon, anti-America Cruz until he saw what the whole world had already figured out - that it do more harm and good.

Since when did Santorum ever want to do anything "good" for his own country?

Maybe Cruz and Santorum will run on a "Let's Screw Americans" ticket.

 

[TheOldSchool]

Despite my opinion of Cruz, I hope there's nobody out there still listening to anything that comes out of Santorum's mouth

when you liarberals cream your cookies over two Republicans disagreeing it provides me with a few ...

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Well, if anyone knows about doing more harm than good, it’s Rick Santorum.

 

[whitehall]

. You could almost visualize the Huffingtons and the Media Matters propaganda specialists drooling while they waited for Santorum to say something critical about Cruz but it wasn't that big of a deal so they added the words "than good" to make it seem as if Santorum said "more harm than good" but he only said "more harm" which is a different context. Santorum also said "I think his (Cruz) objective was a laudable one but he didn't plan well enough".

 

[Avorysuds]

Well, if anyone knows about doing more harm than good, it’s Rick Santorum.

Agreed. I'd gladly beat the fuck out of that man (and I could) if I had the right conditions.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Santorum said, in effect, that what Cruz did was harmful.

He's right. For the first time in a very long time.

 

[BDBoop]

Yes, but if he thought it would gain him any ground to back Cruz, he'd be doing that. Santorum is doing what he's always done, the weasel.

Former Senator says it all.

Dumbass liberals don't know crap about conservatives! I met and voted for Santorum in the last primary. He's a good man and so is Cruz.

Either of them would be a far, far better president than the lying scumbucket we have now!

Whatever Santorum says at this point is irrelevant, as he is irrelevant.

Something Santorum and Cruz have in common with liberals.

 

[Steven_R]

Remember when Rick Santorum was all gung ho about Intelligent Design and all but demanded it be taught in schools...until the Dover trial was over and he promptly distanced himself from the ID crowd? How the ID crowd thought it was a done deal because Judge Jones was nominated by Santorum and then whoops, ID is unconstitutional because it is just creationism rebranded?

Good times.

"Whatever Santorum says at this point is irrelevant, as he is irrelevant" along with the Tea Party.

The dance is coming to an end and there ain't no magic slippers and singing mice to dress you losers.

Frothy calling Mr. Canada insane is really something!

Really?? And how close are either one of them to realizing that lofty ambition?? Better hope you're not hanging until one of them achieves it.

The biggest problem with the shutdown was that it showed Americans how much they would miss government if it wasn't there.

Therefore it was an epic fail for the GOP.

If the GOP really, really wanted to diminish the allure of big government, they need to raise taxes to a level where people are actually paying for it.

The Republican love from the left goes on

they accused this man of playing with this dead baby

this is how sick the left is, one day hate him and say vile things about him, then he puts down someone they hate, instant LOVE

sick sick people

I never faulted Santorum for doing that, and even pointed out that there were psychologists who supported that as part of the greiving process. (Incidently, Romney supporters at the time were just as likely to rip on him for that as liberals.)

I have mixed feelings about Santorum. I think he's a religious loon, but I also think he's one of the few Republicans who understands the GOP has lost touch with the interests of working people.

On this point, he's correct. The Shutdown hurt the GOP for no other reason that it reminded people that if Government wasn't there, they'd miss it. Therefore, they defeated their own purpose.
