In reply to the discussion: Santorum regrets 'throw up' response to Kennedy speech [View all]DallasNE
(7,403 posts)34. You Nailed It
It reminds me in some ways when Romney said he doesn't care about poor people because they have a supposed safety net nor the rich because they can take care of themselves. Both were part of their respective stump speeches and the "regrets" only happened after they have been called out on it. They would have been more than happy to continue to include it in their stump speech.
