VALLEY FORGE, Pa. -- Sen. Rick Santorum on Thursday lashed out at the media and liberals for undermining support for the Iraq war at a time when, he said, Islamic fundamentalist pose a serious threat to national security.

(snip)

Speaking to more than 300 cadets at the Valley Forge Military Academy, Santorum said public support for the war has been difficult to maintain because of "biased coverage of the war and the political left demagoguery of the war."

8. HOT DAMN!! Lookit this . . .

"The two-term incumbent (Santorum) is trailing his likely Democratic opponent, state treasurer Bob Casey Jr., in his bid for re-election in November." . . . and . . . "In a Quinnipiac University poll released last month, Pennsylvania voters said by a 2-1 margin that Santorum's support of President Bush hurt his chances for re-election."

11. Valley Forge Military Institute???

This is a joke. When Chris Mathews held his Hardball show at Virginia Military Institute soon after George sent our troops to Iraq, and Mathews asked how many of the students supported George's War On. Almost all of the students/cadets, raised their hands. When Mathews followed-up with the question of how many planned on enlisting and actually going to Iraq, the number dwindled to approximately 5-6 cadets.

Calling these schools Military Institutions is a joke.

12. HOT DAMN is right!

Sweet!

19. Go Bob, but remember what we learned from polls in the last election.

[driver8]

9. Support for this war has been difficult to maintain because it isn't

a war; It is the occupation of a sovereign nation. Our men and women in uniform are dying because of lies -- lies told by greedy, war-mongering, chickenhawks.

Fuck you Santorum -- I cannot wait until you are gone.

27. Rick Santorum's response to the Downing Street Memo

Right here:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/7/18/124429/127

In case you guys and gals missed it, the above link was a recomended DKos diary on how Rick Santorum responded to the Downing Street Memos, which proved that Bush lied about the entire policy that got us into Iraq.

Dear Ricky, you know about the Downing Street Memos, and how the whole world knows that Bush lied us into Iraq. Ricky, how can you critisize us for questioning Bush's lies, when YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN THE DOWNING STREET MEMO?!?!?

The Downing Street Memo informs us that the whole Iraq policy was a lie, and still after 9 months, nobody in the GOP has a credible response to the DSM memos.

The number 1 killer of US Troops is Bush's lies.

37. How do you answer a poll like that?

Of course, protest is patriotic and should hurt the progression of an unjust war. That's what it's supposed to do.

Sheesh.

i was hijacked to the results page. i dumped internet files (windows xp - used the "repair internet connection" option) and then did a reboot.

just went back and Voila! I added my vote. i'm suspicious of the activity around the poll though. looks like not that many people are voting. could it be due to something fishy? i dunno.... :shrug:

58. Sen. Rick Santorum attack on the News Media

Santorum could only do it a Military Academy. Like Bush, who will only give those kinds of speeches to Military or Conservative organizations;while he ignores the general public.

Believe me if he keeps it up the newspapers will disappear. It's up to the billionaire media owners to rain B.W. in: before he dies the death of a thousand cuts, inflected upon him, by him self.

Someone needs to explain to G.W. the difference between, Cutting and running and Re-deployment, are entirely two different strategies.
