FLORENCE, SC -- Rick Santorum has only one word to describe the pro-Mitt Romney Super PAC television ad now running in South Carolina and Florida.
"Yuck."
The presidential hopeful said today that the Restore Our Future ad -- which claims Santorum voted to allow convicted felons vote -- is dishonest. "Now Gov. Romney has taken that and said Rick Santorum is for felons voting, and that is a lie," he told a crowd of nearly 150 people packed into Percy & Willie's restaurant. "And by the way, I think there is only two states that don't allow that. And so to go out and mislead the people of South Carolina as to what our record is on this, is just yuck."
Instead, Santorum said he supported a measure that would allow felons who have successfully completed parole to apply to have their voting rights restored.
The former Pennsylvania senator pledged to run a campaign based on integrity that would not "make claims about someone else that aren’t factually based." But he did not rule out going negative, the infamous pledge presidential rival Newt Gingrich made and has since broken. It was negative ads from the Romney Super PAC that have largely been credited for Gingrich's drop in the polls.
"I know a lot of candidates have been very upset about Gov. Romney and his PAC and what he’s doing attacking, as you know, Gov. Romney and Congressman Paul have been running for now for three states, a pretty hard negative campaign, which I think tells you a little bit about what they think of their ability to appeal to people’s better sides that now they have to go out there and just hammer everybody out there," said Santorum.
"If you do it legitimately that's fine, if you do it legitimately. But repeatedly I think Cong. Gingrich has made the comment, made the point that Gov. Romney has not been accurate in what his assessment is," he added.
With a spike in the polls and yesterday's endorsement from a group of conservative leaders, the Santorum campaign will have deeper pockets than ever before. The hit from Romney supporters shows he being taken seriously as a contender, but learning from Gingrich's fall in Iowa, there will be increased pressure for him to respond to the negative ads and mailers now beginning to flood the Palmetto State.
"I expect that from Barack Obama I don’t’ expect that from a Republican running for president," said Santorum.
"We are better than that."

The ant-christ (Mitt) bankrupted companies for profits leaving thousands of white people without jobs.
Republicans will destroy this country financially just to get Obama out of office.
Bill O Reilly confirmed with Santorum that most welfare recipients are white.
South Carolina and Florida are 2 of the poorest States in America.
For decades The Republicans duped white people in to thinking that they are better off than other races.
But you deserve it. You blindly vote against your best interest when voting Republican.
Just hope they they don’t succeed in eliminating your Social Security and Medicare.
"white people are better off than any other races"
thats probably the stupidest post i have ever seen on here...literally.
So white people aren't?
Maybe you are the stupidest poster on here.
Yes......You always are.
At least you're consistent.
ahh....another smart one he heard from...
keck you just showed how dumb you really are.
Larry-nc-2418660 was not saying that "white people are better off than any other races" he was saying the the GOP has fooled ignorant white folks into believe that they were better off than other races, while leaving unsaid that the GOP was in reality robbing them blind and setting them up to be impoverished like they wish to impoverish everyone else.
thanks for the insult red dog.
...oh and i did read the context of larrys comment.
and its' still the dumbest way to call republicans "rich politicians who dont care about middle to poor americans.
its leftist propaganda....a lie. bullsh!t what ever you wish to call it red.
The GOP leadership stated their #1 goal is to make Americans suffer in hopes they will blame Obama.
And there are still people out there that hate America enough to vote for these people.
And we all though Al Qaeda was our #1 enemy.
Imbiciles at large!
Democracy, Obama / Biden 2012!
we'll let democracy decide, yes ?
Hey Keck, Santorum wants to know what you're doing in your bedroom...
Can you keep him in there with you so the rest of us don't have to deal with right wing government intruding on our freedoms???
Thanks...
hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahaha
your name is ironic.

In jc

while there is a full moon
and ask that saniflush gets elected
it really works
well at least as much as living forever in a mansion wit streets of gold
SNARK, I hope you weren't serious!!! if you are then I truly pity you your delusions.
The whole process stinks to high heaven. Will the eventual GOP nominee have a chance against Obama? I don't think so at the rate they are shreading each other.
J. Reid,
Ah, but the GOP's circular firing squad is oodles & oodles of fun. Who needs the Kardashians?
This bashing between Re pub's is hilarious. Matching felons against felons, and who IS worst between each other.
Our country might be in a @!$%# hole, but blaming the people in prison while these "elected" officials did worse with legislation to benefit the upper crust, let alone self & " Bud's" pisses me off.
Dear Tea Party.....
Remember the old saying of be careful what you wish for? You got it now !
"I expect that from Barack Obama I don’t’ expect that from a Republican running for president," said Santorum. "We are better than that."
Funniest thing I've seen in a loooong time.
If Santorum became President, it would be just like he was as a Senator again. Never seen, never heard and pretending to live in the State he was suppose to be representing.
The entire GOP field is one big yuck!
Obama ran a clean campaign in 2008. No one was allowed to bad mouth Sen McCain. While the GOP busily ran ads about Rev Wright and Bill Ayers, Obama let McCain's extramarital antics, and unethical behavior while in Congress ride. McCain would have been kicked out of the Senate had it not been for his war record. Although I have heard some noise on his war record, apparently Obama does not believe in Swift Boating veterans, either. Good for him!
Romney is another kettle of fish, very smelly, and very nasty. Obama is going to have to expose this hypocrite.
Santorum is another nasty kettle of smelly fish. The guy is incredibly dirty.
Santorum is leader of the Taliban wing of the Republican Party. Were he selected as the Republican nominee, Obama would win by a landslide by at least 65-35 nationally. Perry will be gone by the end of February, followed by Gingrich shortly thereafter, and Santorum will be gone after the Florida primary. Romney will be the nominee by mid-March, conservatives will pay lip service in lukewarm support of him because he's a Mormon, and his super PACs and he may spend $250 mil on rancorous propaganda during the fall campaign.
Romney will continue portraying himself as a job creator, and Obama will counter with his version of Gingrich's "When Mitt Came to Town." Obama will win a cliffhanger depending on whether the national unemployment rate drops below 8.3% by election day.
Think you are probably about right. Surely people are NOT going to vote for a Wall Street maven after what happened to our savings.
I don't know Kathryn... the rightwing teanuts get all ginned-up over wallstreet; it's a party for them.
Reminder:
This thing (saniflush) is proud of producing a retard.
A dead delivery he took home and introduced to the retard and all rest and then slept with it!!!
Believes in man-made jc god live forever
in hell or heaven
Yaweh kicked man-kind out of Garden so they would not eat of the tree of life and live forever
but they LOVE their all Loving god
Yaweh sent his chosen people into the promised land with instructions to kill every man, woman, child there. Just after giving them the Ten Commandments.
christians are the most ignorant people in the world but this being America I guess we tolerate them
Calling all OWS we need to be a million strong and follow Romney around so folks don't forget who has their 401K money. Does Mr. Wall Street really think we have forgotten?
You have to remember most Americans have a short memory span. And yes, he thinks and hopes we have forgotten. In the meantime, it's interesting to see them eat their own. Keep the popcorn coming.
For a long time now I've been wondering what's odd about inSanatoriums' face ... like it has some kind of permanent contortion .... it's now occured to me ...
*Yuck I smell a fart*
LOL.
I expect that from Barack Obama I don’t’ expect that from a Republican running for president," said Santorum.
"We are better than that."
No you are not as your last comment proves.
These candidates are wealth of negative ad ammunition, But as much as each and every one of them complain about the negative ads against them, It is pretty hard to deny the ads tell the truth, Romney DID take small profit companies over, sell off the assets and put tens of thousands of Americans out of work, Newt DID cheat on all of his wives and get kicked out of Congress on ethics charges, Santorum is a racist and religous fanatic who will attempt to combine HIS religon and politics despite the Constitution citing freedom of religon, And there are a million more factual reasons not to vote for any of the Republican candidates, But,,,,,If they think they are under a microscope and being "attacked" now, Wait until the REAL election and see what comes out when it will be the Democrats turn, This last election for Obama was a wealth of BS, He was a Muslim, He was a racist (I found this one hilarious) He belonged to a Christian church with racist ties, He wasn't born in the USA,,,,,,Tons of total BS sometimes directly countering other BS being spewed, Basically any lie they could tell to steam up the Republican base, The point is, It was propaganda and lies, What the Democrats have with any of these candidates is IRON CLAD UNDENIABLE FACTS!!!!
When will this clown car finally get to the big tent,BARACK is ready to crack his whip at the elephants! OBAMA-BIDEN 2012 J-MAL
11 30 11 Obama Works Wonders for the Economy —of Brazil
Seeing the American president traveling around the globe,
almost begging other nations to ramp up their energy production with billions
of U.S. dollars is not just embarrassing; it’s incomprehensible given the
extraordinary, untapped energy reserves available right here at home,
especially in my home state of Alaska.
Now the
administration seems to be moving even more U.S. dollars to Brazil. In a
little-covered story from a few days ago, it was revealed that the Air Force
has turned down the bid from American aircraft manufacturer Hawker Beechcraft
to produce a light attack armed reconnaissance aircraft. Hawker Beechcraft is
based in Kansas and employs around 1,400 workers in 20 states. According to the
company, $100 million had been invested over a two-year period in working with
the Air Force in developing its AT-6 aircraft.
The
winner of the nearly $1 billion dollar decision to terminate Hawker appears to
be the Brazilian aircraft company Embraer and its “Super Tucano” airplane. It’s
odd that the Air Force would prefer U.S. pilots to fly in war zones in planes
constructed in Brazil by Brazilian workers. Stranger yet, the favored company,
Embraer, has recently been placed under investigation by the Securities and
Exchange Commission for corruption.
What is most offensive a National Day of JIHADIST prayer or a National Day of Christian Prayer? This year your illustrious Pres skipped our National Day of Prayer but had a special invite to the White House now where he is telling guests not to sign because it can be subpeoned...from Judicial Watch...so uncertain as to whether or not all the guests aka Muslim-Jihadists signed in for the National Muslim Day of Prayer...but they don't have to since they are from the Homeland Insecurity Department!
Looks like you're missing your Messiah Bush who invented the neocon neologism *Islam the Religion of Peace* then added the Koran into the Whitehouse Library then forced some of our boys fighting in Iraq to kiss the Koran and apologize after they shot holes in it ...
Jus'nutha reason right-wing wacknuts never ever mention Bush ... but from time to time present us with *Dick* & Lez Cheney about how torture techinques won the War against Islam ...
:nutzo:
MSNBC gets a tickle up their leg every time they see their Kenyan god-king...bow to your master! JOURNOLIST...pre=paid propagandaistas...
Your hilarious, You really should try checking your propaganda before posting it
How can he be a Kenyan god-king? I've read posts from you stating he was a commie, socialist, fascist, etc, etc. So are you lying now, or did you lie before?
Bo, I don't think he knows how to check anything, let alone his propaganda BS.
Is your 60 inch flat screen turned to FOX News a throne or a shrine???
On Santorum "yuck" and "PUNK"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uhhhh, sounds like the truth to me Ricky. You say tomato............
Does Yahoo know that these boards become nothing more than Chat Rooms? Same people, same opinions over and over with gang ups and high fives between the waring factions. Sad to think of the time and effort wasted here - reminds me of sports fans.
Yahoo? I hope you don't get lost on your way to the grocery store.
As repugnant as I find Santorum to be, I think I understand his stance on homosexuality. I think his experiance with homosexuals has possibly been limited to Catholic priests who have an affinity for young lads behinds. He needs to understand that not all gay people are out to bugger little boys. As far as the dead child, people handle grief in different, and sometimes unusual ways. Not saying it's right, but to each his own.
