Santorum: "We Will Never Have The Elite, Smart People On Our Side"

Rick Santorum, speaking before attendees at the Values Voter Summit yesterday said, "We will never have the media on our side, ever, in this country. We will never have the elite, smart people on our side, because they believe they should have the power to tell you what to do."

Mitt Romney's Offshore Bank Accounts and Tax Returns

My Take: In 2009 the Internal Revenue Service began to crackdown on the use of secret overseas bank accounts as tax havens. They offered a reduced penalty and amnesty to taxpayers who came forward before Oct. 15, 2010.

During the summer of 2010 Switzerland's largest bank announced that it would disclose the names of more than 4,000 U. S. account holders.

Romney's Swiss bank account was closed in 2010.

The question remains: What is the real reason Romney will not release his tax returns prior to 2010? Is it because in doing so it would prove that he had received amnesty for a serious crime, which would most assuredly destroy any chance of him becoming president?

Joe Scarborough's Assessment of Mitt Romney's Chances of Winning

The following is how Joe Scarborough hosts of “Morning Joe” on MSNBC and the former Republican representative from Florida’s 1st Congressional District (1995 to 2001) described Mitt Romney's chances of winning the presidency as a guest columnist for POLITICO:

Mitt Romney is likely to lose — and should, given that he’s neither a true conservative nor a courageous moderate. He’s just an ambitious man.

Romney's Statements on Libya Attacks (in FULL)

It is appalling that Romney's first reaction to the attacks were not to condemn the attackers of our embassies, but to attack the President and his administration in an effort to gain some political advantage.

Romney's statement was irresponsible, politicizing an horrific event that took the lives of four diplomatic officials, including U.S. ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens.

Romney's actions were completely inappropriate, especially from someone who aspires to be the President of the United States and the Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces.

At times like these we need Statesmen, not political hacks.
