FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Mr Santorum has surged to the front of the Republican nomination contest in
recent weeks with a message of social conservatism, attacking Obama health
care reforms that obligated religious-affiliated hospitals and schools to
provide contraception to employees.
However in a year where the economy is uppermost in most American’s minds, it
remains far from clear that the appeal to conservative social issues will
prove a winning formula for Mr Santorum.
“One place Santorum may have hurt himself in the last week is an
overemphasis on social issues,” said Public Policy Polling (PPP),
observing that 69 per cent of Michigan voters were concerned with economic
issues this year compared to only 17 per cent who picked social issues.
“Momentum in Michigan is completely on Mitt Romney’s side,” said
Dean Debnam, President of PPP, “He’s amassed a large lead with absentee
voters and it will take a huge turnout on election day from Santorum voters
to overcome that.”
However Mr Romney continued to go off-message by drawing attention to his vast
wealth while millions of Americans struggled to recover from the country’s
economic collapse.
Asked at the Daytona 500 race in Florida if he followed Nascar stock-car
racing, Mr Romney said: “Not as closely as some of the most ardent
fans, but I have some great friends who are Nascar team owners.”
The remark came days after the former Massachusetts governor told a crowd in
Detroit, one of the country’s poorest cities, that among other family cars,
his wife Ann drove “a couple of Cadillacs”.
The Democrats pounced on Mr Romney’s latest comment, suggesting that it
demonstrated that the former corporate buy-out executive, who is worth up to
$250 million (£160 million) was out of touch.
Brad Woodhouse, a Democratic spokesman, suggested a range of alternative
Romneyisms, such as: “I don’t know pilots, but I know people who own
airlines.”
Mr Romney was unapologetic when asked about his gaffes at the weekend,
reiterating that he had been “extraordinarily successful” and
would use “that success and that know-how to help the American people.”
Campaigning in Michigan on Monday, Mr Romney appeared to taunt Mr Santorum
over the apparent damage to his rival’s poll numbers by his focus on social
issues, pointing out that Mr Santorum had written a column in the Wall
Street Journal about the economy.
“I’m glad he recognises this has got to be a campaign about the economy,”
Mr Romney said. “It’s time for him to really focus on the economy, and
for you to all say, ‘OK, if the economy’s going to be the issue we focus on,
who has the experience to actually get this economy going again?'”
