Prepare to be outraged! 15 minute video at the link below.
These liberal Obama-worshipers ganged up on Franklin Graham, trying their best to send him running off the set whimpering!
Instead, Graham wisely responded to their ‘gotcha’ trick questions with grace and was not flustered or taken off message.
Just look at the faces of the inquisitors and listen to their tone: they sneer; their faces display disgust. Yet try as they might, they can’t make Graham look bad; they look bad.
Morning Joe Liberals may regret this interview. I can’t imagine this firing up the left the way it should fire up the right.
Newt brought up this problem with food stamps in the Q and A portion of his speech to ORU. I would like someone to ask Rick about this. http://www.verumserum.com/?p=38111
“Rick Santorum promises to cut food stamps spending if he is elected, but he had a prime opportunity to rein in the program when he was in the Senate. Not only did he vote the wrong way, but by his own admission he played a central role in blocking what would have been a very reasonable change in the way the program is administered.”
Had he voted to close the loophole, Michigan wouldn’t have stories like this– http://www.verumserum.com/?p=24587

Santorum Surge Brings Ethics Questions
Rick Santorum’s powerful finish in the Iowa caucus is bringing fresh attention to his tenure in Congress, including ethics questions that dogged him about a preferred mortgage he received from a bank run by campaign donors, and federal funds that went to a real estate developer who backed his charity.
One of the top donors to Santorum’s charity was also the beneficiary of an $8 million Santorum-sponsored federal earmark, according to published reports. Melanie Sloan, a former federal prosecutor who filed an ethics complaint against Santorum in 2006 on behalf of a watchdog group, said her organization’s website received a tidal wave of visitors in the past 24 hours, and in an interview she said she believes people will discover that the GOP presidential contender is “hardly the moral paragon he purports to be.”
“There were several instances in which Santorum appeared to have taken campaign contributions in direct exchange for legislative assistance,” said Sloan, whose organization, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), spent months investigating Santorum’s activities while he was in office. “He violated Senate gift rules by accepting a mortgage from a bank in which he had no interest and which otherwise made loans only to its own investors.”
Please read this whole article. After you get past the headline, it really isn’t just another Santorum bash. http://www.damndirtyrino.com/2012/02/21/did-santorum-really-believe/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+damndirtyrino%2FQLjW+%28The+Damn+Dirty+RINO%29
“Isn’t it strange, though, that this particular attack would show up on Drudge, complete with the black and white image of Santorum looking downright sinister speaking from a pulpit in what appears to be a black turtleneck. Considering that the former Pennsylvania senator’s only real advantage over Romney is his appeal to social conservatives, it’s easy to see how such a story might be useful to Team Mitt.
As it happens, attacking your opponent’s strengths instead of his weaknesses has been one of Karl Rove’s calling cards throughout his long, successful career as a political strategist:”
This link is about Rick–”Rush Limbaugh talked about it on his show, saying the former senator is going to have to explain it: “That stuff is out there. It’s headlined on Drudge and the left has it, and Santorum will have to deal with it. He’ll have to answer it. I don’t know. It’s just not the kind of stuff you hear a presidential candidate talk about. It’s not ordinary in that sense.” http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/2012/02/raising-satan-against-santorum-115112.html

What They Are Saying About Me
"Someone with credibility is saying these things and trying to do something. Thank you."
"'Obtuse' is just about the nicest thing I could say about Jacobson. The problem with being too steeped in any profession is that you run the risk of no longer understanding the difference between reality and your profession's most obscure minutiae."
"I just wanted to thank you for writing such a great article on your reasons why you voted for John McCain. I wish everyone would have read that article."
"Jacobson is doing only what other McCain supporters are starting to do, produce these worthless pieces from some narrow perch in order to cover up their own racist bigotry"
"Cornell and the country need more educators like yourself to keep the flag of reason flying."
“I take it Jacobson teaches at the cow college part of Cornell, and not the elite section where Coulter attended.”
"Thank you for speaking out... and I hope you avoid repercussions in 'The People's Republic of Ithaca.'"
