Santorum to Take Louisiana

With nearly a 2-1 margin over Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum will win Louisiana. 60% of the vote is in and Santorum leads Romney with nearly a majority of the vote.

Will this be another boost to the Santorum campaign and will once again have people donating to him to fill his campaign coffers? Time will tell if voters will see Santorum as a good alternative to Romney and a formidable opponent to Obama.

Rick Santorum on Income Inequality

In a speech given in Detroit on Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum had this to say about income inequality.

“I’m not about equality of result when it comes to income inequality. There is income inequality in America. There always has been and, hopefully, and I do say that, there always will be.”

Many in the media are upset with Santorum's words and believe that he does not understand the dynamics of the economy.

Santorum does have a very accurate view of the economy and capitalism. Because of income inequality, people are motivated to do more in order to make more. Those who say that the system is broken point to the days of the robber barons and how people were exploited by the likes of Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, JP Morgan and Cornelius Vanderbilt.

However, those in the media who once praised individuals like Steve Jobs are now condemning him over the working conditions is Chinese factories and how the workers there are being exploited.

In the US, if a person does not like what he is doing or how he is being treated, he can quit and find another job. Capitalism allows people the opportunity to make something of themselves. You do not see that type of freedom in Communist countries.

Income inequality drives people to better themselves so that they can move up. Liberal media tells a distorted story of how no one can get ahead and that people are doomed. This distorted story is caused by one thing, a government that wants to regulate ALL aspects of our lives.

Look at what is happening in South Carolina. Two students had their lunches confiscated by a federal bureaucrat that is probably making a nice hefty salary for inspecting children's lunches.

When the government gets involved and starts changing rules and adding more regulations, it just makes things worse.

Santorum is absolutely correct. Income inequality is a good thing. Government just needs to get out of the way and allow the system to work as it was intended.

Newt Suggests that Santorum Should Drop Out

In the ABC's Sunday news program, "This Week", Newt suggested that Santorum should drop out of the race so that he can garner more of the conservative vote and beat Romney.

There have been rumors floating around that Santorum would drop out of the race. However, Santorum spoke out on Fox's News Channel and said that he would not drop out and continue his run.

Bachmann and Perry Out?

After yesterday's less than stellar showing by Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry at the Iowa Caucuses, each are facing tough decisions today.

Perry will be returning to Texas to evaluate his campaign and whether or not he will continue. Bachmann has canceled her trip to South Carolina and is planning a news conference this morning. The thought is that Bachmann would announce that she is dropping out of the GOP race.

Each, at one time, were at the top of the list as the Republican candidate that would run against President Obama in this year's election.

Rupert Murdoch Twits Rick Santorum

Media giant, Rupert Murdoch, announced his support for Rick Santorum Monday evening by twitting a message to this followers. Murdoch called Santorum the "only candidate with genuine big vision".

Murdoch controls Fox News Channel and The Wall Street Journal.

Although the twit was not a outright endorsement, it is unclear if Murdoch wants Iowans to think about Santorum or if Iowans were thinking about Santorum.

As a side note, Bill O'Reilly has invited Rick Santorum to appear on the "O'Reilly Factor" show on Wednesday. Prior to his rise in the polls, Santorum was not invited to the show.

Alan Colmes Take Cheap Shot at Santorum

Alan Colmes, Liberal commentator, takes a cheap shot at Rick Santorum during a discussion with National Review Editor Rich Lowry on Fox News.

During the discussion, Colmes mocked how the Santorum family handled the death of their newborn infant, Gabriel.

Colmes said, "get a load of some of the crazy things he’s said and done, like taking his two-hour-old baby when it died right after child birth home and played with it so that his other children would know that the child was real.”

Lowry called Colmes on the comments and said, "To take something that is that personal and that hurtful as losing a child and mocking it like that … that is beneath you, Alan."
