Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich BROMANCE??

Santorum: I'm a threat to the GOP establishment 

CBS Sunday Talk show with Bob Schieffer 01/15/12 

Gay activist, (just kidding) Rick Santorum appeared today on CBS's Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer. The interview starts off with Schieffer quoting what Santorum's best friend, Newt, said about Mitt Romney. Newt said that, "Mitt would not just be a bad choice, but a real problem for Republicans."

As what any other good friend would do, Santorum agreed with the statement. His reason is: Health Care. He says that Romney's plan  was based on Obama's health care, he was for individual mandate and government control of health care. He continues by saying that it increased taxes, including the taxes on a federal level ecause he says that "we've been pumping billions of dollars in the state of Massachusetts for Romney care." Overall, he says that it would be a disaster for both Obama and Romney to run against each other when their views on health care are the same, a view that Santorum believes is ridiculous.

Santorum says that some people want a president that will bring little to no change because they want to feel comfortable. He adds that when someone like him, who is a reformer, wants to shakes things up, especially when he was in DC, they feel that he is a threat to the GOP establishment.

Schieffer then asks why Santorum is a better candidate than others like Ron Paul and Newt. Santorum says that he agrees with some of their views.

For Paul: he agrees with Paul's view on the amounts of cuts they need to make and reforms of things like the federal reserve. The problem is his democratic view on national security. He wants to withdraw the troops and that would not keep America on good terms with its allies.

For Gingrich: This must be so HARD for Santorum to bash on his BFF, but he's gotta do it if he wants to win. He begins by saying, "Newt  is a friend and someone that I have a lot of respect for." But he believes that Newt has a bad record of leadership. He says that the US Senate Leadership, every group like NRA could depend on Santorum for conservative agenda items. 

Throughout the GOP races, I have noticed a bond between Santorum and Gingrich. They are always backing each other's views and attacked Romney together. This may be a strategy and could seem like a serious threat on the other candidates when they know that their opponents are in a small allegiance. Santorum and Gingrich do not have to worry about negative aids about them from the other because of this somewhat friendship that they have going.
