Rick Santorum National Radio Ad "Out of This World"

NEW SANTORUM RADIO AD EXPOSES GINGRICH'S "OUT OF THIS WORLD" FISCALLY INSANE PLANS
 
Verona, PA - The Rick Santorum for President campaign today released a new nationwide radio advertisement today entitled "Out of This World." It exposes Representative Gingrich's fiscally insane plan to colonize the moon as just another example of Gingrich's eratic behavior and wild ideas that pander to a crowd, cost taxpayers money and exponentially grow the size of government. This presents a clear contrast with Rick Santorum's fiscally conservative vision to balance the budget, reform entitlements, and revitalize American manufacturing.

Script To "Out Of This World:

Voice Over:

Reckless spending has led to a 15 trillion dollar national debt.

That's 50,000 dollars of debt for every person in America... and it's crushing our economic recovery.

And what's does Newt Gingrich suggest?   Spending half a trillion dollars on a moon colony.

Newt Gingrich:

By the end of my second term we will have the first permanent base on the moon.

When we have 13,000 living on the moon, they can petition to become a state.

Voice Over:

Gingrich's idea is fiscal insanity.

And another reason true conservatives are uniting behind Rick Santorum.

Unlike Gingrich, Santorum opposed all the bailouts.   And Rick Santorum successfully reformed welfare, and has fought tirelessly for a balanced budget amendment.

Rick Santorum...he doesn't just talk a good conservative game...he lives it.

Rick Santorum:

I'm Rick Santorum, candidate for President, and I approve this message.

Tea Party & Conservative Leader Sharron Angle Endorses Santorum For President

TEA PARTY & CONSERVATIVE LEADER SHARRON ANGLE ENDORSES SANTORUM FOR PRESIDENT
 
Las Vegas, NV - The Rick Santorum for President campaign is proud to announce that it has received the endorsement of former U.S. Senate candidate and Nevada Tea Party leader Sharron Angle.

Sharron Angle said: "Rick Santorum and I have known each other for years. He is a strong fiscal and social conservative who stands on principles above politics. He has never wavered in his support for family values understanding the impact that strong families have on a prosperous economy. His continuous opposition to Amnesty, Obamacare, the bail-outs, and cap and trade are a perfect fit with our main street Tea Party movement."

Rick Santorum said: "Sharron Angle is a fighter, and proved how important it is to take the fight to liberals like Harry Reid.  Despite tens of millions of dollars thrown against her, Sharron did not back down and stood tall for repealing Obamacare and for the traditional values that make America great.  I am thrilled to receive her endorsement and I am confident it will be a terrific boon to our campaign as the Nevada Caucus approaches."

Sharron Angle has earned a national reputation as a strong fighter for conservatism and the Tea Party movement.  Angle was first elected to office in 1992 to the Nye County School Board of Trustees and was then elected to the Nevada State Assembly in 1998, rising to the level of Majority Whip in the State Assembly.  Angle was the 2010 Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, coming within 5 points of defeating Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Rick Santorum National Radio Ad "Only One"

SANTORUM IS THE "ONLY ONE"
New National Radio Ad Makes It Clear That Santorum Is The Clear Conservative Alternative To Romney
 
Verona, PA - The Rick Santorum for President campaign released a new national radio ad focusing on why Congressman Gingrich was not able to capitalize on his South Carolina victory, and why Rick Santorum is the one consistent, conviction conservative able to stop Mitt Romney and defeat Barack Obama.

To Listen To: "One One"

http://www.ricksantorum.com/blog/2012/01/audio-rick-santorums-new-radio-ad-only-one

Script: "Only One"

Female Voice Over:

The following is an important message for all true conservatives and tea party supporters.

Male Voice Over:

The Florida results are in, and despite spending millions; Newt Gingrich went from a big lead to a big defeat.  Why? Because voters discovered Gingrich wasn't a true conservative.

Like Romney, Gingrich supported the Wall Street bailouts, job killing Cap and Trade...and radical healthcare mandates.  Gingrich even supports giving some illegals amnesty.

It's time for conservatives and tea party supporters to unite behind the true conservative that can stop Romney, and defeat Obama...Rick Santorum.

Santorum is rock solid on the social issues.  He opposes amnesty, mandates, and the bailouts. And Santorum successfully reformed welfare, moving millions from welfare to work.

Rick Santorum...he doesn't just talk a good conservative game...he lives it.  Go to ricksantorum.com and join the fight.

Rick Santorum Releases New Statewide Television Advertisement For Nevada And Colorado

SANTORUM RELEASES NEW STATEWIDE TELEVISION ADVERTISEMENT FOR NEVADA AND COLORADO
Santorum "...doesn't just talk a good conservative game, he lives it"
 
Verona, PA - Republican Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum released a new television advertisement today which will begin airing immediately and statewide in Nevada and Colorado. The ad, entitled, "Deal" outlines why we need a clear, bold contrast with Barack Obama this fall, not a nominee who blurs the lines.
 
"Deal"

Script of "Deal"

Voice Over:

On the other sides of these cards are the picture of three politicians.

Here's some clues as to who they are.

All three supported radical cap and trade legislation that would destroy American jobs and drive up energy costs.

All three supported giving illegal aliens some form of amnesty.

All three sported the government health mandates which take away our freedom and is the core of Obamacare.

And all three of these politician's supported the Wall Street bailouts that was a slap in the face to the Tea Party.

Who are these three Cap and Trade lovin, bailout supporting, soft of immigration, big government mandating politicians?  ....Now you know.

Rick Santorum for President, he doesn't just talk a good conservative game, he lives it.
