Get flash to fully experience Pearltrees
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Friday blasted rivals former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for their past support of legislation to combat global warming, saying that politicians shouldn't change "when the climate changes." "When the climate changed about man-made global warming in this country and everybody rushed to say we need to do something now about this huge problem, I didn't change," the former Pennsylvania proudly declared at an event at the USS Alabama Battleship Park. "This climate science of man-made global warming is not climate science, it was political science." "I didn't sit on a couch with anybody," Santorum added, referring to an ad Gingrich had made with then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) calling for mandatory carbon caps .

Iran announced on Wednesday that it had managed to enrich to that level , and is now installing the homemade fuel plates in the reactor. The medical reactor was given to Iran by the United States and was inaugurated in 1967.

WASHINGTON — Only days after having to explain a comment about women and emotions in combat, Rick Santorum seemed to struggle a bit on Sunday to explain a remark in his 2005 book “It Takes a Family” that blamed “radical feminists” for undermining families and for trying to persuade women that they could find fulfillment only in the workplace. Asked on the ABC News program “This Week” about the book’s contentions, Mr.The man and the moment seem to have collided and the man is Santorum, not Mitt Romney . While he can still make a tenuous claim to being the Republican front-runner, Romney can't say this is the campaign he expected or is best positioned to exploit. The 2012 election was supposed to be about jobs and the economy and, though that will still be central, the dynamic has shifted. The dreadful economic numbers that, six months ago, threatened to make Barack Obama a one-term president are now not so dreadful. The good news is not great, but it may be enough to make voters feel slightly more upbeat and give Democrats room to spin a positive story. Meanwhile, the culture war has gone hot:
