http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/article/how-rick-santorum-got-2-million-virginia-estate/418636 Rick Santorum built his presidential candidacy on the premise that he is very different than wealthy, establishment front-runner Mitt Romney, that he is someone who has faced the plights of the average American. Among the hardships Santorum claims to share is an underwater mortgage, the kind that's forcing millions from their homes. "The value of my house is a fraction of what it was when I bought it," the former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania recently told Michigan supporters . But the Republican presidential contender's housing situation is quite unlike the one so many other Americans actually face, according to experts and documents obtained by The Washington Examiner.

BOILING SPRINGS, SC—At his last town hall before South Carolinians vote, Rick Santorum was discussing the concepts of freedom and equality that the nation was founded on and said the concept of equality “doesn’t come from Islam” or “Eastern religions.” Instead “it comes from “the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” “I get a kick out of folks who call for equality now, the people on the left, ‘Well, equality, we want equality.’ Where do you think this concept of equality comes from?” http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/01/santorum-says-equality-doesnt-come-from-islam-but-from-god-of-abraham-isaac-and-jacob/

DRUDGE: SANTORUM'S SATAN WARNING

http://drudgereport.com/flash3s.htm "Satan is attacking the great institutions of America, using those great vices of pride, vanity, and sensuality as the root to attack all of the strong plants that has so deeply rooted in the American tradition." The former senator from Pennsylvania warned in 2008 how politics and government are falling to Satan. "This is a spiritual war. And the Father of Lies has his sights on what you would think the Father of Lies would have his sights on: a good, decent, powerful, influential country - the United States of America. If you were Satan, who would you attack in this day and age?" "We look at the shape of mainline Protestantism in this country and it is in shambles, it is gone from the world of Christianity as I see it."

Michael Savage: Santorum is right about Satan

http://www.wnd.com/2012/02/michael-savage-santorum-is-right-about-satan/ Comments unearthed from a 2008 speech about Satan’s influence on America made Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum the target of derision and mockery today, but talk-radio host Michael Savage contends the former Pennsylvania senator is right, and his beliefs should only help his chances for the White House this fall. “I think Santorum is right, and I think that anyone who attacks him is not seeing this for what it is,” Savage told his radio audience. Savage said he agrees that America is primarily a Christian nation, and its churches and synagogues are “filled with parishioners who are screaming for preachers and pastors and rabbis to speak the truth, and they’re not getting it.” Addressing students at Ave Maria University in Florida in 2008, Santorum declared: “Satan has his sights on the United States of America.”

Palin: Media Getting "Wee-Weed Up" Over Santorum's Satan Remark | RealClearPolitics

Posted on February 21, 2012 "They will attack any conservative who boldly proclaims their faith and talks about there is good in the world and there's evil in the world and that's what Rick Santorum was talking about.

Have they never heard of this terminology before?' And that's why they got so, you know, just whacked out about the speech," Sarah Palin told Sean Hannity on FOX News tonight.
