PHOENIX — Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum says he was an outsider while inside Congress, a lawmaker who attacked corruption from within.

The former Pennsylvania senator also told a lunchtime audience in Phoenix that he is not a manager or a visionary, polite put-downs of Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.

Santorum spoke one week before the Arizona Republican primary, a contest that has been overshadowed by Michigan's primary on the same day, Feb. 28.

Romney is favored to win in Arizona, where the victor gets all 29 delegates at stake. There has been relatively little television advertising in the state, a sign that his rivals have scant hopes.

Romney, Gingrich, Santorum and Ron Paul are expected to debate Wednesday night in Mesa, their only joint appearance before the two states' primaries.

I guess Rick thinks that only men should believe that professional accomplishments are key to happiness.

Santorum needs to grasp that questioning Obama's Christian Values is not a Christian value.

Rick Santorum is a megalomaniac who will spread and show his A$$ more and more now that he’s in “The Big Show.” I just watched him on Face the Nation and he is a total complete ideological NUT JOB who is against modern medicine, public education and anyone with an idea different from his own ill-conceived insanity. He was just beaming..... so full of himself and so self-satisfied. He reminded me of one other Republican idiot lobbyist (Norquist) who got the whole lot of them to sign this stupid pledge not to ever, ever raise taxes on the rich.

Enough is Enough! Loony, loony, loony.
