41st Conservative Political Action Conference ...Next > |
March 7, 2014--Foster Friess
introduced former Sen. Rick
Santorum (R-PA) as a man who "knows what he believes, knows his
heart." Santorum, who has a
book, "Blue Collar Conservatives" coming out in April, recalled
the 2012 campaign, when, he said, “We went out and talked about job
creators. We talked about job creators, not job holders.” At
the Republican Convention "small business person after small business
person after small business person after large business person” spoke,
but “we
didn’t send one server from a restaurant on the stage.” Santorum
urged "focusing on those who are working Americans." "...Notice I didn't say 'middle
class." I don't know why we do this, fellow conservatives and
Republicans. Why do we believe, why do we use a term, I
should say, that is of the other side. Why do we as Republicans
who believe in the dignity of every human life, who believe in equality
of opportunity for everyone to rise, adopt a clas-envy, leftist
language that divides America against themselves? Classes in
America. Do we really accept the fact there are classes in
America? Then why do we use that term, why do we adopt their
language? We have to stop that..." (transcript)
