Rick Santorum Agrees with Ted Cruz on Government Shutdown

Did you know that Obamacare is everything that’s wrong with the Government? And if you cannot defund or repeal Obamacare, then nothing else matters and the government might as well shut down?

Well that is the stance that Republicans have taken recently since their leader Ted Cruz forced a House vote stating just that – defund Obamacare or shut down the government.

And Rick Santorum, the former Republican presidential candidate who ran his campaign on a “morality” and Christianity platfirm joined the Cruz Chorus, demanding that 30 million Americans lose their health care,  or else…

In an interview on CNN’s New Day, the host asked Santorum if he supported Cruz’s efforts to defund Obamacare and his government shutdown ultimatum. Needless to say, Santorum agreed, saying that people in Washington are too accustomed to working together to solve problems.

“I would be with Ted Cruz,” Santorum explained. “What happens in Washington, D.C. is that everybody just muddles together and tries to work things out, and when you have a president and a Senate controlled by one party that means, generally speaking, if you want more-limited government, it’s going to be a bad deal.”
And he implied that Cruz’s my way or the highway approach is the way to go. Make the comfortable people uncomfortable.

“I guess, I can say I’ve been accused of putting my party in a bad spot repeatedly when I was in the Senate, and sometimes you have to do that. You have to make people uncomfortable because people do get too comfortable in sort of cutting the deal.”

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
