"Everything I've read shows that we would not have gotten this information as to who this man was if it had not been gotten information from people who were subject to enhanced interrogation," Santorum told host Hugh Hewitt. "And so this idea that we didn't ask that question while Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was being waterboarded, he (McCain) doesn't understand how enhanced interrogation works."
Shortly afterward, a spokeswoman for McCain said his office would not dignify Santorum's comments with a response. But the remarks drew a stinging retort from former longtime McCain adviser Mark Salter. Salter, who most recently advised McCain during his unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign, fired back via Facebook.
"Ron Paul may be the wackiest candidate in the GOP field. But for pure, blind stupidity, nobody beats Santorum. In my 20 years in the Senate, I never met a dumber member, which he reminded me of today," Salter wrote.
McCain addressed the interrogation issue last week amid a charged debate on Capitol Hill over how important the enhanced techniques used during the prior administration were in pinpointing bin Laden's location.
McCain said he asked CIA Director Leon Panetta for the facts, and that the hunt for bin Laden did not begin with fresh information from Mohammed. In fact, the name of bin Laden's courier, Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, came from a detainee held in another country.
You are part of the 18-20% club. The rest of America is able to address our issues honestly and free of irrational bias. Add in the fact that the GOP has a miserable group of front runners, and then recall Obama's long list of legislative accomplishments during his time as president and you don't have a chance. The difference between somebody like myself and you, is that I have the capacity to be honest with myself in regards to this presidency, while you clearly do not. That's why you are not able to comprehend what is going on right now, and what will happen in 2012.
They cant think outside the box. Which explains the type of candidates they continue to support. Newt? please. They have no viable candidate even at this late date. Maybe they can exhume Reagan.
Surely you are kidding. Who in the world to you think is capable of beating Obama? Palin? Bachman? Who?
Time to face reality.
I think Pee Wee Herman could beat Obama. The majority of people are just not stupid enough to vote for a bald faced liar.
