Before heading to the national debate Saturday night, fromer Senator Rick Santorum made a stop in Summerville as part of congressman Tim Scott's First in the South Presidential Town Hall Series.
“Our message is tailor made for this state,” Rick Santorum said. “This will be a white-hot state for us when we get here.”
Senator Santorum is the fifth candidate to participate in the series, which brings 2012 Republican presidential candidates to South Carolina for discussions with grassroots voters. Previous town halls have been held in Charleston, Berkeley, and Horry counties.
During a question and answer session with the audience Saturday, Santorum blamed both George W. Bush and Barack Obama for not working harder against Iran. He said he would work together with Israel against Iran if it develops nuclear capability.
“People have to know where America is and what America will do,” he said. “It will rally our allies around us and it will create respect and in some cases fear for those who seek to cross America.”
The issue he said is most important is the economy and he suggests a plan to get it humming again…
“Go to five deductions in the tax code: charities, children, housing, pensions and healthcare. That's it, everything else is gone,” Santorum said. “Then we do one other thing, it's important to South Carolina, and that is we focus on the manufacturing section of the economy.”
