Santorum to Iowa - Don't Follow, Lead

WVIK Staff

Hoping to repeat his victory of four years ago, republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum started a 50-city final tour of the state over the weekend, leading up to the Iowa caucuses next Monday. 

At a town hall meeting in Davenport Monday, the former US senator from Pennsylvania said there are a lot of good republican candidates this year, saying the right things, but with little or no record of accomplishments.
Santorum says he has a long record of accomplishments in foreign policy, welfare reform, and trying to fix Social Security.

He calls President Obama "delusional" when he says Iran doesn't want to develop nuclear weapons.

We need someone who understands Iran.

And he's proud that ISIS, in an online magazine last year, called him and enemy, and the "Catholic Crusader."

After stops in Burlington and Ottumwa Monday afternoon, Santorum planned to campaign Tuesday in Monticello, Dubuque, Anamosa, and Cedar Rapids.
