Santorum and Romney Clash

Argue over earmarks.

The Arizona Republican debate got off to a feisty start Wednesday evening as Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum went head-to-head on taxes and spending. Exchanging blows, Santorum accused Romney of taking up the rhetoric of Occupy Wall Street. “I’m going to represent 100 percent of Americans,” Santorum said. “We’re not raising taxes on anybody.” They also clashed on earmarks. Romney got a chance to fire back after Santorum gave a lengthy history of his earmarks, saying, “While I was fighting to save the Olympics, you were fighting to save the Bridge to Nowhere.” Santorum retorted that Mitt doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich (who’s still in the race, mind you) thinks that everyone’s just being foolish.
