Super Tuesday: Santorum says GOP needs to present 'clear choice' in Ohio Reporting from Chillicothe, Ohio - Arguing that he was the anti-establishment candidate who would offer the clearest contrast against President Obama, Rick Santorum on Friday urged Ohioans to support him in the critical primary that is four days away. This election, we need a choice. We need a choice. We don't need a choice between Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dee," he told several hundred people in a high school gymnasium here. We need a clear choice. ... If we're going to win this election, and just as importantly, if we are going to govern with the mandate from the people to do the scale of change that is necessary, to return the power to you and balance our budget, to put Washington under control again, we will need a candidate that will make that contrast clear on the important issues of the day. He said he was the only candidate who could effectively challenge President Obama's healthcare law, because he had not supported mandates as rivals Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich had. And he argued that the law was not about providing access to medical care, but was a broad assault on individual liberty. "It's about imposing the government's will on the American people and people of faith," he said. It is saying the state trumps faith, the state trumps conscience. That's what this issue is about. He said such benefits are meant to create dependency. When the president of the United States says, 'I'm giving you a right,' be very careful. Be afraid," he said. Every right the president can give you he can threaten to take away. He urged voters not to listen to those who say they must nominate a moderate to be competitive in the fall. "We're running a grass-roots insurgent campaign against the big boys in Washington, D.C., and the folks who are trying, always trying to figure out a way they can get someone who agrees with them, who isn't going to make big changes in Washington, D.C.," he said. We need big changes in Washington, and there's one candidate that can deliver. That's why I'm so excited about what's going on here in Ohio. The former Pennsylvania senator noted that he raised $9 million in February, with two-thirds coming from small-dollar donors. "This is a grass-roots effort of people concerned about the direction of our country," he said.
