Santorum: We should repeal all the federal government’s role in primary and secondary education.

Most hypocritical:

Perry: Telling Washington to leave the states alone after taking $24.2 billion in stimulus money...

Romney: The President doesn’t have a jobs plan yet. [Pssst….http://www.americanjobsact.com/]

In the 2009-2010 cycle, EMILY’s List raised more than $38.5 million to support its mission of recruiting and supporting women candidates, helping them build strong campaigns, and mobilizing women voters to turn out and vote. With a community of more than 900,000 members across the country, EMILY’s List is one of the largest political action committees in the nation. Since its founding in 1985, EMILY’s List has worked to elect 86 pro-choice Democratic women to the U.S. House, 16 to the U.S. Senate, nine governors, and hundreds of women to the state legislatures, state constitutional offices, and other key local offices. In the 2009-2010 cycle, EMILY’s List had the largest number of members and donors in our 25 year history.
