Rifts still remain from the primaries, if the reaction to former Sen. Rick Santorum at tonight’s Republican National Convention is any indicator. Santorum’s arrival onstage received a half-standing ovation, and loud cheers of “Rick, Rick, Rick” from his fans. Santorum’s speech was warmly received, though, and after introducing his family, he went right into his most popular talking point: strengthening the American family. Mitt Romney, said Santorum, stands for the traditional American family. He also hit Obama hard on his gutting of welfare reform. “There is one key to success,” said Santorum. “Hard work. That’s why work was the centerpiece of the bipartisan campaign reform law …. But President Obama’s policies undermine the traditional family, weaken the traditional family …. He believes in government handouts and dependency.” Santorum said, “President Obama rules like he is above the law. Americans take heed. When a president can simply give a speech or write a memo and change the law to do what the law says he cannot do, we will no longer be a republic.” And Santorum didn’t shy away from social issues. After telling the story of his daughter, Bella, afflicted with Trisomy 18, whom the Santorums chose to give the gift of life, Santorum concluded, “I thank God that America still has one party that reaches out their hand in love to all children born and unborn.” When Santorum left, he received a full standing ovation.

Santorum to Romney: Use ‘potent weapon’ of gay marriage

Via CNN, Rick Santorum urged Mitt Romney to make political hay of President Obama’s gay marriage comments: “This is a very potent weapon, if you will, for Governor Romney if he’s willing to step up and take advantage of a president who is very much out of touch with the values of America,” Santorum said in an eye-opening live interview with Arkansas TV station KARK, a CNN affiliate. The former presidential candidate made the remarks before appearing at the Benton County Republican Lincoln Day Dinner in the northwest corner of the state Friday night. Santorum’s comments also came the night before Romney’s speech before the Christian conservative Liberty University in Virginia on Saturday. Romney’s one time rival noted the recent results of a ballot issue in North Carolina where voters approved a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. “Hopefully Governor Romney will continue to stand tall for his position on this issue and understand how detrimental it would be for society for it to have this changed,” Santorum also told the Arkansas station. “Governor Romney has to talk about his values,” he added. “That’s the most important thing.” In addition to underscoring how tepid his endorsement of Romney was, Santorum’s comments diverge from how Romneyland and much of the GOP establishment has sought to handle the issue. They’ve accused Obama of playing politics and suggested it’s a deliberate distraction from the economy.

Former GOP presidential hopeful Rick Santorum paid a visit to Jay Leno ‘s show Tuesday night, where he was asked about his email endorsement of former rival Mitt Romney as well as about same-sex marriage. Clad in his signature sweater vest (and after having given one to Leno as a gift), Santorum described his late-night email — where he offered an endorsement to Romney around paragraph 13 — as “a letter to my supporters, who were for me to say, ‘well, here is now why i think we should, you know, rally around Mitt Romney and support him.’” Leno then reminded Santorum that he’d once referred to Romney as “the worst Republican we could have against Obama. “Well, I said that with respect to the issue of ObamaCare,” Santorum clarified. He also shared that he’d sent the email late at night so that it’d be the first thing people talked about the next day. RELATED:Joe Scarborough Bashes Rick Santorum’s Tepid Romney Endorsement: ‘Be A Man’ In the second part of their interview, Leno got the socially conservative Santorum talking about same-sex marriage, with Leno telling him that even if Romney and President Obama might say they’re against gay marriage, Santorum is really against him. Santorum explained that a man and a woman each play unique, necessary parts when it comes to a relationship or parenting and that, as he sees it, the best thing for children is to have one mother and one father. Later, he clarified that while contraception d
