Santorum: ‘It should be illegal to read off a teleprompter’ [View all]

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/12/santorum-it-should-be-illegal-to-read-off-a-teleprompter/

In Rick Santorum’s perspective, no presidential candidate should ever be allowed to use a teleprompter on the campaign trail.

The former Pennsylvania senator expressed his unorthodox view in his latest attack of the speech reading device Sunday afternoon, according to CNN. While campaigning at a restaurant in Gulfport, Mississippi, Santorum questioned the authenticity of any candidate using a teleprompter.
