It does sum up his support fairly well. A large number of people want someone they believe they can trust first and foremost.
More excerpts from the article, which is really worth a read..
“My wife’s friend pointed out to this extremely nice conservative lady that A) A President couldn’t pass a Federal anti-gay marriage Amendment only the states could, and B) that had nothing to do with the top 20 most important functions of a President. She AGAIN asked this lady what had Santorum had done to turn any economy around, get rid of government programs or unravel the messes of BOTH Bush and Obama?
“I don’t know how Santorum has done it, but he has completely hoodwinked these people into thinking religion is the #1 issue facing our country. She finally agreed that the economy and government control over EVERYTHING was the biggest threat our country faced. When I asked her who would do the most damage to kicking liberals out of Washington she looked like she was shocked at her own answer. Newt Gingrich.””
“... Unfortunately, just as those sensitive to race were dead wrong in thinking that Obama would HELP race relations, the truth is that Santorum’s approach as a fire brand preacher will end up dividing Americans even more, not winning them to his cause.”
However, Santorum married a woman that slept (out of wedlock) with a man 40 yrs her senior and an abortion doctor at that...so should we forgive her sins? was she moral? her affair went on for six years.
