Oh, spare me. The MSM lies about conservatives with impunity, and you know better.
Make the case why Newt is better than Santorum. I belive that myself.
However, the 2005 attacks against Santorum were part of an orchestrated Dem attack on him to peel away his support by pro-life Dems, since that was vital to Santorum's forumla for winning statewide in PA. I know, I live here. I know the trash sources being cited. You should read City Paper some time - they basically paint Republicans as demons and are pro-gay, pro-abort, anti-gun and pro-welfare. Is that the kind of source you want to be citing?
This is just a small example of what the Left has on Santorum. And they are actually holding back, since there is a real an concerted effort on their side to get Santorum nominated. They have been pranking the primaries in several Open states to do just that. Michigan, Alabama, Mississippi, and any open state for that matter.
I understand your trying to defend Santorum, but what is in store for our side if he gets the nomination, will prove to be a disaster. I firmly believe that.
As far as Newt's record, that is not necessary. Newt's record speaks for itself. His personal issues should not be a factor, but many here have made the primary factor.
On the other hand, all this blind support for a candidate who can do no wrong, when he is not at all, what he is being promoted as being, is why I go out of my way to present facts that prove otherwise.
