The main problem with Santorum is that he probably is not any where hard enough to do the necessary. Every agency needs to be cleaned out; vast numbers of executive orders need to be rescinded; departments need to be shut down; Democrats need to be investigated and put in jail; the borders need to be sealed and the illegals told to get out, along with their anchor babies; Planned Parenthood needs to be investigated; and a great deal more. Instead, I’m afraid Santorum would say some comforting things, make a few good appointments, and propose some legislation that won’t do much even if it is passed...and that will simply not be enough.

I think he is a fine man, and I’ll vote for him if he is the nominee, but I think that the Rs, as a whole, are cowards. They certainly aren’t warriors.

Every single one of these maroons will lose to Obama. I’m sorry to say it but it seems incredibly obvious to me. Something drastic must be done or else we’ll have four more years of hell...

We need a miracle.

I don't like him skipping over the community reinvestment act and indicting the free market but other than that, it's a good article.

American politics has been shaped by liberal aggression.

That's very true.

I think we need a warrior. My liberal friends are very happy

and one even was nice to me today at work. The rinos will

win then fail to defeat. Media’s job to depress voters.

And pick team they want to fight against. Sorry, Rick will

lose. We are on the path to Obama second term.

Tis the truth. Quit worrying about beating 0. We gotta take the Senate.

It's going to take more than one election. I don't know if you had a chance to hear Mark Levin interviewing Jeff Sessions tonight, they were addressing your very point. The need for conservative warriors.. and lots of them in leadership positions. Sessions was pointing out that 2010 gave us a good class. It just takes a little while for them to get in leadership positions. I would think, simply by observing what is going on that more are on the way, and like they were saying, it takes multiple elections.

The tendency to pile all the problems on one person to solve of course is not really how things work. Santorum would make an fine president. There are many more that would have to help him role all this terrible stuff back.

"How could such an overtly religious and socially conservative politician have so much traction on the national scene? The answer comes from the Left.

It really does, IMHO. A month ago, it was reported that the DemoRat Party had lost 40% of its membership in Washington state. Last night, I heard that Minnesotans will have 40% of DemoRats—plus "Independents"—voting in the Republican Primary!

Our selection process—already experiencing casualties through the Left's death threats—is being torpedoed. :(

Based on what evidence?

Yes, on Huff. Post, they are calling for dems to vote in the Az and Michigan primaries for Rick. Operation Chaos, as they have the title. They are obsessed about his religious views. (before anyone flames me, go read it for yourselves)

It is because Christianity is the only thing which can transform our country back into the One Nation under God-——Virtue is needed in a Republic.

The left is transforming the values of children into a pagan/atheist/Marxist worldview through the secular humanism forced into the classrooms and the immorality normalized in media. They are erasing God.

If someone like Santorum gets in their whole agenda to de-Christianized Western Civilization will be halted for a bit-—and with his pick of judges-—maybe for a while.

We have to take back the minds of our children and grandkids and teach them the Truth and get rid of the TV and atheist public schools.

The Bible was a main part of public schools up until Dewey and the socialists took over. It is Constitutional to teach the Bible and the history of this greatest nation in the public schools-—it always was—until the progressive/atheists/communists got control in the 30’s and 40’s.

Conservative voters trust him not to make a deal with the bulldozer of modern liberalism.

IOW, they trust him not to get bamboozled into sitting on a couch with Nancy Pelosi touting the dangers of global warming.

I agree with you completely. I see Rick had to battle this very same agenda in his Pennsylvania senatorial run, and went down to defeat. History will repeat itself.

Actually, a can of spam can win against the big-eared idiot in the WH.

At that time, many of our very own conservatives had not made their own minds up about global warming so, I can overlook his direction. Some scientists were reporting it was so, others were disputing the data. There were so much confusion for 6/7 difficult years now, It has has been exposed (main victory)

The fact that 0 is playing to win 50% + 1 vote (EV speaking). All the polls support O.

He’s relaxing while we attack each other. These candidates cannot unite the base. Period.

Something better has to happen.

One would think. But half this country is only operating with half of a can of SpaghettiOs.

We’re in a good bit of trouble.

Hope & Changey ain't going to work this time around... and lest people tend to forget the economy and the high unemployment.
Obama is losing support of most Independents and the Democrats are not happy with him either.
