Oh, Ohio, my friend (and I mean that...we've been through a lot over the years) I am not saying that morality does not matter. It does. Without question.
But the majority of Americans hear these soundbites from Santorum and read the media spin and conclude he's out of touch with their problems.
I want headlines with Santorum's name to include: "energy policy" "jobs" or "spending cuts" or "Iran" or "Afghanistan".
We're all convinced Santorum's a moral man. Now he needs to convice all that he has the plans and the "stones" to reverse Obama's course.
That is really my bottom line point.
And, Ohio most important: please know your son will be in my prayers for his success and safe home.
My point is that, regardless of what Santorum says about anything, he will be labeled and attacked by the left, so why should we ask him to not address issues that are important to this country? ALL of them.
He has spent much time talking about the economy, the reprehensible Obamacare, and the media ignores him completely.
We CANNOT let what the left will do with our candidates' words define what we expect them to say. They would be doing the same thing with Gingrich if he were as close to winning the nomination as Santorum is.
They demonize ALL of us, so asking Santorum not to address the lawless Obama administration as he has here, seems to me, to be fighting the wrong battle.
Once again, it is not a matter of making morality a higher priority than the economy. It is addressing all the issues that are problematic with Barack Obama, and his ignoring the law is most definitely among them.
