Not popular around here, I know, but I supported him in 2012. No regrets. I would gladly support him in 2016 if he is the nominee. I haven’t settled on a top choice yet. I also have Cruz, Palin, Jindal, and Pence on my radar. But I want a solid social conservative. You may not like him, but Santorum has walked the walk. Social conservatives recognize this. He has taken the arrows. I won’t bad mouth him here.
Rick:
Go away.
Cruz speaking the truth is not ‘bomb throwing’.
After Cain dropped out, I supported Santorum. Compared to Romney, Santorum is William F. Buckley.
And I won’t bad mouth him either.
Can you explain why he was always dedicated to getting and keeping the radical pro-abortionist Arlen Specter front and center in office, and campaigned for him when he ran for president on a platform to end the GOP as a pro-life party?
Why was Santorum, who switched to pro-life to run for political office, who married a live in girlfriend of an abortion doctor, who mocked Reagan supporters, so dedicated to Specter, until finally, Specter had to switch to the democrat party in 2009 to end that support and refund Santorum’s money contributed for his 2010 Senate run, why did Specter?
Santorum was not only booted from office by 17.4% in an astounding wipeout for anyone, especially the incumbent, but something is not right with the man, behind his facade.
Santorum did support Medicare Part-D and No Child Left Behind.
To his credit he did tell Iowa farmers that he would end Ethanol Subsidies.
Santorum has little charisma. It is a factor in firing up people to vote.
Ted Cruz is miles ahead on Santorum on reverence for the Constitution.
All around Cruz is a superior candidate.
“He has taken the arrows. I won’t bad mouth him here.”
And neither will I.
You do realize that Santorum endorsed and actively campaigned for Arlen The Spectre over Pat Toomey the year before The Spectre switched to the RAT Communist party.
That was a huge betrayal of conservatives by Santorum and I will never ever forget it.
