I like Scott Walker, and also believe he’s more conservative than Carly. However, I’m still researching them all, and am learning like the rest of us, little by little.

btw, when I clicked on an anti-life website, they had a petition to sign which was against Cruz and Santorum, which made me proud they are on my short list.

Of course, they are not perfect either, but no one is.

I was for Santorum in 2012. I'm leaning Walker at this time, Cruz would be my second favorite, but haven't endorsed any candidate at this point.

That being said, the double standards the media gives Santorum vs. Fiorina is ridiculous, and its sad to see freepers go along with it and drink the kool-aid.

Santorum had a long successful political career before losing a Senate race in a Dem state by double digits in 2006. The media treats Santorum as an embarassing joke. Fiorina had a long unsuccessful career in private sector and political agenda before losing a Senate race in a Dem state by double digits in 2010. The media treats her as a rising conservative star and top prospect for veep.

Santorum had a long track record in the conservative wing of the party, though endorsing his home state senator Specter after Bush twisted his arm, and endorsing Romney in 2012 after the only alternatives left were McCain and Huckabee (90% of freepers did likewise at the time) were poor decisions. Fiorina had a long track record in the center-right wing of the party, so endorsing RINOs and volunteering to be an adviser for the McCain & Romney campaigns were poor decisions that were not surprising coming from her. Santorum gets crucified for his last minute Romney endorsement, while Fiorina being tied to the hip of Romney & McCain gets swept under the rug because she's a "fighter".

Candidates like Trump and Fiorina are detractions from the real conservatives in the race. I hope they don't last long in the primary.
