At this point in time we need a fiscal conservative like Newt, not a one issue social conservative like Rick.

Yeah, Newt's continued support of ethanol subsidies, incentives for green vehicles, and whole new federal agencies are just what America needs. LOL

Behold the words of Rick Santorum:

"What we need is a government mandate! We need to mandate that all cars sold in the United States, starting with the 2010 model year, be 'flex-fuel vehicles' - that is, they should be able to run on a blend that is 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline (the so-called E85 blend), or even a coal-derived methanol/gas mixture. This mandate would cost a fraction of the new fuel economy standard with the added benefit of saving barrels more oil."

Reducing U.S. oil appetite This is one cause that could be helped by smart mandates and taxing, op-ed by Rick Santorum, Philadelphia Enquirer, January 31, 2008

That's what I love about Santorum supporters. They never bother to research their candidate of choice, and they always end up looking ignorant. Can you say "hubris?" I know you can...

Is that any worse than Santorums refusal to cut the waste going to the NEA? In fact he voted to increase spending. Or his vote to take revenue from gas taxes to subsidize Amtrak?
At least Newt is not going to vote against a person's right to work.
