[C. Edmund Wright]

By what measure do estimate conservatism? With all the PACs and advocacy groups (each with a very narrow self-interest) we concoct a wide range of voter aids by which we bolster or demolish one another. A case in point would be the NRA’s foolish and shortsighted endorsement of the miserable and treasonous Harry Reid.

Agree on the NRA and Reid. But where I would close the loop is that in the case of Santorum, the social ONLY conservatives are like the NRA and Santorum is like Reid in the analogy. Santorum is Huckabee. Very very outspoken on social conservatism but a rather poor conservative on almost all other domestic issues. Not who we need for 2012, where issues of big government and the economy and over all liberty is the crushing combo of issues.

Our liberty is built upon our moral foundations and I’m pretty sure Santorum does not want the gub’mint to administer morality. In an age of moral collapse, simpy reducing gub’mint will not secure our freedoms either - it will only foster greed and crime. We need a moral regeneration in this country first - IMO.
