Wrong on all counts. Santorum made plenty of waves and fought for a conservative agenda. He’s nothing like Romney and has tried to get the people to understand what’s at stake with Romneycare.

He won two terms as PA Senator before he lost one. The one he lost was to a favorite son and a year where Republicans took a huge hit.

If you scrutinize any candidate’s records you’re going to find things you disagree with. People are now criticizing Rubio and calling him a RINO and I’m not even sure what their beef is.

Time to stop tearing these guys down. Disagree with their policies but don’t make baseless accusations or projections and don’t insult them personally. That only hurts our cause.

In my case it was Rubio calling for Gingrich to remove a supposedly negative ad but not a peep out of him about Romney's disgraceful ads. I'm Irish and a Taurus so I tend not to forget these type of things.

Rubio does not have the experience to be seriously considered as a VP pick. Barely two years as a senator, where your major job is to vote on bills, does not qualify someone to be president.

Rubio is not constitutionally qualified for POTUS or Veep. Otherwise he is doing a great job right where he is.

The GOP “hit” in 2006 wasn’t anywhere near the 18 point drumming Santorum got.

He ticked off the conservatives that were DYING to get rid of Arlen and elect Toomey and they didn’t vote for him as punishment.
