“Rick Santorum is a big government statist. He belongs in the Democrat Party.”

Specious reasoning. Rick Santorum is both a Social and National Defense conservative. That is not in anyway being a “Democrat.” The Tea Party is kidding itself if it thinks the size of government is going to shrink. At best it will stabilize. The problem with attempting to “shrink” the government is that those institutions that should be left alone (Army, Navy, etc.) get shrunk as well.

A specious point if you turn a blind eye to the erosion of Conservatism.

I never said Rick was a Liberal or Leftist. He is, nonetheless, a big government statist; a Democrat, or something the “Democrats” should return to.

Wow. Finally some honesty. I hope all Tea Party supporters here backing Santorum are paying attention.
