Yeah, a RINO. Only a RINO would say this -
"This whole idea of personal autonomy, well I dont think most conservatives hold that point of view. Some do. They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldnt get involved in the bedroom, we shouldnt get involved in cultural issues. You know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world and I think most conservatives understand that individuals cant go it alone."
Santorum's comments concerning George Zimmerman raise all sorts of red RINO flags.
His support of Arlen Specter - more red RINO flags.
This is written about the RINO -
"In his book he comments, seemingly with a shrug, Some will reject what I have to say as a kind of Big Government conservatism.
They sure will. A list of the government interventions that Santorum endorses includes national service, promotion of prison ministries, individual development accounts, publicly financed trust funds for children, community-investment incentives, strengthened obscenity enforcement, covenant marriage, assorted tax breaks, economic literacy programs in every school in America (his italics), and more. Lots more."

More on the great "conservative" Santorum -
The evidence does show that Santorum was opposed to ethanol before 9/11. Twice, in 1997 and 1998, Santorum voted to end ethanol subsidies. And the evidence also shows that, at times, he was supportive of an ethanol mandate after 9/11. But in 2005, Santorum voted to end the ethanol mandate. If the original flip-flop was a principled stand taken by Santorum because of national security concerns, were at a loss to explain this flip-flop-flip-again vote.
In the same 50 Things campaign brochure, Santorum boasts about sponsoring a bill to regulate price gouging and unfair pricing by the big oil companies. This contradicts his opposition to a windfall profits tax that Democrats tried to impose on oil companies in 2005. He also voted YES on Sarbanes-Oxley, which was an overreaching bill that tried to tighten accounting regulations following the Enron scandal.

So don't give me that crap about good ole saint Rick. It's all hogwash. Abortion is the only reason you sided with Santorum....a one trick pony, a single issue voter who is going to try their best to get Obama re-elected.
