Until recently I was a huge fan of Rick Santorum. I thought he was one of the great Conservative heroes. I was wrong!!!!
He has gratuitously disparaged Governor Perry on and off the debate stage. Santorum made Perry’s support of in-state tuition for illegals into a “subsidy” for illegals, when in fact, there is no “subsidy”. An illegal seeking access to a Texas University must satisfy residency requirements and have made active application for citizenship. (Illegals are given access to Pennsylvania colleges and universities)
Most recently Santorum seemed compelled to make a comment on the Perry hunting camp when he could have either said nothing or pointed to the absurdity of the dredged-up, unsubstantiated story. Santorum violated Ronald Reagan’s 11th rule for Republicans which is not to disparage fellow Republicans.
Santorum’s patterns and themes suggest that he is either a “stalking horse” or just incredibly sanctimonious...maybe both!
Give the people of Iowa the benefit of the doubt wherein they have seen a difference between sanctimony and social conservatism.
Well said. I always liked Santorum until he started bashing his fellow Republicans in a very nasty way.
