Rick Santorum: The Right Man At The Right Time

The Right Elective Decisions ^ | 12/14/2012 | Chris Davis

I am a big fan of Michele Bachmann, and I supported her candidacy for President of the United States. When she dropped out, I was forced to survey the field. I immediately ruled out Mitt Romney and Ron Paul – neither of which are conservatives. That left me with three people: Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum. But who would I vote for when the primary came to my state?

I knew of Newt Gingrich’s record in the U.S. House of Representatives and Rick Perry’s record in Texas, but all I knew about Rick Santorum was that he was a solid social conservative. But where did that leave him on fiscal affairs? So that meant doing research – listening to hours and hours of You Tube clips from the candidate and reading everything I could get on his policy positions and voting record. What it didn’t mean was surfing the internet for other people’s opinion on the candidates. I could get all of that I wanted in the mainstream media and none of those were good opinions.

For those interested ping!

Rick is a very nice person but he’d make a weak presidential candidate.

The Right Man At The Right Time

True statement... If your talking about ensuring Romney gets the nomination...

[writer33]

Who are you for and why should that candidate be POTUS?

[Parley Baer]

IMHO it is Newt who is the right man for the job. He will get things done in Washington.

[writer33]

Fair enough.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Bumping that question, Chris. I’d like to know too.

[writer33]

Thanks for the bump, BG. And I’ll raise you another bump and call. :-)

I can understand the compromise Santorum had to make regarding Snarlin’ Arlen. I cannot understand what Newt expected to gain from endorsing Scuzzyfava or cozing up with Hitlery, Al Gwhore, Jean-Fraud Kerry and Natzi Pelosi, or the race-baiting poverty pimp Al Sharpton. That smells of sellout to me.

I can understand the compromise Santorum had to make regarding Snarlin’ Arlen.

If Baron's account is accurate and Barone usually is, then he owed Specter for getting him across the finish line. Plus, we got two conservatives on the Supreme Court. In Santorum's opinion it was worth it, and he made that sacrifice knowing what it would mean for him with conservatives.

Newt isn’t just the right man, he is the man. I like santorum all right but Newt is twice the candidate.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Well....NOT being a betting woman and all...

Hope all’s well with you, Chris! ;)

[writer33]

All is well, non-betting woman. :-)

[Brad’s Gramma]
