” I don’t want to have to put the plethora of examples where he was in fact a game changer, for the liberals, against the Republicans. “ <<<<
No, please do! I want to see your plethora of examples as soon as possible, you know, where it was in that process of sweeping the House with Republicans for the first time in 40 years, under a Democrat president, do tell, where Newt was advantaging the liberals, and place Santorum side by side with that.
Your guy owes his entire career to the Establishment, and proved his usefulness to them as the hot head liberal he was against Toomey. The list is plethoric of Santorum hurting conservatives directly and their causes.
That plethora has been posted a dozen times on FR. Shall I roust it up for you?
Pushed individual mandate.
Amnesty for illegals
Global warming supporter
co sponsored something like 400 bills with Pelosi
Promoted cap and trade back in ‘07.
Supported wall street bail-out
Supported TARP.
Non of those are deal breakers, I still like Newt and it really is between him and Santorum imo. I personally like Santorum, but would have absolutely no problem voting for Gingrich if the opportunity presented itself. I simply do not like characterizing Santorum as the fake conservative in the mix to usurp the “true conservative” so Romney can win the nomination theory so rampant on these forums.
