The 2 statements don't go together. I actually think we're on the same page though. I don't go around bashing Santorum, and I will vote for him, but my enthusiasm has taken a hit over the last couple of years. You sounds like yours has too.
I was responding to someone who claims he is a compromiser. well, heck, every good politician does some of that, and its not necessarily bad. However, Santorum is less of a compromiser than, say, Hatch, Frist, Stevens, Dole, DeWine, etc.
I stand by my claim that Santorum is in our "TOP TEN" of good conservative Senators. My enthusiasm is not diminished at all, but I am fearful that we will lose him if we don't get our act together and rally around his re-election.
