From last June:
Former Senator Rick Santorum (R-Penn.), who officially announced his candidacy for the presidency on Monday, wants to first phase out ethanol subsidies and then have the government provide incentives for flex-fueling stations.http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/politics/blogs/republicans-continue-to-do-the-ethanol-dance
My view is that in the big picture, ethanol is not that important of an issue. Let's get a good leader with the right values elected, then educate him if necessary.
Rick Santorum looks very good to me, CERTAINLY as the only viable alternative to Newt McRomney.
Rick Perry had his chance...he is toast for this cycle. I wish he'd drop out.
FreeRepublic is a better one as it appears Santorum did cozy up to the ethanolfare recipients & that might be the reason he clobbered Perry in Iowa.
Santorum will remain my second choice
One of the "right values" is that taxpayer money not be spent on private energy markets to suit a politician's whims. Anyone who requires educating on that principle will not be my preferred choice for president.
