“Social concerns are not as important to voters as they are here on FR.”

Agreed. The fact is that people want to be left alone. Even if Santorum had the right message (I’d say it’s maybe 50/50), his anger in every sentence defies him and that message. I spoke with a friend the other day who lives in, I believe TN, (I’m not sure, but it’s that area), and I mentioned that I was watching the debate. My friend said, “I hope you don’t like Santorum. Every time I listen to him speak, I get the impression that he’s disturbed, and has some deep-seated personal issues. Maybe he does, or maybe he doesn’t, but in my life, anyone who is that angry, that much of the time, has personal issues. I have to go with my personal experience on that one.” (That’s almost verbatim.)

I never cared for Santorum after his comments that amounted to “The Tenth Amendment doesn’t exist unless I say it does,” in the initial debates. However, he did put on a good face for Iowa. However, that arrogant anger came right back in the last debate. I literally had to turn it off because I couldn’t stand to listen to him anymore. It was that bad.

lol, I was typing to you as you were typing to me. My experience in ‘my’ world is about the same as what you have described realtive to what people think about Santorum. It would not take much for the lame stream media and ‘plants’ to pose questions and cause Santorum to self destruct. Goodness, he was booed badly at one NH event, and it WILL happen again and again. Have a good day.

Santorum is unacceptable to me. I cannot abide his I, I, I, me, me, me petulance and anger. He's a big government, establishment neocon statist and borderline theocrat. He's like Obama with a social conservative message and less charm. NO THANKS!

Those flocking to him on his SoCon message better start looking deeper at his proposals and voting record. I'm quite angry at the so-called "tradition" of imbecilic early voters foisting a nominee on the rest of us.
