I love Santorum. And he is the number one conservative coming out of NH. He will win SC and do well in FL. He is on a roll. He is authentic and real. He has been married for many years with 7 children. And I am a guy who is married many years with four kids and I think Rick Santorum is so moral which is what is needed after 3 years of immoral activity in the White House.
LOL. Just as I’ve sarcastically ridiculed before, Santorum supporters apparently think having a consistent marriage is the #1 most important trait in a leader.
Sigh. Excuse me while I go join FR’s “We are so screwed” chorus.
Yeah, but you forgot to say that you believe in the tooth fairy also.
Who gives a crap about how many years he has been married or how many kids he has? He’s not running for husband or father of the year. CAN HE BEAT BARRY SOETORO and what are his solutions for undoing the damage Hussein has done? That’s what I care about.
As I said, people like Santorum because they like his personal life. I just don’t think his ideas are very good (remember, he was in the Senate for a number of years and went along with every big government thing there was, objecting only to programs involving abortion). And I just don’t find him a very good or convincing speaker, and he has a tendency to start scolding people from the height of his moral position which I think is not going to be much of a seller outside of some conservative circles.
My feeling is that Perry would have been better than Santorum if what people think is most important is that the candidate has had only one wife. I think Perry’s ideas were more creative and convincing than Santorum’s and Perry is not a Washington insider used to going along to get along, as Santorum was.
Still, I think the best would be Gingrich: he has the best ideas and the best ability to defend them. What’s more, the Republican establishment hates him.
As for his marriages, his first wife was one of his high school teachers, somebody we would nowadays have thrown in jail for molesting him. He was a lonely, overweight military brat who was 16 or 17 at the time and she was about 15 years older. The later divorce was at her request. The second was obviously a rebound marriage, and the third one is the one that he has been in for some time now and which seems quite happy. Sometimes things don’t work out the way we hoped they would.
