With due respect, we are talking elections - which means we are talking government. I agree with you on what is morally right and I’ll agree that we need moral under pinnings for our society to succeed.

BUT, the secular governmental role in that equation is to stay small and out of the way. It is not and CANNOT be the role of government to ram morality down the throats of those who do not agree.

Our Founders - who agreed with you on the moral, knew the sacred right was the right of property, because without the right to property, you can not possibly have liberty or pursuit of happiness.

Rick Santorum is not about keeping government small and out of our way nearly enough for me.

I agree with you and wouldn't want government to ram morality down my throat either. Suppose, as you say, that Santorum is at least a supporter of the status quo. Who, then, is the front runner for the small government vote? Personally, I don't see any of them meeting that criteria and all of them have strong evidence of being equally tainted to the side of big gub’mint solutions. In the end, no matter who gets the nod, you'll still be faced with a status quo congress and federal bureaucracy; not to mention a leftis media, leftist funding (via the fed bureaucrats), leftist think tanks and our leftist academies.

It seems to me that candidates that blather about small government at this time (and do nothing at others) are as useless as tits on a bull. What we really need is a bull in the china shop because things are bound to get broken (need to) one way or another.
