Mark Levin said that Rick Santorum was one of the most conservative senators in the past 50 years, and very principled.
But yet when Santorum makes a mistake, some people can never forgive, but another politician can make an equally bad mistake, but it just goes over their heads.
And even when Santorum doesn’t do anything wrong, if he is accused of getting something wrong, SOME people have this knee-jerk reaction, and don’t even care about Santorum’s side of the story.
Go figure.
Hey, Sun. I just finished posting to another FReeper who jumped me because I dared to thank a South Carolina voter for choosing Rick Santorum. I love your tag line. Prayer is really needed. But, after reading some of the hateful attacks spewing from the Newt supporters to anyone who dares say they prefer Santorum because he lives what he says, I am beginning to think there actually is not hope for America.
Honor and Integrity used to be the hallmarks of this country. The Newt supporters are convincing themselves that because *in this moment* Newt is behaving with honor and integrity, that he will always behave that way, even though his past, including his recent past, says otherwise.
I don’t dislike Newt. I dislike all the things he’s done in the past. I don’t trust him.
I am not a Romney supporter, and will not vote for him, no matter what, but, Newt was wrong on Bain and Perry went down, because he jumped in on it with both feet. Santorum, again, showed wisdom and hung back and assessed. As a result, he survived to play another day.
Newt is a “smooth operator”, a strategist, and he is intelligent. People in battle with him, underestimate him. I don’t. But that is not what I want to represent me and my family. I want honor and integrity with a firm reliance on Divine Providence. That is why I am voting for Santorum.
