Santorum isn't a liberal by any stretch. That said Santorum doesn't understand the Constitution.
Santorum:
"The rights within our Constitution, they are not unlimited rights. There is and can be limitations on them...There are limitations to all freedoms. There are not absolute rights."
And he's no Ronald Reagan....
Santorum:
This whole idea of personal autonomy, well I dont think most conservatives hold that point of view. Some do. They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldnt get involved in the bedroom, we shouldnt get involved in cultural issues. You know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world and I think most conservatives understand that individuals cant go it alone.
Reagan:
"I'm convinced that today the majority of Americans want what those first Americans wanted: A better life for themselves and their children; a minimum of government authority. Very simply, they want to be left alone in peace and safety to take care of the family by earning an honest dollar and putting away some savings. This may not sound too exciting, but there is something magnificent about it. On the farm, on the street corner, in the factory and in the kitchen, millions of us ask nothing more, but certainly nothing less than to live our own lives according to our values at peace with ourselves, our neighbors and the world.
And Rick's long voting record, voting liberal on a bunch of issues confirms his above philosophy.
You Rick'sters have really screwed it up for all of us.
You Rick’sters have really screwed it up for all of us.
That is completely ridiculous. Most people have not even voted yet. What Rick has done is express his principles to those who have voted and they liked what they saw and heard from him. It is not up to us to “square away” a candidate. That is up to the candidate and staff themselves. If anyone has not been passing the mustard than that is the fault of ONLY the candidate and his staff. To blame the miraculous and incredibly great things happening with Santorum on us is great but not accurate. I am so honored you think so though.
