There is little question that with Santorum we risk setting the focus on social issues when we are at grave risk of spending ourselves into oblivion and falling for Marxist “solutions” to our economic problems. Rick’s signature issue is abortion. An important issue no doubt, but getting the economy back on track by removing the huge number of Obama sponsored disincentives to progress on that front has to be Job One.
Food for thought.
All Santorum has to do is to not fall for the trap. When media schmos try to query him into giving Obama sound bites for his ads, Santo has to turn it around, and laugh and mock if appropriate.
Examples:
“But we aren’t talking about banning birth control here, George. No one is. Birth control is available anywhere, including at the pharmacy two blocks from here.. We are talking about supporting American families who are trying to stay ahead of the taxman...”
“No, Diane, we are not talking about hurting women here. We are talking about supporting women, and their families or partners, in being able to support whatever lifestyle they choose, including the choice to bear children...”
“Chris, all legal lifestyles are possible in this country. Every man who’s been elected President has had his own lifestyle — [chuckle] and we have seen ALL kinds — and we do not expect the President to push his own lifestyle on every American person! [chuckle] We all have the right to choose our own way of life, Chris, even me. [big smile]”
