This is the trouble with a potential Santorum nomination. Rather than talking about the economy and making sure the election is a referendum on Obama’s utter failure, we would be gifted with Rick’s moralizing on the hazards of gambling, birth control, etc. I expect a priest, minister, parent, etc, to spend time on those things, not a President. It’s a trap Santorum can’t escape from either because he WANTS to talk about those things. Every moment we are talking about contraception or the evils of gambling, is a wasted moment and will lead to our defeat.
Yes enough with the lecture on morals all the time. I don’t need my president imposing his morals on me. You’re against abortion, yay we get it. You have 8 kids, yay we get it. You’re old-fashioned, yay we get it. Focus on the big picture. Jeesh.
Amen.
Who knows where we'd be right now if there hadn't been so many "conservatives" moralizing against, and fighting to take down, Sarah Palin over the past two years.
I see a lot of them now joining folks like me in supporting Newt, but I can't help but look at them sideways because IMO, a big part of the reason we have a candidate with so many "he's unelectable!" flaws as Newt, is because so many "conservatives" fought so bitterly to nip in the bud any prospective candidacy of Sarah Palin. And many tried to justify it on the grounds that her perceived flaws made her unelectable. It's just one of those ironies I'm observing on FR.
GODSPEED NEWT GINGRICH.
“Every moment we are talking about contraception or the evils of gambling, is a wasted moment and will lead to our defeat.”
I agree. Whoever the Republican nominee is, he should pick a couple of the most important things that need fixing now and focus on them.
