The more I read comments about Santorum by Newt supporters (and I am one), the more I feel called upon to defend him against some of the ridiculous charges.
He is a conservative. The occasional vote we didn’t like during two senate terms does not change that.
He did not use his sick little child as a campaign prop. That is nonsense and sick in itself.
He doesn’t knock your socks off but if he gets the nomination, I will support him happily.
I like Santorum, and truly believe he is a decent man. My only big issue with him is that he does not seem to demonstrate that he has any real leadership abilities at all.
We need a conservative president who will march into the White House and not play along with the GOG establishment there.
He has simply not demonstrated to me that he is that kind of a guy. He doesn't strike me as a man with a real plan.
I'd like to see him publish real step-by-step plans about resolving the issue we have, instead of simply stating he is not like Obama, Newt or Romney. When he does, he will easily beat Obama if he were to get the nomination.
For now, I am sticking it out with Newt, until it becomes obvious that he cannot win the nomination. I am not sure of that, yet. Things change from week to week, it seems.
