I find Santorum's judgement to be very questionable and not just his endorsements but for example his legislation with Lieberman and Hillary to conduct a study on the effects watching tv has on children to the tune of 90 MILLION dollars of taxpayers money! and don't forget the bridge to nowhere and voting to raise the debt ceiling, congressional pay hikes. America is broke! we need Newt!
The argument that women will not vote for Newt is a fallacy. Working women, young women who use birth control and single mothers will not vote for Santorum and his nosy nanny preaching.
There is one demographic that is rarely cited to refute the ‘electibility factor’. ‘THE MALE VOTER’.
IMHO men can identify with Newt on many levels; his effort, his successes and failures, his creative solutions and hard work ethic and paying for errors in judgement - both personal and professional - and the courage to admit them.
“Newt’s record as Speaker of the House was excellent. No one comes close to the great accomplishments of Gingrich.”
Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 1998; U.S. representative from Georgia from 1979 to 1998
Newt Gingrich has a long record of pro-life.
As a member of Congress, Gingrich voted 70 times to 71, 98.7% pro-life.
He voted 10 times to bar the city of Washington, D.C., to provide money for abortions.
He voted to eliminate the nation’s family-planning program, Title X. This is the same attack that the U.S. House of Representatives advanced in 2011. (Santorum voted NO)
Gingrich promises to be an active pro-life president:
“You had a great speaker last year in Mike Pence and I want to say I strongly endorse his cutting out all funding for Planned Parenthood, which has become a major source of abortion in America.”
He promised to reinstate Ronald Reagan “Mexico” bill - no American money for abortion programs in foreign countries.
