“BTW, for how many decades did you support federal individual mandates under penalty of law?”

Newt doesn’t support the individual mandate. You’re the one choosing to call a conservative a liar on this, even after he has come out against it.

“Lol, obviously. It seems to be an inate charecteristic of Newt supporters that they can dish it out but anything returned in kind results in immediate whining and bleating.”

No Santorumbot has ever defended Santorum’s platform with me, no matter how many times I’ve challenged them on it. The conclusion is that they simply don’t care about it.

Newt supported the mandate for nearly two decades. He saw the light when he decided to run. I’m not much impressed with death bed confessions so to speak. And if you claim he did not support the mandate then it is you who is the liar.

The mandate is as unconstitutional as Obama ordering religious groups to provide that which offends their consciences to their employees. Both Santorum and Newt are on the right side of that issue. You, I have my doubts.

Newt and Santorum have virtually identical ratings from the ACU with Santorum representing a blue state and Newt representing a deep red state. And only one of them that I know of has supported a policy that is clearly unconstitutional no matter what SCOTUS says.

As for your attacks on Santorums social conservatism only liberals react like demons who have been dipped in holy water. And you’re smoking pal.
