No, I don’t.
I think he’s just as bad on the big government issue, just for different purposes.
Romney wants big government to pad the wallets of favored businesses. Whereas Santorum would like to use it to force his ideals on morality on us. (Fortunately, they are normal ideals on morality, though. The issue of governmental force to make people conform, however, is an anathema to everything this country was founded on.)
Liberals force their immorality on us and our kids and makes us pay for it.
Is undoing that is just as bad?
“Whereas Santorum would like to use it to force his ideals on morality on us.”
To say that Santorum wants to “force his ideals” on anyone is prosaic, melodramatic and emotional nonsense - spread by the left in order to mitigate Santorum and protect their dream candidate socialist Romney.
It’s like saying Santorum doing what he can to stop babies from infanticide is “forcing his ideals” on poor people. What we strive to do EVERY DAY AS CONSERVATIVES is force ideals - the ideals of our FOUNDING FATHERS expatiated in the Declaration, in the Constitution and all the way back to the Mayflower Compact.
THOSE are the ideals that Santorum AND Newt are tying to force? Hell yes. And the day we stop is the day America is most certainly dead.
