He hasn’t earned it. Santorum did.
If Santorum is running for Romney to win - why has he beaten Romney 7 times so far?
From what I can see, it’s just the opposite. Newt is helping Romney win states that he otherwise would win. Newt has cost team conservative 4 states while bringing home the bacon in 2. He’s a liability.
Does he have the delates to prove he's beaten Romney? NO. He is in the race to take away from the conservative in the race - Newt. Mitt knew he needed some buffers on his side to win - and right now santorum is that buffer. Santorum has NO record to run on.
Don't ignore the fact that santorum campaigned for Mitt - now mitt is using him in the race.
And now he's staying on social conservative values when Rick didn't give a flip about them and campaigned for the ONLY candidate who was pro abortion and against traditional marriage, Mitt.
He standing now for values he didn't give a flip about earlier - this values are surface!! And can be bought. But he can't run on his BIG gov't spending record.
And as much as he's crying about Romneycare NOW - he embraced it when he wasn't running.
He's just a 'take one for the team' GOP E slackly who will flip flop with whatever they want for his political gain. And his record proves it. It's not hearsay but TRUTH and he will FOOL anyone that can be FOOLED. He's a liar about Newt and a liar to America voters and a POS.
