The issue is his bringing it up to make it look like he feels for the regular Joes. I have no sympathy for easy credit and easy mortgages that people get in over their head with and are not prepared for the worst.
The issue I see with it, is not that he has a 2 million dollar house or that he took out a large mortgage.
I’ve seen his house and it’s a nice house.
Imagine the ads that the Dems could take out on Santorum, using his words about feeling the pain of the common man and then, in the ad, doing a fly-by of the house and asking the question, “Does this look like the house of a man who can feel your pain of losing your house?”
He’d be far better off trying to tell us how he’d solve the housing problem, using conservative principles and not worry about trying to feel our pain.
I’m not saying that because I’m jealous of his house, but I know how the Dems would use his words against him.
