Yours. Maybe Rick could ask Obama to create a “Morals Czar” position for him. Then his supporters here could drop any pretense about limited government. They’re primarily nanny staters that want their guy in the White House hence their OVERWHELMING focus on Newt’s personal life, and his alleged moral shortcomings.

Yes...I'm sure Obama will get around to that, just as soon as he is done attacking the Catholic Church.

You are obviously sadly unfamiliar with our founders belief that limited government was possible only through public virtue. Ever heard of a guy named John Adams? "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

"their OVERWHELMING focus on Newt’s personal life, and his alleged moral shortcomings

You read my #76. It's clear you didn't understand it. I don't care if Newt cheated on his ex, cheated on his taxes, cheated on his diet, etc. I do care that when he's confronted on his personal failings, he uses his love of country as a subterfuge to explain and mitigate it.

Exactly.

Rick Santorum is seriously becoming the Right's version of a Barack Obama—an immature statist with a shitty record and questionable motives, being buoyed by a fluffed up narrative about what a great and consistent guy he is. Apparently voting hordes on the Right and Left want a nanny state, they just want to be sure it's their kind of nanny state imposing their moral agendas.
