I'm not "HAPPY" about Santorum's record as a Fiscal Conservative or Big Labor and Big Government and his explanation that he's from Pennsylvania on the Big Labor votes I find insufficient. I'm troubled that he has difficulty articulating many of his positions, an example is the following quote. “I came to the House as a real deficit hawk, but I am no longer a deficit hawk. I’ll tell you why. I had to spend the surpluses. Deficits make it easier to say no.” –Rick Santorum, 02/5/2003" I'm not for obama or Romney, but you know that. I'm also not for Santorum, but you know that. I'm FOR Newt Gingrich, but you know that. I posted the following comment the other day to someone urging us to get on the Romney bandwagon, if not we're helping elect obama. The following was my reply, I stand by it and Newt. "Now is not the time to give up on a Conservative candidate that I believe will beat obama if elected and actually has the ability to fix what the socialist and rinos have done to America and jump on board with a candidate who I believe lacks Conservative principles and core beliefs and will continue big government, just not under the banner of the democrats, IF he’s able to get elected and I don’t believe Romney can or will get elected. I’m finding that I’m more Conservative than Republican but I do not believe in third parties. I know when Romney loses the blame will be placed on Conservatives despite the fact that Romney and Paul posoined the well with the negativity, lies and distortions and that the GOP-E pushed a candidate who had no political accomplishments and has done nothing to stop or slow up the democrat and socialist agenda, much less do anything to advance the Conservative agenda. I was very satisfied with a campaign based on positive issues and I only said good things about my guy and didn’t attack or denigrate any of the other candidates. We all know that while the campaign was about records and accomplishments, visions and plans, and reserving the attacks for obama and the democrats, that Newt Gingrich was beginning to run away with the nomination. These tactics won’t work against obama, neither will supressing the vote. I really thought that this year,2012, I would be able to cast a vote for a candidate I believed in, who I shared a common philosphy with and that when elected would start remaking America and fixing these problems that plague us and return America to where I can have a reasonable hope for the future and security of my grandchildren. Not just vote for some liberal rino that will “manage the decay of America.”
