The term I would use is morally strong or morally courageous. It is someone who actually stands for something other than political correctness, government hand outs and self-gratification. The political arena has become so amoral and dishonest that is a pleasure to see someone willing to speak the difficult truth and identify the moral corruption that is harming America.
That being said, I think if Santorum had been able to better articulate his ideas and deal with the media he would be the front runner right now. It is true that the media attacked him and lied about him. It is true he was massively outspent and subject to a continual barrage of negative advertisements coupled with media attacks. But if Santorum could have done a little better identifying a theme and hammering it home he would have won.
The problem with Saqntorum is not his positions. They are great. The problem is his inability to articulate them effectively in the face of a hostile and dishonest media.
Wow! Do you ever have that pegged right.
I hope that Rick can do better in Wisconsin tomorrow night than pundits and polls are showing.
If he can, then he has a chance to breathe new life into his campaign with a convincing win in Pennsylvania three weeks from now.
Otherwise, he faces political extinction with a possible or even probable momentum loss in his home state.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. This country will not be rid of Obama and Obamaism even when the Soros sock puppet is out of office until the credibility of the enemedia which enabled him is finally and totally broken.
I agree 100%.
Santorum allowed the media to lead him around too often and the MSM stuck it to him.
That said he could have turned it to his advantage had he been a little more agile and articulate. But he is what he is and he wasn't able to pull it off.
His message though is an important one; economic recovery in the face of cultural degeneracy will prove fruitless. The takers will continue to take everything we make and then some.
