Rick Santorum is a big-government pseudo-conservative. He has consistently voted to increase the size and scope of government in our lives, just as has the rest of the establishment wing of the Republican Party, of which he is a member in good standing.
Exit polls aren't "concrete evidence." Exit polls that you are reffering to only guage peoples' opinions about themselves. They're no more "scientific" or "definitive" than anything else. The simple fact of the matter is that a lot of Santorum's supporters, who may actually believe themselves to be "very conservative," are actually big-government, semi-socialistic, progressive social gospel supporters. Which means they are not true conservatives.

“Exit polls aren’t ‘concrete evidence.’ “
Yes, exit polls are the most concrete evidence we do have in terms of voter preference.
“The simple fact of the matter is that a lot of Santorum’s supporters, who may actually believe themselves to be “very conservative,” are actually big-government, semi-socialistic, progressive social gospel supporters. Which means they are not true conservatives.”
Ah, I see. Again, the evidence for this position? Are you saying that only people who believe what you do are true conservatives?
Do you believe that the federal government should protect the unborn the same way that it protects everyone else?
“He has consistently voted to increase the size and scope of government in our lives”
Which is why he supported the welfare reform act? I don’t see it. He’s not perfect, that’s for sure, but he’s on the right side of the line, in favoring lowering government expeditures over increasing them.
