Read what he said.

Basically, he said that Cruz was right to oppose Obamacare, but didn’t choose the best way to do it. I suppose that’s arguable, but in actuality all Cruz did was to draw attention to himself as a Tea Partier. Then in the end he gave in, and was polite about giving in.

I’m certainly sorry that Rick helped that RINO traitor get re-elected. But he had his reasons, and in fact it did lead to a couple of good Supreme Court appointments that might not otherwise have been made.

I remember that you absolutely HATED Santorum, and said so at every possible opportunity, even though he was running second to Romney and might have beat Romney if the conservative vote hadn’t been split by other candidates who had no chance of winning but stayed in the race until Romney won it.

And I suspect the reason you hate him is that you think of him as a Christian—a “Bible thumper,” as you put it here—and you wouldn’t want a traditional-minded conservative Christian in office if it can possibly be prevented.

No, what I despise are self righteous pharisaical jerks like you...and RS. What I have no time for are people too blind to see when a candidate is simply not talented and not smart and not electable...and playing them for fools by playing the Bible card.

I would very much like a Christian in office, but what's very much more important is to have someone in office that will allow me to live out my faith unimpacted by government. RS is a big gov conservative, and had zero chance of being elected. It's his sheep supporters that aggrevate me, not the man himself .

You seem to be blind to the fact that Rick Santorum is nothing but a big-government Social Conservative.

He is only half the package where conservatism is concerned, and as conservatives, I'd dare say that most of us are through with half-measures as it is what the GOP has used to control and manipulate us for years now and as a result, we have Obama.

He didn't "give in" he knew he didn't have enough support to do a real filibuster.

If it's arguable that the Cruz strategy was wrong then why doesn't Santorum explain why he thinks the strategy was wrong.

Why doesn't Santorum say the strategy was wrong because Obama, the Democrats and the media all lie, and the Republicans are too afraid to fight the lies and therefor the Cruz strategy doesn't work.

All of the above is true. So why doesn't Santorum explain it? Why doesn't King, McCain, Sunnunu(Sp.?) and the rest of them all explain it? The answer is they too are too damned afraid of the media and they are part of the problem.

but in actuality all Cruz did was to draw attention to himself as a Tea Partier.

Okay, you want to be cynical about this. So why doesn't your cynicism extend to Santorum. You don't think his appearance on NBC criticizing Cruz was self serving??

FWIW, Santorum lost a lot of support when he started saying he wanted to compromise to get results in DC. By the time Obama's second campaign season came along, it was obvious that compromise on principles is not going to solve the US's problems.

And now Santorum is speaking for Ted Cruz?? Cruz does a much better job speaking for himself. What Cruz did was brilliant. He got out front of the Obamacare disaster, so the dems and the RINO saboteurs own it. Besides that, you've got the NSA spying scandals gaining traction. By drawing attention to what's going on in DC, Cruz created a situation the dems and the RINOs may never recover from.

Santorum is coming across as just plain dumb.
