Santorum should drop out and let a real fiscal conservative pick up the conservative votes. Santorum may be a social conservative, but anybody who supports big unions like Santorum does is no fiscal conservative. At this point in time we need a fiscal conservative like Newt, not a one issue social conservative like Rick.
Tell that to the American Conservative Union and Mark Levin, who give Rick solid OVERALL Conservative ratings.
If anyone is about big-government solutions, it’s Newt Gingrich. He says 300 pages of Obamacare are “good ideas”. Not only that, Newt’s concerned about your consumption on oil, where he thinks it’s his job to figure out how to get you to use less oil.
And then there was that thing about Newt saying the Era of Reagan is Over, for which Rush Limbaugh called him out on it as well as his other non-conservative policies
Newt is too far behind to even have Santorum drop out. Newt has won 2 states for goodness sake and has not been able to pick up many additional delegates due to his numerous 4th place finishes. If it was the other way around and Newt had as many delegates as Santorum, I would be saying that Santorum should get out, but since nobody is voting for Newt, it is time for “the fat lady to sing”.
Enough of the stupidity. If that happens, THE RACE IS OVER AND ROMNEY COASTS TO THE NOMINATION. There won't even be a chance of a brokered convention.
But, maybe that is what you want.
Yes, but social conservatives don’t like the idea of a small, non-intrusive Federal government. For that would allow people to live out their own lives, unfettered by the diktats of others.
And that’s what a social conservative *IS*, once you strip out all their protestations of G-dliness. Someone who derives their political existance from forcing others to do their bidding.
In that sense, they are *EXACTLY* the same as a modern ‘liberal’. AKA... statist.
