Santortum? He's anti-death penalty, he's against "libertarianish" Republicans ""libertarianish right," saying "they have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do. Government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulation low and that we shouldn't get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn't get involved in cultural issues, you know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world, and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can't go it alone.
He's a bleeding heart liberal who wants to save Africa from itself - with our tax dollars, like the current occupant and like Bush.
On the positive side he's against amnesty and other plans to legalize the invaders. He's pro guns, and anti-climate change.
I would say he is probably more conservative than Mitt.
The better candidate in 2012 was Cain. He was the only one who could have broken Obummer’s stranglehold on black voters. Besides he has actually run a corporation as opposed to Santorum or Newt. I also liked his 999 proposal. That would have stimulated growth like crazy IMO.
My point is NOT that Newt or Santorum were great candidates.
My point is that one on one either one defeats Mitt.
When conservatives divide votes, the lone RINO will always win. There are not enough conservative voters to place 2 conservative candidates over a single RINO.
