I was here on FR when that the Specter/Toomey thing happened, didn't agree with it but understood that it was traditional politics, and watched people lose their minds over it in rage and near insanity.
But to still be so angry that you don't see Santorum for who he really is - a rock solid, principled conservative, and the most openly and strongly pro-life candidate in the field......
That's more than 'a little nutty.' It's just plain stupid.
Thanks for the insight, Whistling. Unbelieveable.
I live in PA and thought that Santorum did what was right, even though I can’t STAND Spector. Now Spector’s gone (by his own ego and arrogance), Toomey is in and Santorum didn’t have to stab a fellow Republican in the back for it to happen. I’d like to see Santorum (if he doesn’t become POTUS or VP first) defeat Bob Casey and get him out of the Senate, a place where he never belonged. Santorum also did a wonderful job filling in for Bill Bennett on Friday morning radio shows.
Nobody is doubting Santorum's credentials, or that he is a solid conservative. He has just lost any momentum he may have had going into Iowa.
Bachmann is a pro-life and rock solid conservative, as is Perry and Palin (who may still declare). The point is to challenge flipper-flopper Mitt Romney, who now claims to be pro-life, but on any given day could change his mind. Pawlenty just blew it with attacks on Bachmann instead of Romney, which made him look weak. A stupid move if you ask me.
