Rick Santorum, seems like a very nice fellow with strong values and faith. The one item that I can't overlook is his neo-conservatism. He would keep sending our troops into “undeclared” wars and keep them in these Godless foreign entanglements for ever.

In the twilight of my life, I find myself becoming more and more a Fortress America type. We need to get our military out of the mid-east and many of the other places around the world. The people we say we are helping in the mid-east will return to their tribal hatreds and blood feuds the moment we leave, either today or another 10 years from now.

Rick is just wrong on that issue and it is an important issue enough for me not to support him, nor any other candidate that would send our troops into combat without the Constitutionally required Declaration of War, initiated by Congress and signed off on by the President.

More than you probably wanted to read, but felt like getting it off my chest since you believe Rick isn't going anywhere anyhow. Thanks for allowing me to vent. /;->

Yes we should have just let those Germans alone, after all it was Japan that attacked us.</sarcasm>
