I agree with you. I have always liked Rick Santorum’s consistent conservative stands especially on the pro-life issue. If a candidate can understand the basic significance of the legalization of abortion then they will have the correct slant on all things conservative.
Santorum was hamstrung by his previous support for Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey and his subsequent loss of his Pennsylvannia Senate seat. A good man, but it’s hard to convince primary voters that you are electable as President when you can’t hold your own congressional seat. Had he run and been elected as Governor of Pennsylvannia, he would have been able to go forward as a winner.
