Thanks and that is all Free Republic needs to know about Santorum.

This same guy supported Arlen Specter. Oh and he voted for the TARP, No Child Left Behind, The Prescription Drug Benefit, bailing out G.M., etc.... just in case anyone thinks he is conservative. Observe him by what he does and not what he says.

There's no way Santorum could've voted for TARP and GM bailouts if he wasn't in office at the time. I'm no Santorum supporter (quite the opposite), but let's keep the allegations factual. And there's more than enough facts exposing Santorum as a bad conservative, so no need to make things up.

That applies to Newt as well, no matter how articulate and eloquent he may be.

So who does that leave?

I don’t know.

I’m leaning towards Perry again.

Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, pro-Freedom.

The only sticking point with Perry is pro-Amnesty.

But I’m not sure that any of the current group of publicans would want take the hard line on this issue that most of us support.

How did former Senator vote for TARP or for bailing out GM? I don't think his term expired, without re-election, 'fore all that.

Not all of us we're fooled by the sorry puke Specter, but I can see how Pennsylvania real politik would make "supporting" Arlen a necessity at times. That is, unless you're in favor of Public Campaign Financing, naturally.

Whatever you're smoking, I would throw the rest of it away.
