Santorum's support is SOCIAL conservative. Almost all of it - which is why he'll never break out of the lower double digits.
Fiscal conservatives and patriots are horrified by the man's voting record in Congress. He's also about as charismatic as Dilbert, the cartoon character.
Social liberals claiming to be ‘fiscally conservative’ always stab us in the back. No sale. I’ve caught 3 Newt supporters just today saying that social conservatism cannot win.
Guess what, you just cost Newt the nomination.
Yes, social conservatives matter. And if Newt got that then he’d be winning. But he doesnt, because, as I said earlier, his support isn’t conservative. It’s moderates and independents, that would rather see Romney win then nominate a social conservative.
It’s sad, really sad. But true.
