Santorum is no conservative. Just examine his voting record.
And he is better than Gingrichs?Gingrich called Paul Ryans plan right wing and now Gingrich endorses it.What is the alternative Gingrich has dropped in the polls? Who else is there? Or is it that no one is done eating they’re own until we have Romney/Obama?
He’s a social conservative only. He’s also leaden, a terrible speaker, and has absolutely no chance of getting the nomination - but he’ll make sure that Romney gets it.
Plus if you’ve ever heard his scary ideas on Social Security you’ll really run screaming. He seems to want to handle it by taking benefits away from the already retired, making it means tested so it essentially becomes a welfare program and people who have paid into SS all of their lives can’t collect because they have just too much money to “need” it, etc.
There are two sides to that argument:
Gingrich is no conservative. Just examine his advocacy record.
See? It's easy. Newt has flipped back and forth from Global Warming to a healthcare mandate. So, at that point it comes down to which one you can trust. Newt violated his most solemn oaths, repeatedly. He may be intelligent and articulate, but from what I can see he uses that ability to rationalize anything.
Has anybody taken a good look at his voting record?
Below is just some of the worst:

People NEED to know this about Santorum’s voting record.
Newt is NOT my first choice, and I can’t say I like him that much.
I just feel it will take a man of Newt’s bravery, (yes, bravery. Newt’s right. The others are too timid to debate Obama) intellect, experience and debating skills to bring the Marxist/Muslim down.
Have we all forgotten his smack-downs of his RINO opponents and the Obama butt-licking interviewers?
All agree he’s the most intelligent, experienced and the most skilled at debating- even the Obama loving Media.
Obama is going to have a billion dollars in this campaign fund, the commie MSM in his back pocket, he’ll use the same same voter fraud methods, and illegal overseas contributiions as he did in ‘08.
Do you think the rats are going to let the commie coup they they have hoped for for generations slip through their fingers??
The fight is going to be the hardest fought and the dirtiest in U.S history.
We have GOT to have a STRONG man with the experience, intellect and debating skills to go up against Obama- or America is doomed.
Both Gingrich and Santorum are fine Conservatives and I would be happy with either of them however Gingrich presently has a better chance of knocking out the liberal 0bama Junior Romney.
If he starts wearing a bow tie with his sweater vest, I’ll vote for him.

Show us, South Carolina; that you are better, smarter than this!
Santorum is no conservative. Just examine his voting record.
No one still in the race is any more conservative.
