>>>Voting for Jimmy Carter is a huge regret I carry to this day, because Carter, socially conservtive but a fiscal liberal, believed and acted upon his belief in government solutions.<<<

Me too!

The difference is Carter was a liberal asshole, and Santorum is basically, a conservative.

I noticed you said Liberal not Perfect, after all he did have Hemorrhoids.

Besides, out of Office Rick has spoke against our nation, undercut Presidents, not visited or cozied up with Castro, Chavez and other 3rd world loons like Carter has...

Carter feigned social conservatism, and apparently even some of our own Freepers still accept this lie.

Santorum grew up in western Pennsylvania at a time when the economy in that part of the state was experiencing a decline.

Consequently, he tends to support government as a solution to problems more than do other Republicans.

I really believe he should run for Governor of Pennsylvania and expand his political experience. It would be a good move for him and a political resume enhancer. If he demonstrates the ability to govern as a conservative, I would seriously consider voting for him in a future presidential election.

I want to add that I am not anti-Santorum nor anti-Perry. What I want in terms of a President is someone like Winston Churchill, only he's dead.
