Thank you for the discussion as well, and for the time for me to FINALLY track down the link I wanted, with Judge Napolitano discussing a radio clip from Santorum.

It is pretty sobering, not just for Santorum’s unapologetic worldview, but also for Judge Napolitano voicing much of the same concern that we FReepers have had as to what our choices are. And THAT was immediately following Iowa when we still had a full field!
The harsh reality is that the media has systematically winnowed away all comers and they will continue to do so, (If We Let Them!) until they have anointed the candidate they know is beatable. A candidate who meets THEIR criteria. Someone they can classify as weak or hesitant by nature, or owing to a lack of experience on the national stage,(Santorum). Someone who the base will have no passion for, who people would vote for only out of desperation, or ignorance (ROMNEY).
Good, bad or indifferent, the truth is that Gingrich does NOT fit their mold. Newt knows what is at stake here, he knows what a statesman is, and that we are sorely in need of one.
Is Newt’s philosophical political view scarier than Santorum’s? That is probably a individual call. Will Newt be able to overcome his foibles and become the statesman we need? Only God knows the answer to that question, but what I know is that he is a heck of a seasoned fighter, and right now, I believe that is what America needs, because we are facing enemies on all sides.
Thanks again for the discussion, FRiend, and may God grant each of us the strength and wisdom we will need to see this through.

I have never gotten over Gingrich and this move...
Thanks for that link. I know for sure Santorum isn’t the best choice we could possibly have... The reason I am supporting Santorum is that he is honest.
Remember Napolitano wants Ron Paul...
