Is this video out of context? I wanted to think Santorum was a traditional conservative option, but the things he says in this spell big government. Am I understanding this wrong?

This is a general overview of Rick’s view of rightist libertarian beliefs. Specifically, there is nothing scary about Santorum. How do I know? He had 16 years as a congressman to prove it. He did vote for No Child Gets Ahead at the onset of the first Bush term, and says now that it was “boneheaded”. There is no long list of silly votes that anyone can accumulate on Santorum. He is a “small government” man, and I’m surprised that a guy (Napolitano) who wants to ensure the Punk’s victory by voting 3rd Party would not be viewed as suspect.
Go ahead, Gang, vote for Obama’s health care plan mentor, or the guy who had a six year affair, a hidden ethics report and a two decade desire to see individual health care mandates for all Americans. Or, you can vote for the man who understood Osama! What a country! Bob

Santorum agrees with me on many principles and I have cause to be leery of Gingrich...but our backs are to the abyss, and Gingrich’s gravitas/chutzpah is showing he’s getting yardage. He seems to be the only dog in the fight with fight in the dog. I’m an ex-mormon violently opposed to Romney. I gotta back Newt. With fingers crossed.

Santorum is a big government, authoritarian. He’s about more spending, and more laws. He doesn’t get it.
