Yeah, let’s encourage the only conservative in the race to drop out. That’s the ticket!

Does this sound like a conservative?

This quote is not from 2012 but rather from an NPR radio interview in 2005. Placed in context he was speaking against the libertarian position of “this whole idea of personal autonomy, . . . this idea that people should be left alone”. He is not against personal freedom, he is against absolute personal freedom.

FWIW those quotes are taken from an NPR interview in 2005, not 2012.

Here is an NPR article with a "Listen" link to the radio interview. The quotes follow the one minute mark in the audio.

I have never been able to take Santorum seriously as a candidate. It just seems too obvious that he will not win the nomination.
