Was pimping for Arlen something a Conservative would have done? No. Was being an earmark king something a Conservative would have done? No.

Well, since Gingrich endorsed Dede Scozzafosa, and he championed earmarks for every house member to help win votes in home districts, it is hypocritical to support Newt and attack Santorum for those two issues.

Santorum isn't the perfect conservative, but we are comparing him to Gingrich. For more examples, another Gingrich supporter attacked Santorum for voting for the Medicare Prescription drug program, but Newt actually came back to the house and lobbied several house members to twist their arms into voting for the program -- and that work is why the bill passed, while Santorum's vote wasn't a deciding vote.

Well I’m glad you pointed that out but I said nothing about supporting Newt so don’t blow a gasket. I don’t care what Newt did I am pointedly talking about Santorum. All this talk of him being the “only” Conservative in the race needed to deflated as it’s pointedly not true. So there was no need for a knee jerk reaction from a Santorum bot.

Read my tagline to see who I am voting for these days.
