How can someone who is supporting Santorum (who is mostly conservative) then go to Romney who is a stink’n liberal.
That makes no sense.

Because Santorum is quite the liberal stinkpot, that's why. The only thing is that he says it's G-d's will... and that is enough for our retarded electorate in the Republican party.

How so, you ask? Why, just Santorum's own words, when he didn't need to say what he thought the electorate wanted to hear. Read below and tell me how 'conservative' this socialist pig really is.

---

Santorum, from 2008:

This whole idea of personal autonomy, well I don’t think most conservatives hold that point of view. Some do. They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues. You know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can’t go it alone.

And directly from his book 'It Takes a Family: Conservatism and the Common Good'...

What was my vision? I came to the uncomfortable realization that conservatives were not only reluctant to spend government dollars on the poor, they hadn’t even thought much about what might work better. I often describe my conservative colleagues during this time as simply ‘cheap liberals.’ My own economically modest personal background and my faith had taught me to care for those who are less fortunate, but I too had not yet given much thought to the proper role of government in this mission.

...and...

I suspect some will dismiss my ideas as just an extended version of ‘compassionate conservatism.’ Some will reject what I have said as a kind of ‘Big Government Conservatism.’ Some will say that what I’ve tried to argue isn’t conservatism at all. But I believe what I’ve been presenting is the genuine conservatism our Founders envisioned. One that fosters the opportunity for all Americans to live as we are called to live, in selfless families that contribute to the general welfare, the common good.

I have been told it is because they are so pure, that a divorce turns them away from Newt.

Evidently while being so deeply Christian, they didn’t notice that Romney is a prohomosexual, proabortion, leader in an anti-christian cult.
