They tried the same fear tactics against Reagan in 1980.
Reagan’s response was, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”
Once Reagan convinced people that he wasn’t the monster the Democrats made him out to be, he had the election.
If Santorum’s the nominee, he needs to put his family out there so people can get to know them. Will women think he’s a Neanderthal if they see him with Bella? Then ask them the Reagan question.
I think that is a fair response.
Santorum is no Reagan (no one is). But obama is much, much worse than Carter.
So, net? We might just be dealing with that same scenario, more or less.
