I am pro-life, but this parsing of Rick Santorum is silly. At this end of the day, this election is going to be about the economy and our freedoms.
The underlying issue is whether someone trusts the people or thinks that they need a government shepherd. Rick is on the wrong side of that divide.
Agreed!
“I am pro-life, but this parsing of Rick Santorum is silly. At this end of the day, this election is going to be about the economy and our freedoms.”
You are right, Perdogg. The MSM is going after the non-question contraceptive question to destroy all pro life candidates, particularly the Catholic ones: Rick and Newt.
Republicans should not be stupid enought to fall into this trap.
When women voters hear that contraception is even an issue for Rick, they will not vote for him. He will be lucky to get 40%. It would be a national blowout.
Parsing? I think it was very clear what he has said for a change and what he says now. Don’t people ever get tired of interpreting what politicians “meant to say?”. If Santorum would stop rambling, overtalking, and stop the excitement, maybe he could make some sense.
If Santorum is the GOP candidate this election will be about Social Issues 24/7...and NOT by his choice. It's the only questions that he will be presented with. The ads that will be run will deliberately distort and misrepresent his positions, forcing him to defend.
