To pick a limited candidate who is a proven moderate, big government insider (Santorum) and who is also viewed by the average American as a radical Social Conservative with an agenda to cram his narrow social agenda down moderate America's throats. And who also, has no clear plan or even original ideas on how to fix the real problems we all face. Instead, he projects inconsequential Social issues.
I can't for some reason copy and paste into FR any of the websites, but there are many. In fact one on Utube, in DEC 2008, in which Newt states it is politics.
Much much more there, with Newt before a Congressional Committee refuteing Al Gore and WAXMAN. That is if some would like to know the truth, which they don't it seems.
NEWT has been fighting this issue for many years.
"...and who is also viewed by the average American as a radical Social Conservative with an agenda to cram his narrow social agenda down moderate America's throats." Then why do you think he is surging? It's because people DO care about social issues!
The only thing that Santorum should not do is back down on either the social or the economic, but keep on attacking on both fronts.
