Santorum’s positions now are softly spoken, and solely for the purpose of geting nominated.
He has yet to take a robust stand against a past position, unlike Newt who has humbly and vocally rejected his failings in nationally broadcast events.
Saying you are sorry for doing stupid things before an election just rings hollow to most people.
Okay, but let’s be honest here.
Santorum voted not to cut the funding for the Endowment of the Arts.
Newt’s infractions were related to cheating on his wives.
I know a number of folks here have run cover for that, but Newt himself apologized in public for it, so I’m somewhat missing the case the FReepers are trying to make for him.
One goes to a poor take on public policy, and another goes to one of the core moral stands a man must make in his personal life.
None the less, we’re not supposed to mention a moral revelation, but then a poor vote on a public policy issue is considered despicable, a disqualifier, and something that everyone MUST know about even after 14 years.
I don’t agree with Santorum’s vote. It does trouble me. If he had cheated on two of his wives, you and I would not be having this discussion, I can guarantee you.
Now get back out there and find more dirt on Santorum. It’s the only chance you’ve got to make sure Romney gets the nomination.
People know Mitt, and they know Newt. Newt isn’t cutting it on that basis one on one. Now what are you going to do about it? Hope for Sarah to ride in and save us at the convention?
And she said she agrees with McCain’s policies, all of them. What will she be saving us from?
