How long have we waited for someone who will address social issues? And here we are repeating the MSM’s view of this as if it were straight from the gods of Conservatism.
Simply amazing...
The MSM is the entity that can’t wrap it’s pea brain around social conservatism.
Abortion, homosexuality, did we really expect the media to weigh in on Santorum’s views favorable? No. But as Conservatives we shouldn’t lament what talking about these issues results in. We should instead be championing this, and encouraging others to join us.
Instead we lament Santorum’s “unfortunate” comments. Unfortunate to who? God, or someone else?

You may be the first to articulate this need so candidly; at least it’s the first I’ve seen.
I’ve never looked to DC for moral guidance, but it’s not without my contempt for its depraved ways. I’m concerned, however, about the emphasis of single-sourcing morality through the Presidency.
It’s important we keep the issues on balance, and not to the detriment of any key concern. Rick’s got enough street cred on the social issues; he needs to focus hard on the economy and security possibly dismissing any further questioning on morality. The Left is #ing with the guy creating the perception he’s an intolerant, old school paternalist. He’s not the Rightwing hardass he’s made out to be. Contrary to conventional wisdom, he leans towards the center on policy.
I like Rick but I’m not confident he can deliver.
Go Newt!!!
