Just google Santorum and libertarianism, and you'll come up with him making repeated digs at that philosophy

I found several of those quotes but none telling me what problem he has with libertarianism.

Libertarianism is great when it comes to economic issues, private property rights and the government's role in assisting the poor. It is a disaster on social issues.

The nation was founded by Christians upon Judeo-Christianity. Christianity was a basis for the law. To the extent libertarianism has undermined that foundation for law, it has contributed to the decline of the nation.

Based on everything he's said -- and I'm including the stuff he's said about talking about contraception because he doesn't like its effect on morality -- I believe he thinks government should take a more aggressive role in enforcing proper moral standards

And I don't. Also, his across the board antipathy to libertarian ideas pops up in his "0% tax for manufacturers" idea. He doesn't want neutral rules that lets individual decisions guide our future. He wants rules that he think will build a better society. And that's not what I want out of a President.

Reagan's anti-gvoernment rhetoric, right down the line, is what I support.
