So they don’t hate Newt?
If Newt isn’t a social conservative then I have no reason to even consider it.
Oh, they hate Newt — but not for the same reasons as Santorum. I just don’t think they can quite get their hackles up as high with Newt. Though they hate him, they cannot match his logic and wit — so, I feel, (my theory only) they will hate him, but they’ll respect him.
Santorum — they just mock and persecute, call him stupid, etc.
Again, just my own deep feelings on the issue. Have worked in the pro-life field a lot time - and I understand these people. Abortion is their sacred right — Santorum is MOST CLOSELY IDENTIFIED with this issue. Newt is pro-life, but it’s not his signature issue.
Geron, Newt is a conservative. Newt would protect the Constitution, which protects YOUR RELIGIOUS liberties! He speaks out on protection of this ...you are being intentionally obtuse here.
