You make a brilliant point when you called Santorum a “moralist-politician” - which he clearly is a distinction he has brought on himself.
As such, nothing he says on moral subjects should be - nor is it - heard in a vacuum. He has bragged about taking the “slings and arrows” for his social conservatism and also bragged about talking about tough subjects.
Then he wants everyone to assume he will do nothing about them if elected, and that’s hes’ just been talking about them harmlessly. Don’t work that way.
Well said.
Very well said.
