Santorum trumpets that he was never for what he was clearly for. It's a keystone argument he makes of why he is better than Romney or better than Newt on the issue of ObamaCare.

As for the timeline, Santorum sure seems to care what Newt had to say in the early 90s. Or Romney had to say in the early 90s. Or Perry had to say in the early 90s. Or some other opponent had to say across their whole careers.

Santorum has an estranged relationship with the truth on the campaign trail, even falsely claiming endorsements that didn't take place.

He's just a dishonest lawyer/career politician who uses social conservatives as cover for his Big Government, Big Labor, Big Spender agenda. Through his confirmation vote for Clinton 2nd Circuit nominee Sonya Sotomayor, he plainly agrees with Obama on what kind of high ranking federal judges we need! After all, she was Obama's Number One Supreme Court pick.

Santorum's supporters are being had by an establishment player.

I don’t care what anyone said in the 90’s. Santorum has a better record than Romney on ObamaCare. Rick and Newt are roughly equal on policy positions. Newt is a better debater. Rick is a better man.

I don’t buy that Santorum is a big government guy. He’s never had that reputation before this campaign.

I don’t mind his appeals to blue collar workers. Where do you think the “Reagan Democrats” came from in the 80s? Might be good to nominate a conservative that can appeal to a demographic we don’t normally win. Especially since they can be appealed to in a conservative way — highlighting Obama environmental policies that kill blue collar jobs, and Obama regulations that send them overseas. Its a win-win.

You want to hear what Santorum had to say in the 90's? Then watch the first 30 minutes of this 1994 debate between Santorum and Wofford.

$10 to FR says you won't watch it because you're just as dishonest as Mother Jones.
