Santorum is not now, and never has been a small governemnt, get out of my wallet and off my back, conservative. He has always been and always will be a big government, social conservative. Ala the “compassionate conservative” mold. That’s just reality, anyone thinking Santorum is going to stem the tide of government expansion, is fully ignorant of the man and his career.
He certainly is not a liberal, and he may be to the right of Romney, but he is not a fiscal conservative, he’s not a small government conservative... never was, never will be.
And if the GOP nominates him, he will be crushed by Obama like a paper cup. It'll be Reagan-Mondale bad.
Sorry. I truly am, because I despise Obama and all he stands for, and would love to see him defeated in November. But given the current crop of GOP hopefuls, this isn't going to happen.
If Santorum wins the nomination, he'll be destroyed by the MSM and Obama as the dude who wants to clamp a chastity belt over every vagina in the land. He's toast.
If Newt wins the nomination, he'll be destroyed by the MSM and Obama as the typical evil Republican in the Dick Cheney mold. He'd be toast, too, although the debates between Newt and Obama would be awesome.
If Romney wins the nomination, he'll be ridiculed by the MSM and Obama as the Guy Smiley salesman candidate, whose willing to say anything and pander to anyone in order to make a sale. And when the electorate gets to choose between a Democrat and a Democrat-Lite, they'll take the Democrat every time.
Obama is a happy guy right now. Thank you, GOP!
