This is not the president's job. To be a good role model, sure? To return "morals and principles" back to America? Nope. We are electing a president, not a priest.
Santorum will not be the next President, and if we nominate him we will lose in a massive landslide (which would take our House majority down as well). Perhaps some socons have a martyr complex? Prove to themselves that the country is going to hell because Santorum can't be elected? Or just want to make a statement by voting for a guy who could never win a general election? Either way, Santorum is an after-thought candidate who only made it this far because he was the only non-Romney no one paid any attention to till the rest were gone.
Any candidate, in this case Rick Santorum, who thinks it is would be part of his job as President to lecture the American people on why contraception is "not okay" is a terrible candidate who would be decisively defeated as a nominee. And yes, Santorum did say that:
One of the things I will talk about that no president has talked about before is I think the dangers of contraception in this country, the whole sexual libertine idea. Many in the Christian faith have said, 'Well, that’s okay. Contraception’s okay'. It’s not okay..."

That is such BS. If it was popular vote....MAYBE but since it is electoral college who chose then Santorum is the one that we want. He won Iowa, Wisconsin, Colorado, almost Ohio, will win Pennsylvania. He is winning all the important states. I know you want Newt but SC and GA we will win no matter who the candidate is. Newt can’t win in states that went blue in 2008 but are normally red. If we only have a candidate that wins the South, how can we expect to win the election? There are not enough states in the South for Newt to win in the general.
Very well said!
