He projects an image of being a good little Christian family man, which makes them feel good inside and that’s enough.

Oh, so the character of the candidates doesn't matter to you

Santorum is a good family and it is absurd to attack him or conservatives for finding that to be an admirable quality.

Your comments sound a lot like the one Obama made about conservative voters clinging to their Bibles and guns. It's absurd these sort of comments are being made here.

Oh, so the character of the candidates doesn't matter to you

Of course character matters, but there's more to good character than simply being a Christian and having a family—I am not attacking those qualities, just pointing out that they're an insufficient standard by themselves.

For instance, I'm not exactly keen on the leadership character of a person who staunchly boasts about being a "principled conservative", and then simultaneously makes excuses for inconsistencies in his 'conservative' record by saying that, "well, sometimes you have to be a team player." Not admitting to one's own hypocrisy is a characterological defect in my view. Whereas if he'd just came out and said, "yes I did this, it was a mistake" I'd have respected him for owning up to it.
