I agree, there are many worthy warriors on this site who steadfastly defend Rick Santorum better than I could ever hope to.
Thank goodness for them.
I'm just an inept cheerleader who cheers a bit too loudly sometimes :)
Now, I prefer the Speaker. This is not the time for delicate diplomacy, we need a fighter who will not just beat down, but kick the enemy WHILE they are down. A man of vision and ideas. And I am not talking about the USA. Like it or not, the USA leads the rest of the free world.
But.
Sen. Santorum has walked the walk on social issues. I know the pain of a child dying, and can appreciate his deep and unswerving loyalty to the idea of family. The underlying basis of the West.
Without family, we are nothing. I can and will get behind him, should he get the nomination. I will never disrespect him and will work for him to the limits I am allowed to (it is hard being a foreigner sometimes!)
The Senator doesn’t excite me - but his supporters here do. People I respect, so I can go for him if my guy drops out with a clear conscience.
