Gas prices blew up Obama’s numbers. His and the left’s attack on the comments by Rush were raising his numbers. The comments of Rush and others turned a conflict where Tim Dolan and the Bishopa were going to thrash Obama into one where they were accused of approving Rush’s rhetoric. Mr. Santorum’s rhetoric has the same effect. He doesn’t think before he speaks and his words raise concern that he will use the power of govt to enforce his vision of morality.
That's nonsense. Santorum didn't bring up the contraception issue and isn't out on the campaign trial taking about internet porn. The liberal media, Obama and Romney-supporters like Drudge and the Daily Caller and making an issue of all that.
And, your opinion isn't based in the polls. Rasmussen had Santorum within one point yesterday. He is ahead in four battleground states 48-44% in a Rasmussen poll out today.
Yeah, that used to be called "public morals" back before homosexuals and libertines began using the power of government to enforce their vision of depravity as the basic public morality.
