Santorum rides shotgun for the GOPe to take potshots at real conservatives and divide conservative votes so the GOPe candidate can win....

And gullible saps like Vigilanteman helps by calling everyone who refuses to vote against their own interests "bots" of some sort or another, never seeing their own "Santorum-bot" proclivities.

You might make a better case if you'd stick to logic rather than cherry picking and seeking for insults. The -bot suffix was only used as an abbreviated term and everybody who reads the entire scope of my comments understands this. Newt had great vision in 1994. If he'd shown a little of the same in 2012, he might have won more than two states.

Santorum was adept at defining the gulf between Main Street and Wall Street and understanding the difference between free trade as a policy tool and a Kool-Aid drinking ideology which made no distinction between China and those generally hostile to U.S. interests and Japan and other loyal U.S. allies.

Newt did himself no favors with his gratuitous attacks on other conservative candidates such as the special election in New York. There are valid reasons why he never became a TEA Party favorite. There were more than a few of us who could see that the key difference between him and Mitt Romney was that Romney had a smaller ego.

I’m not here to get mad, but I have a pile of evidence including a trip Santorum made to Alaska in 2004 to help RINO Lisa Murkowski win a US Senate primary.

Santorum went out there to defuse the state’s main pro-life group from endorsing the Pro-Life opponent over the Pro-Abortion Murkowski.
