Then Ron Paul is your only option.

Let's use an analogy that you should be able to relate to...

When the local gangbangers are raping and pillaging the neighborhood and you tell your family, "Never mind, just stay in the yard. Everything will be fine."

I Support Your Views on Slick....

Santorum is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I think he has character. I decided about three weeks ago that he is my candidate. I do not like Romney, nor trust him and his opportunistic flip-flopping ways. Nor do I like the fact that he refused twice to sign a simple pro-life pledge (as of November - perhaps I have missed something). I can not support him. Those are my .00000000002 cents' worth and I'm sticking to them.

....I refer to Romney as "slick" in reference to his hair, and tongue. You have a good view of the man. Santorum is at least pro-life (maybe because he is supposed to be a devout Cathoilic). Other than that, if you could share some things, you know about him, I'd be grateful. :thumbs:

Please note that Santorum is not pro-life as far as I am concerned:

Q: If you believe that life begins at conception, then why do you support exceptions for rape, incest, and life of mother?

SANTORUM: Yeah, I would vote for things like that.

Hi Pastor Paul -
Here are some links for you. Some of the good, the bad and the ugly, and pro and con, on Santorum, and a link to his Iowa Caucus speech a couple days ago. He also has a campaign website you can google although it is not nearly as detailed as I would like to see. And I know there's a lot more info out there. I'm actually still looking things up about him. He's far from my perfect candidate, but in my opinion he has excellent character and he is pro-life, and signed the pro-life pledge. Pro-life from in utero to natural death is my first consideration in a candidate, so that gives you an idea where I'm coming from. I think these links will give you a good start.

In answer to billwald's question, when people started falsely believing an all powerful big brother government would or could save them from harm.

Stay vigilant and keep yer powder dry billwald if the gangbangers and rapists break down your door tell your family to call the police while you defend your castle with maximum force! Don't wait for big brother to save your sorry butt because he's too busy tasering the old lady down the street and fondling little children at the airport to get to you in time to save you and your family.

Being a democrat, I listened to Rick Santorum saturday. To be quite honest, I was very impressed by what he said. I don't know much about him, though. I will need to do some serious investigating on his record as a senator. But I have to admit, I liked what he said.


Noted to add: any and all politicians will promise us the moon to get our votes. So what he said, eventhough it was impressive, will he keep his word? One shall see if he gets elected.

I liked what he said Saturday as well, and what I heard from Sunday's AM Meet the Press debate also, although I have so far only the heard the first part of the debate on line. Hope to finish it tomorrow. The more I hear him, the more I like him. From everything I have heard he had a good record for the most part in PA, but I have not done the research to see what he promised there vs what he accomplished - good point.

I think Rick Santorum is the best choice right now for the Republicans unless someone slips in who has not announced. The idea is to beat Obama, and from my casual obervation, it looks like the Republicans are trying their hardest to hand the election to Obama on a silver platter. Santorum has the potential to be a good President, because I believe there is some similance of a moral bearing in his makeup. One person I refuse to vote for is Mitt Romney, who does not believe Jesus Christ is God, and is as liberal as they come by examining his record while governor. I cannot understand why a Christian would even consider the person. Not only is he not a Christian, he is a liberal, anti-Constitutional career politician who wants to serve himself to power, not the American people.

saturneptune, I agree with you that Santorum is the best choice right now. I do like to find everything out that I can about someone's history though, just to be aware and just to be 100 percent assured when I go to cast my vote. And as far as Romney, the link below explains pretty much why I can never vote for the man.

Santorum is finished.

His comments on social security have effectively ended his run for the nomination.

Cut SS benifits now instead of waiting 10 years.

He ir right, but that will prove unpopular -- until we can no longer afford to pay at all... :tonofbricks:

Much worse, to me, is his vow to "stand against the Tea Party." Yikes!

Not to mention his continual willingness to fund planned parenthood, increase the size of government, etc.
