I had heard his name, my boy is out. Im lookin at whats left....
Social Conservative, Anti Illegal immigration, Anti homosexual...





Whats the catch?

Are you a God hating commie? If so the fact that he comes from the conservative Christian branch of the GOP might be a good reason for you to pull the romney lever instead and help flush the country down the progressives's shit hole.

Because the paulbots say you should vote for Ron Paul.

Don't mind his social views. I actually agree a good deal with him in those respects. He's a big spender though and wants to keep us bogged down in these endless conflicts.

The economy is by far our biggest problem right now.

Do you like firearms?

He doesn't.

I don't even know what state he is from.


Can someone post some background info on him in this thread please?

Link please? If true, I cannot support him.

Fuck.

The bad thing about that is that even some Christians are willing to limit your freedoms.  I'm a Catholic, so I am part of the problem but why should the feds regulate marriage, abortion, education, or healthcare? *

Santorum may be my guy now, but he's a little too hardcore on a couple issues.  



*Those are my issues and are not to be construed as anyone else's or even important at all.

How in the hell did we end up with all these fucking anti-gun Republicans?????


The Dems are supposed to be the antis.

The former is not good, and I agree with the latter...Arent all politicians spenders???





For arguments sake, wouldnt a strong anti illegal immigration policy be a smart fiscal policy? BOGO free?





The Christian Conservative doesnt scare me a bit. Religion, as long as it is friendly to America is not a problem issue for me. My problem with Lieberman was not his Judaism, it was his politics.





A Christian conservative would be a refreshing change from the widespread lack of morals and values we have seen in the last 50 years.



 

The problem is that he isn't the perfect candidate for some people.

I have heard nothing about him being anti gun, but I will admit I could be wrong.

He hates freeeeeeedooooooommmmmmmm!!!1!!!1!!!1111

I found this....











 

Obama approves your post.

Santorum is just what Obama needs to rally his discouraged base.

The press will love contrasting a Republican candidate who fits their stereotype perfectly...racist, hates gays, etc...against a black incumbent president.

Can't you see the headlines now?

You've gotta be kidding me.  Wait and see how he does in his home state of PA and you'll see what I mean.

I agree that he's intelligent and debates well.  However, on the social issues he will get killed.

Santorum has been on my short list from the beginning of the primary.  I still have a few weeks left until I can cast my vote, but I am leaning this way.  Not fully decided though because my vote will go to the alternative to Romney, and I like most in the field (excluding Huntsman, who is just a joke, and Paul, who again................joke)


But all in all if its a 2 way between Santorum and Romney, my vote is for Santorum, I dont like Romney.

Well your choices most likely are going to be romney or santorum. Sucks don't it.

Throw in Rubio as the VP candidate and that will solve alot of those problems....it limits the race card and can help pull some hispanic votes

He voted against 94 AWB  AND Brady.

 
Votesmart

anti-gay crap = loss in reality





but hes bad because he IS establishment, loves the pork too.. oink oink..



generally, a lot of his positions are why the GOP sucks balls

IIRC he jumped on the case of the girl in Florida I think that was on life support.

Seems like he inserted himself into the debate about whether or not to unplug her and just went over the top with it.

He jumped the shark on that and then got hammered in the next election.

I always figured the former was a big reason for the latter.

Maybe others can remember more about it.

You know, in all honesty, we don't have the perfect candidate.  Santorum isn't it, Romney isn't it and Gingrich is a disaster.  I'm drawing at straws and hoping that Santorum has had a change in heart on spending.  He sounds like he has, but if history is any indicator, he's full of shit.  

We let ourselves be dragged down into this, I guess this is what we get.

If you are going to vote for a candidate based largely on the fact that they hate homos, then you deserve to lose the election.

It's shocking how many on arfcom are so eager to embrace a fundamentalist.

Whats shocking is how many liberals are so open minded their brains have fallen out.





I asked why I should not vote for Santorium. If you wanna troll me or trade insults, feel free. If you have something substantial to add to the conversation Id love to hear it.



 

He's not an anti for what I have been able to find.

you sound like the type who thinks that anything short of screening gay porn in kindergarten is the equivalent of "hate"


Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile

so this is the santorium flavor of the month thread, right ?

He is not anti gun, the paul bots want to fuck everything up now.





 

Better than Romney.

It's not about how Christian he is, so much as how Christian he'll legislate that you'd be.



 

He's a statist, just like Romeny, although perhaps less of one. I don't like either choice but perhaps he is the lesser of two evils.

We aren't going to fix this country with incremental moves and changes that amount to rounding errors, we need to radically decrease the size and scope of government in a way that is equal to, and inverse of, the sum of the great society and the new deal.

That being said, the GOP could nominate a butternut squash at this point and I'd still vote for it. I for one wish as a party we could eject the so called social conservative baggage, legislating morality is not a conservative stance, and certainly not one that is consistent with being the party of personal liberty and individual responsibility.

I think he's quite accurate.  Saying a candidate is "anti homosexual" means you likely have a losing candidate.  Like it or not most people don't look highly upon someone for that.  Take it however you will, it is the truth.

More religion isn't going to win office.  I want a candidate that supports more personal freedom and less spending.  What do you want?

Why, because one organization says so?  The organization that has its facts on its web site COMPLETELY wrong?  Read his voting record and then read what they have on their site about Santorum.  

Where is there anything saying he's an anti-gun guy?  The only thing I found was the NAGR sent him a questionnaire about guns and he never returned it, so they just automatically labeled him an anti.  Other than that, I don't see where he has made any anti gun statements or moves.  He was a senator in PA and backed a turn coat republican (Arlin Specter) that's now a Dem.  Who could have seen that coming?  I think I can get past the fact that he backed Specter in an election since the guy was a stalwart in PA politics for decades and was also an R for 45 years...

The following was taken from a candidate fact site.  

Open minded is the last thing a liberal is.
 

Hell, he looks right at home with it too.  

It appears so.

First it was Cain
Cain tripped on his dick, literally.

Then it was Newt
Newt tripped on his dick, too.

Next up to the plate is Santorum
He will flame out when the press brings up his stand on social issues

By the time Santorum is gone, Perry will have dropped out.  Sorry, Mark.

Bachmann and Huntsman are DOA as of about 2 hrs ago.

Then it will be between Ron Paul and Mitt Romney.

Romney will get the nomination

At this point I will be praying for Paul to run independent.

Those of you who hate Ron Paul can hold your nose and vote for McCain Romney.

...and in the end we will probably get 4 more years of Obama.

I don't like it, either...just calling it the way I see it.

Careful. I have been accused of being a paulbot.

He looks like a guy we would hunt with.  I'll bet he drinks schnaaps between fields.

He's not anti gun...He's rated A by the NRA.

I don't think it matters. The GOP had it's mind made up since the field was set. But this is how we change the GOP.

NRA A
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/post/santorum-takes-on-ron-paul-over-gun-rights-abortion/2012/01/03/gIQAP2XXYP_blog.html

I like how he has emphasized personal responsibility in his campaign.  But, I have been fortunate to know many extremely devout Christians, and they are nothing like Mr. Santorum.  Telling everyone that you're a Christian every 5 minutes doesn't make you very, very, Christian.  The finest people I know are respectful, kind, and humble.  Do you see any of those traits in Mr. Santorum?  I don't.

I've been looking and looking and can't seem to find what they're referring to.One report I read said he voted for the The Lautenberg amendment S.254. It was completely untrue.

The GOP field this time is just plain terrible, the only person I may even have considered voting for is Pawlenty and his isn't running. Maybe Perry but he doesn't seem to have a chance. And if Ron Paul doesn't get his way he's going to run as an independent split the vote, and therefore Obama wins by default.

Fuck Ron Paul.

That's MUCH better than Mittens and that's good enough for me.

Also....  He is from Penn... That's huge.   Obama can't win if he loses Penn.

Fuck Mitt Romney
