Oh and you like Newt . . .

Here is an article that reveals the National Taxpayer’s Union graded Santorum during his period in congress as an A, because he was a true fiscal conservative http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/was-santorum-senate-spendthrift_629850.html?page=1

Those claiming Santorum is big government are liars, trying to push deranged RINO Romney. If you vote for Romney, you hand the election to Obama, the same way those who voted for McCain did.

What you cannot argue is that Arlen was the 60th vote for Obamacare!

What a GOP that puts Romney forward as their choice achieves is the death of the Republican party, because Romney is Obama. There will be no 2016, it will be too late for the United States. We can’t survive another Obama term.

Our only choice is a principled candidate, and that is Rick Santorum, he has no scandals, he wrote and passed welfare reform, he exposed corruption in congress. He’s a good and decent man. He can mop the floor with Obama, which is why Obama is terrified at the prospect of facing Santorum.

Santorum was NEVER a big government, nanny statist that is a lie told by the same Mitt Romney who was the Massachusetts governor who raised taxes in Massachusetts 7 times in one term. Left Massachusetts with a massive debt and the destructive burden of Romneycare.

Rick Santorum has an incredible plan, the Made in America Plan, read the details on his site, it will restore economic independence to the US, and our sovereignty as well. He’ll cut the tax rates, and restore sanity to our nation once again.

The big nanny statists are Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. Romney’s the worst, I lived in MA during his period as governor, he lies claiming he was a “conservative” but Romney raised taxes and “fees” as he called them. Romney left Massachusetts in serious debt and his Romneycare has not only put a burden on the taxpayers of the US (the entire nation’s been paying for Romneycare all these years) but it’s strained the costs of private healthinsurance in the state. Romney appointed Kevin “Fistgate” Jennings to an education board, and gave that commission a quarter million dollars to start the sexualization of children. Romney has lied his way through each campaign, he looted the taxpayers of Massachusetts to line his cronies pockets. In the private sector, Romney supported TARP and took billions in taxpayer bailouts.

Gingrich is bad enough, but better than Romney, but still, Gingrich voted for NAFTA and GATT, Gingrich cozied up to the Clinton administration and supported Hillary Clinton’s individual mandate. He supported cap and trade, and so many other bad laws.

Strong on defense, decent on fiscal issues …

The modern-day Left has too little in common with JFK.

Mew

He lost his naivete as to his national security apparatus in the Bay of Pigs mess and then in the Cuban Missile almost disaster.

He lost his naivete as to civil rights when James Meredith tried to enroll in Ole Miss.

From his papers and speeches, one can discern a rich boy, a playboy, but a really intelligent and perceptive boy, maturing in office.

The great things about JFK: He did have principles, and he never sold out.

It’s driving me absolutely bonkers that we can’t find someone to nominate who can get over the ridiculously low bar of “better than Obama”, the worst president in my lifetime…and I was born during the Carter administration.

Seriously? This is what we’re going with now?

I’m flabbergasted that we could potentially nominate someone who believes things like this (which is perfectly valid, everyone is entitled to their own beliefs):

“One of the things I will talk about that no president has talked about before is I think the dangers of contraception in this country, the whole sexual libertine idea ? Many in the Christian faith have said, ?Well, that?s okay ? contraception?s okay.?

It?s not okay because it?s a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be. They?re supposed to be within marriage, for purposes that are, yes, conjugal ? but also procreative. That?s the perfect way that a sexual union should happen. We take any part of that out, we diminish the act. And if you can take one part out that?s not for purposes of procreation, that?s not one of the reasons, then you diminish this very special bond between men and women, so why can?t you take other parts of that out? And all of a sudden, it becomes deconstructed to the point where it?s simply pleasure. And that?s certainly a part of it?and it?s an important part of it, don?t get me wrong?but there?s a lot of things we do for pleasure, and this is special, and it needs to be seen as special.”

…and then says things like this

“Again, I know most presidents don?t talk about those things, and maybe people don?t want us to talk about those things, but I think it?s important that you are who you are. I?m not running for preacher. I?m not running for pastor, but these are important public policy issues.”

These are not important public policy issues. These are not public policy issues at all. There’s no legitimate reason for the state to have a policy on contraception in any way, shape, or form. If a man and a woman, or, heck, let’s up the ante to a husband and wife…if I want to have sex with my wife without the danger of making a baby, it’s no business of Rick Santorum’s.

I’m certainly glad we’ve got all the big stuff like the economy, terrorism, oil, and China squared away so that we’re ready to have a national conversation about whether or not the terrorists win when people hump without making babies. I was worried there for a second, but if Rick Santorum says it’s an important public policy issue, then I guess we’re golden!

Oh, well. I’ll be dead in another fifty or sixty years, I imagine. That can’t be too long to wait to escape whatever Obama’s 2nd term will bring about.

I blame Paul Ryan for deciding not to run.

Barring a miraculous entry by a Marco Rubio conservative, we need Newt. I don’t want to need him – I don’t even like him. But I don’t see how we win if we don’t clearly, firmly and unequivocally stand as conservatives. That’s not Mittens, period. It’s not Santorum on shrinking government or fiscal sanity. Newt’s a blowhard, and an egotist, no question, but his record trumps theirs.

We don’t want to say to our children and our grandchildren:

“Once upon a time, there was a great nation where we live now. Generations of people from all over the world used to come here. They risked their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to get here. Some never made it. Some who did, never saw their families again. They came because they believed that here was where they would be free. Free. You can’t imagine now what that means, but trust me, it was a gift from God. It feels almost like a dream now. Ah well, nothing lasts forever.”

Santorum’s past is just starting to catch up with him:
