No, he just hates gay people, thinks contraceptives being illegal would be cool, is another person that would probably get us in more wars, etc.

I don't get how Romney is a loser in Iowa. I've heard it several times. He wasn't projected to win, but he won. I don't care how much $ he spent per vote...he has resources no GOP candidate can match. Had Romney won Iowa 4 years ago, Huckabee would have sunk and he would have been able to beat McCain easily.

Mitt Romney was a winner last night and he will get the GOP nomination.

I'm not sure where to look it up so I will ask for those who seem to be more in the know. I keep hearing Santorum is a big government kind of guy and I'm trying to figure out where the info to back that up is located. Thanks for any help.

Do you know anything about Santorum, or just that Fox News likes him? There is nothing conservative about him, and he has zero appeal to independent voters. He would get slaughtered in a general election.

Voted for No Child Left Behind

Voted for Medicare Part D

Voted for Airline bailouts

Voted for Lautenberg Gun ban

Endorsed liberal Arlen Spector against Republican candidate in PA Senate race.

Paid $65,000 to be a lobbyist by American Continental Group

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington voted Santorum one of the most corrupt members of Congress in 2006.

According to opensecrets.org, received the most money from lobbyists of any member of Congress in 2006.

If you need sources, just google each of those statements.

Let's wake up now. The guy is a scumbag. Just because Bret Baier and Sean Hannity like him doesn't mean he is conservative at all.

Mitt Romney was a winner last night and he will get the GOP nomination.
" With fewer votes than he received in 2008, Mitt Romney might be the winner, but this was and always has been his race to lose. He will win handily in New Hampshire, but failing to decisively defeat the pack will hurt him going into South Carolina and Florida. He will be the target just as much as Rick Santorum, perhaps more so, and Republicans who are looking for someone other than Romney will unite behind Santorum, Paul, or Gingrich, whichever can have the best showing later this month.
Is Romney still the likely GOP candidate? Yes. Still, he will face a longer fight than he can afford thanks to this miniscule win. On the other side, Barack Obama’s camp can only hope that the other Republican candidates tear Romney down as much as possible, softening him up before the real showdown in November.
Mitt Romney is the weakest frontrunner either party has seen since Michael Dukakis."

And I have been told Ron Paul hates blacks, the Russians and Chinese will take over, and it wil be only a matter of time before an Iranian nuke goes off in an American city. You people crack me up with this stuff. There are plenty of reasons to oppose Santorum. Cleveland Buck listed a few.

I'll agree Dukakis was a loser, but Bob Dole may have been an even larger turd for the R's.

I'm going to agree with fish in that the full frontal assault on Santorum is pathetic and disgusting. I'm not going to vote for him, but the animosity, hatred, and indeed, foaming-at-the-mouth from all sides, especially the so-called Republicans, is troubling to hear and read. He's a piker compared to the current marxist-in-chief and the focus needs to be squarely on him, not on someone who doesn't stand a snowball's chance of winning anything.

Spot on analysis, especially the Huckleberry comment. I don't like Romney much, but he'd be a 100% improvement over the current occupier.

"no surprise that the center of the Catholic Church abuse took place in very liberal, or perhaps the nation's most liberal area, Boston.". He tried blaming the political opinions of Boston for the sexual abuses of clergy. Fucking ridiculous.

Santorum has said that he feels banning contraceptives is an acceptable action for a state. I didn't make that up. He's also absurdly anti-gay, like he's obsessed with it.

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/12/rick-santorum-has-tense-exchange-on-gay-rights-and-health-care-in-iowa/

“So what is going to be taught to our people in health class in our schools? What is going to be taught to our children about who in our stories, even to little children — what are married couples? What families look like in America? So, you are going to have in our curriculum spread throughout our curriculum worldview that is fundamentally different than what is taught in schools today? Is that not a consequence of gay marriage?”

To that I simply say:

"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.” And also, “Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that’s okay, contraception is okay. It’s not okay. It’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.”

Santorum is nuts.
