Even if he were a liberal he's right that you have to be stupid to think Santorum is a good candidate.

Are you a child? This isn't a football team. I don't give a **** about the Republican party. I care about the fiscal solvency of this country and the value of the money I earn.

To be honest, I never seriously thought he was going to contend for the nomination even after it was close in Iowa. That being said, I'm intrigued by the last part of your response to I Wear Pants. Could you give an example of what you mean to elaborate on your agreement with Santorum? I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from...what do you think Santorum really means with that quote?
