how can anyone honestly answer such a question before the primary season is over? I will say, what I have from day 1, I will vote for the Republican that is on the ticket. The exception, I might swing to Johnson but I don't think so.

Then you're lying. If you truly were conservative, you wouldn't vote for Obama over Santorum.

Then in this country kill every American who disagrees with you, throw them in jail forever they throw away the key. <--- Clearly this is the type of president and government we need right?

The only biblical values needed are PERSONAL ones not to be forced on others. I think in this lifetime we have seen enough religious and biblical values of which PEOPLE distort for the control of others. The problem with people is they have been brainwashed into the need to control others. Control what they do, what they eat, what they say and most of all to control others because in some way they think if they have more power in government they can "fix things" The constitution was written by man, as was the bible and both of them are listed to PROTECT and INFORM the INDIVDUAL they are not to used as a powerful tool to control groups, other religions and how one should live.

A government is force.. and when force is somehow the teaching of jesus christ then you are the one who is using force to destory the very thing Jesus tried to teach. Government is not the judgement of sinners is the judgements of men who stand before other men based on the simple RULES OF NATURE! no killing, and stealing of which is right in the constitution and was in many places before that when building a society.
Brash overkill. Rick Santorum will not impose Christianity on anyone anymore than Barack Obama did.

Santorum doesn't have a chance in HECK of making serious in-roads with moderates. That means he'd get blasted by Obama or most other democrats in a laugher of a presidential election.

Remember, the pres election is about getting the undecided 1/3 to join up with your kool-aid guzzling bases. (for both parties)

If Santorum would tone down his religion he might have a chance, but that's what he's running on.

I did not say that I would vote for Obama. I just said that I would not vote for Santorum.

Yeah the trick of running to the left or right in primaries and then heading for the middle in the general election ONLY works if you don't run SO FAR to the extreme in the primaries that you alienate the middle.

Santorum is toasty toast but that's just my opinion as a moderate that has voted for 3 different parties in the last 3 elections lol.

The Republican (Coleman) wasn't the fiscal conservative in the 1998 MN gubernatorial election. Ventura (Independent) was.
