Much more damning for Santorum is that he makes no secret of the fact that he wants America to be a Christian theocracy. Pretty bad when a U.S. politician thinks that America should be more like Iran than like a democracy.
No he didn't and you know it! Any a GOP candidate boldly professes his beliefs people like you think they wanna take over the world!
He was our best choice.....Who DIDNT get ram rodded on sound bites ??
IMO the line-up for the Repub nomination was not very strong. You had:
Mitt Romney: no position on virtually anything Rick Santorum: views on certain issues alienated some demographics
Rick Perry: "1...2...I don't remember the rest" <- pretty much says it all
Newt Gingrich: personal life hurt him, also moon colony? really?
Herman Cain: interesting, but sexual allegations hurt him. Also, being a CEO of a pizza company made him seem less serious.
Ron Paul: Libertarian. Has great ideas, but crazy ones too.
The way I see it, the GOP had to pick someone who seemed moderate while at the same time promoting right-wing views. The best choice for that was Romney, because of his "etch-a-sketch" positions, as the media called it. He was good because when the time was right, he could solidify his positions to fit the majority. The others just had too much crazy about them to be safe choices.
But those issues were not something that was insurmontable.....At that time, no one would have thought the Chief Justice would have legalized the monstrocity that is Obamacare.
Now we are running a guy against Obama who Obama will simply turn to and say "Hey...you're my hero!"
Are you not aware that he just got caught with gay dating website apps on his phone?
Your credibility is already zero. Are you shooting for in the minus?

Can you cite a link to him saying such a thing? Really??
See....anytime a Christian GOP candidate has a profess belief and and practices his faith, you guys accuse them of wanting to take over the world!
Please cite a link where he wanted to turn us into a theocracy....
Santorum as president scared me more than Romney as president does. Santorum was a loose cannon that would have waged war in every country in the middle east.The man was just nuts.
Ayatollah Rick had zero chance to win the general election. Only a tiny fringe minority are interested in putting the titular head of the Christian Taliban into a position of any real power.
Santorum was railroaded by the media just like all the other repub candidates. They gave Romney the kid glove approach because they wanted Romney to be the candidate.
This election will rest on the economy, not the ACA or gay marriage.
