If Santorum is the nominee, I will vote for him. He is a good man. Just don’t tell me he is a fiscal conservative, he is not. The only fiscal conservatives in the race are Newt (maybe) and Paul (definitely). I would include Perry, but Perry is out of it.
If you include Newt as a fiscal conservative, then you have to include Santorum as a fiscal conservative.
Newt as Speaker produced zero balanced budgets in his term.
Newt in the house has seen exactly zero balanced budgets in his entire time that he has served the public in the House.
Paul, yes. Paul is significantly better than Newt and somewhat better than Santorum on fiscal issues. If that’s your one and only primary concern, then you should be voting for Paul, not Newt.
