This is the kind of statement that shows why Santorum can’t get elected. He’s basically insulting all college students by saying that they’re mindless drones incapable of resisting the brainwashing, and anyone but a conservative hearing this is going to think he’s paranoid. Even if the statement is true, there is no point in saying it. It can only lose you votes.
This from the guy who has a B.A., an M.B.A., and a J.D.? That’s, what, nine years of college? Having your kids go to college is like owning a house, it’s part of the American Dream everyone wants for their family.
I had thought Santorum was my guy a few months ago, but this is the kind of thing that’s made me switch to Gingrich. Santorum is not ready for prime time.
