“I agree with you (talking to a caller), I think conservatism is in Santorum’s bodily fluids, and because of that he's able to articulate it without thinking about it.”

I guess Rush is too busy with Two if By Tea to look at Rick's actual record. I have studied Ricks moderate record. He's quite weak on the 2nd Amendment. His votes on the 2nd amendment alone indicates whatever is flowing through Rick, it isn't a deep respect for our Constitution.

Rush could not be more wrong.

There is no perfect candidate it's just Rick is the most conservative of those left.

I don't want to have to list all the many many horrible liberal mistakes Newt made and Mitt Romney IS a liberal mistake—and Paul is just a dang nut—they all have faults it's just that me, Rush, Mark Levin, Bill Cunningham, Michele Malkin and others see Santorum as the best choice.

That is why he is surging and will win.

I actually have no idea what Rick's stand is on the 2nd Amendment ...haven't heard him talk about it and haven't yet read his book ...but I will. Would like to hear from those who do have some info on Rick's level of support for the TRTK&BA.

It has been my experience over many years of listening, that Rush never says very much about the 2nd Amendment; unless it's as an aside to some other issue or what some pol has said regarding the TRTK&BA. Rush seems to be primarily a fiscal conservative; although he does pay some attention to other Constitutional issues.

Now, if someone was trying to ban golf clubs or put a high tax on greens fees or ban pro football, I am sure that would draw an immediate and vociferous response from Rush ...but the 2nd Amendment seems more of a philosophical exercise w/Rush; not something that he really considers part of his world; other than, perhaps, hypothetically for his 5-man, executive security detail (which I presume he has; or at least SHOULD have.)

Take care,

-Geoff

Which 2nd Amendment votes? I've been following that issue for 20 years and from what I remember, Santorum's one of the better ones out there.

Romney's about as bad as Obama on that issue. He signed a ban. R

Both the NRA and GOA give Santorum higher lifetime ratings than Newt.

Just sayin'.
