“Bump THAT!! Did you read the Red State article listing Santorums big-government votes? If Santorum had run in 2010 instead of 2006, the tea party would have primaried him. Hes no fiscal conservative. He doesnt understand the concept of individual liberty. Hes totally fine with legislating his values upon everyone else. (Yes, I am a Christian. Yes, I am a social conservative.)”
The difference is that Santorum is also defending fiscal conservative values while Romney is proud of his Romneycare and Newt likes to talk about his Moondoggle and how it is ‘inhumane’ to be for capitalism and controlling the border. Santorum was the one who went after Romneycare while Newt was trying to win over the Occupy vote.
How is he doing that exactly? He's not defending his record on fiscal conservative values because he can't. So it must be lip service or a johnny-come-lately conversion just like Romney.
