“Because he’s not Mitt Romney.”
Because Rick Santorum was a CONSERVATIVE! Mark Levin said he was one of the most conservative senators in the past 50 years.
And he received an A+ rating from the NRA, and here’s one of the many reasons why:
‘“He [Rick Santorum] was the most effective advocate of bringing it [legislation to protect gun companies from frivolous lawsuits] to the floor and getting a vote scheduled. He used his influence to get it to the floor. Without that, we would have lost every American gun company.”
– Wayne LaPierre, CEO – National Rifle Association, October 25, 2006’

People, like Rush, who actually did their research, KNEW how conservative Rick is:
“Rush: Santorum is last real conservative still standing
Rush contends that Santorum is winning now because he is the last real conservative still standing and that if the establishment were right, Romney would be winning everything and the race would already be over.
To the question of whether Santorum has ‘broad appeal’, Rush reframes it to “Does conservatism, properly explained, cheerfully proclaimed, have broad appeal?” He says it does every time it’s tried, it’s just that it doesn’t get tried enough. But it is essential to paint the stark contrast to Obama’s policies and Santorum can do it”

Too bad Rick didn’t have more money.
