I suggest you think about what I'm saying here: Rick Santorum as a Senator was a part of the group that put RINOs in charge of Congressional Republicans. He was part of the group who allowed “K” Street lobbyists to call the shots in the RNC.
If, however, you are indeed stating that fiscal conservatism and social conservatism are “irrevocably joined together”, then I agree 100%.
Richard J. Santorum is not to be trusted. But he stated a valid truth in that the message Republicans must get out to the public must explain how the Republican Party conservatives will make their lives better.
I have maintained during the past two years that the breakdown of law and order in our Justice system must be a major part of the conservative Republican message. Minorities especially are affected by this breakdown, and the Democratic Party is exacerbating the situation.
Small government people (fiscal conservatives) and moral people (social conservatives) are the same people. I implied something different in my previous comment, was that was mere clumsiness on my part.
