I don’t have a deep seated hate of Rick. I just think he has not told us what he intends to do as President, and that makes him a very non substantive candidate.
I could like Santorum on a number of issues, and I give him a BIG thumbs up for the way he talks about freedom, but talk is easy, and specific proposals are hard. Just as bad, so far I’m not seeing anyone effectively responding to the bulk of the questions about him and many of his Senate votes. (See editor-surveyor’s long list on multiple threads, which is part of what got me really doubting; I am not going to repeat it here.)
