I’ve gotta agree with you. Rick Perry may get tongue-tied and slip gears once in a while, but his mind and heart are (mostly) in the right place.
Some of Santorum’s recent statements show that he’s a different animal altogether. He’s not slipping gears. This is who he is.
Santorum is prone to gaffes like Biden.
Lets put it this way, If Obama had said what Rick S said, virtually all the santy supporters would be slamming Obama for it. Obama’s remarks were stupid, and typical Obama, but Santorums’s were beyond the pale, they were the most inane, stupid, idiotic, careless, unethical, and cruel (to zimmerman), remarks that I have very seen from a candidate for prez. Santorum’s idiocy is breathtaking.
