Is your point Santorum wasn’t the nominee? He was most assuredly running for President in 2012.
And...
He ran largely on social issues and didn’t even win the GOP nomination.
THAT is what I’m talking about.
That is your anti-conservative argument?
Rick Santorum, the union guy who lost his seat by 17.4 %, and was a lifetime supporter of Arlen specter, and who mocked Reagan supporters, and called himself a “progressive conservative”, and who switched to being pro-life for his first campaign run?
That is lame. We are in a primary season and the last two election cycles Republicans have followed Walker’s advice. They went on to lose. So perhaps this time they should try Santorum. I bet he would do better than either McCain or Romney did.
