Oh Santorum is a good Republiican now? Because I remember when conservatives picked up their pitchforks and wanted him run out after he backed Specter.
I didn't say Santorum was a “good” Republican.
I said we need to seriously vet him against the other potential GOP candidates now.
Santorum and Cain are the only two candidates I am considering now, that don't make me barf in my mouth.
I would rather know all the negatives beforehand of both candidates, before I decide.
Cain will be hard to judge, because I don't have that much time to listen to ALL of his radio show comments, if I can even get to all of them.
Santorum is a bit harder to judge, because I have to understand his voting choices, given the number of yes or no legislative votes he is on record for casting.
And yes, backing someone like Specter against Toomey is not a tick on the positive side for Santorum...so I hear.
But since I have no real knowledge regarding the merits of Specter vs Toomey, it's not a real big negative for me right now.
After all, certain elements of the GOP still hate that Scott won, and Crist not only failed to gain the GOP nomination as a Republican, but he also failed to screw up the electorate as an “Independant” spoiler candidate.
Crist was always, ever and only a RINO, and he deeply resented Republicans who noticed that.
Oh well!
I won't disregard Santorum out of hand, since for all I know, Toomey was more a “Crist’ candidate, and possibly even worse than Specter.
Can we vet him now?
