Only Santorum Addresses Values Issues that Concern Voters

Rick Santorum connects on social issues in a way Mitt Romney has not

Back to argument

I think those who smoke crack believe he knows about the virtues to get America back on track.

Anyone can be overwhelmed by the destruction and complete idiocy that Bush lead us through the beginning of this decade with.

I think the issues this round should be the economy and not what men think women should be able to do with their bodies. He is and will always be completely under educated in tact and in the way this country was founded.

Not only does he believe pregnancy through rape should be cherished but also the 1960 speech given by Kennedy on separation of church and state makes him physically ill just demonstrates he does not grasp anything.

His moral views cloud his judgement on what would be good for the nation as a whole. As well as being a hypocrite saying the government shouldn't allow the CHOICE of conception and abortion, but the Christian community should SUPPRESS the freedom of Americans who do not believe in that same religion.

He needs to go back and read the constitution and objectively read it. But then if he doesn't believe in objectively reading the bible and doesn't believe in a bit of evolution, then how can he see the evolution of America.

Fixes to this battered economy and our tarnished reputation made by the GOP take more than 4 years to fix. If you allowed Bush 4 years to wreak it, you should at least allow the man fixing it to have the same time.

But then again those who believe in Romney and Santorum completely don't understand what they are taking about. The are the same ones who believe the spoon fed lives told to them by these nominees.

Obama can't change gas prices.

Freedom of religion is not just for Christianity.

Men should not decide the health of women.

Wanting people to be educated is not socialism. It is allowing ourselves to be educated. The most talented minds in our history came from poverty. We should nourish minds. That is where the quality of living is dying. Other countries revel in it.

Remember this country was all immigrants at one time.

Our freedoms come established from those who knew real oppression of religion and government mandated religion.

We have rights, and they should never be taken away, not even petition. If we let the WBC do it, lifers get to do it, Occupy should be able to too.

Freedom in this country is for everyone, not just a certain group.

I am 25 and I understand the constitution more than these middle aged and up men. I am religious too. But I am American and believe in freedom, and these men are the opposite of that.

"Is Rick Santorum More Electable than Mitt Romney?"

When one views Mr. Obama's record, I would think that "any" Republican candidate could whoop the incumbent in November by a revelation's landslide.

There has simply been far, far, too numerous negative entails surrounding Mr. Obama as well as his Democrat Party. After all, they had total control of the Executive and Legislative branches for two years at the beginning of his administration and they accomplished nothing, that is, with the exception of deteriorating our county to the equivalent of a "landfill" status!

I also believe the Republicans will re-establish themselves to pick up the majority in the U.S. Senate too.

Mr. Obama has simply been overwhelmed. We truly need a president with leadership qualities, and I believe Mr. Obama has failed all of us on a critical level.
