Rick Santorum Repulses Independent and Moderate Voters

Support of evangelists will not make up for independents, moderates, and women Santorum turns away

Back to argument

I wouldn't say repulse is the right word, but as someone who has gay friends, I wouldn't vote for him. Being Libertarian, I also can't vote for Obama. So I'm torn.

I guess I will be casting a protest vote this election.

Agree. GOP candidates are focused on their base at the expense of actual voting demographics: minorities, women, gays, youth, independents. Except for Paul, they're campaigning as if only older, white, conservative (mostly) men will show up at the polls in November. War talk and statements that come across as anti-choice for women will catch up with them in November - in a negative way.

Social Issues Are Constitutional Issues&Should Not Be Ignored: http://bit.ly/xNs9CU I disagree with your assumptions,Santorum also talks to voters publicly about the other issues see: http://t.co/fvEWEV4T,but the liberal media only focuses on the social issues when they report about him.
