Rick Santorum

Not willing to be forgotten Rick Santorum takes an aggressive stance on dealing with his opponents: Name calling.  Rick Santorum claims to be a die hard conservative and by what he says, indeed he is. The Los Angeles Times article is here. This is what the Los Angeles Times had to say on the matter:

"Standing in front of a line of uniformed cadets from the Citadel, Santorum told the crowd that the former Massachusetts governor and former House speaker had supported a mandate that all Americans have health insurance, the theory of global warming and the bailout of Wall Street banks."

Standing in front of uniformed cadets doesn't get you off the hook. Remember that only now you are trying to get the conservative vote but if you should make it to the election, you have to appeal to more moderate voters.

He is opposed to abortion and limited government. Admittedly, some people actually are for those beliefs. But all aren't. But this article is not about his views. It is about his attack on his biggest threats as of now, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney (who both seem to share four letters in their names. Whoa, they could be the best of buddies. He had this to say about his two Rivals:

'"How are we going to differentiate ourselves on the major issues of the day if we nominate Tweedledum and Tweedledee?"'
The crowd errupted into a thundering applause but 38 year old Charleston attorney, Tripp Wiles, said this: "Right now, it looks like Gingrich has a better shot,"
Hm. Not everyone is a supporter of Santorum, it seems.
