Quote from Max E. Pad:
You keep on attacking conservatives based on Santorum, and what you have said, about wanting to see social conservatism on trial is actually a line that Lawrence Odonnell has been pushing.
I am not going to say that you are "copying" ODonell, as we have been able to have civil discourse tonight, but i will say this.
Mitt Romney is not a social conservative, nor is he a small government conservative,(though he is pretending to be about small government) and everyone knows that.
So if Santorum was in any way representative of the republican party as a whole, why is it that he cant gain any traction even though Romney is one of the most unpopular republicans in history?
If Santorum, and his craziness was an accurate representation of where Republicans stand overall, then why is it he cant even beat a moderate like Mitt Romney, who republicans dont even like, and the tea party hates?
There is a much larger number of (libertarians) socially liberal, fiscally conservative people like myself than you guys want to admit.
The fact is most people on the right these days care much more about the size/scope of government, than any of these social issues, and the media is the one who is painting the false narrative that somehow a nut like Santorum represents the entire party. You are pretending Santorum is representative of the party, when really the only person i can think of who is that far out on this site is Peil.
