Metaphorically
Rick Santorum should believe in God. The fact that he’s still in this race is a tribute to some higher power or, more likely, the weakness of the GOP’s bench. It’s also a tribute to his appeal to the sort of Republican who hates both birth control and abortion—breeders, as @Azrielenish calls them.
Now, I see that Santorum is about to make a huge mistake and focus on jobs. HUGE. MISTAKE.
He’s never going the win the argument that he knows money better the Ritchie Mitt, even if Mitt is and was dead wrong about saving Detroit. He can focus on manufacturing a bit, but too much he’ll be giving the election away.
This is his chance to be the Not-Romney of all Not-Romneys and to do this, he has to go a place that fills him with dread. Where? A woman’s uterus.
Rick Santorum needs to focus almost entirely on LIFE.
Mitt Romney was ostensibly Pro-Choice until he was in he was in his late 50s. You have iPods and ketchup packets older than Romney’s Pro-Life beliefs. Romneycare not only covered abortions (and undocumented workers and gay couples), it covered the exact birth control mandate that has been in the news all week. Why no GOP candidate has gone after for him for this in a sustained way evades me. If the Santorum campaign can get a few dimes together to put some ads on in the U.P., just air ANY 30 seconds of this clip.
Can you trust Mitt Romney when it comes to life? That’s the one question you should ask every time you get in front of a mic, Rick. It exposes Mitt’s two huge problems—he lied about his pro-choice beliefs his entire political career and he’ll say anything to be elected.
Some argue Democrats should vote for Santorum in the GOP Primary. Your host, Chris Savage is against this and I don’t think it’s necessary. If Rick Santorum puts on his big Not-Romney pants and talks life and a little manufacturing, Mitt’s done.
