Vote Rick Santorum if you want Obama 2012

      Mr. Santorum would be fine if he were merely a big government Republican like Newt, he would be fine if he were merely a flip flopper like Romney, he would even be fine if he were as inarticulate as Rick Perry. However, he is not graced in these failures. No, Mr. Santorum falters in a way that makes it almost unforeseeably dangerous.  

      He is the one candidate that makes Obama look like a peaceful hippy quite honestly, and that is why if Republicans want to lose 2012, they’ll pick him. I know this is post will either be berated extremely, or ignored completely, however I can’t in clear conscious let the Iowa Caucus go by without doing SOMETHING. And so it’s because of this that I am compelled to spell it out, why Santorum is the worst candidate in the Republican field.

      First of all, he makes Nixon look like Reagan (‘nuff said). He supported the Liberal Arlen Specter, a person who was pro-abortion, pro-affirmative action, and pro-amnesty for the senate. He was named the most corrupt member of congress by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. These two things automatically make him ridiculous as the candidate without considering his other qualities that would kill him in the major election.

      In the General Election, the goal is to gain at least SOME of the Independents. Please tell me, how do we hope that a person who is as anti-gay as he is will somehow magically gain support when much of the U.S. is shown to be pro-LGBT rights? The other candidates aren’t half as intolerant as he is, or at least not as blatantly so. Do you suppose that the few LGBT voters that could be pulled in would actually support someone like this? Please. Also, he is in full support of the War on Drugs. Past the fact that it has been ineffective, past the fact that it’s cost more lives than any it would have saved, past the fact that it can be determined as unconstitutional, the fact is that many of the people in the U.S. are tired of it! How can we hope that this deluded man can gain ANY of the Independent votes? We would have to be as deluded as he is to hope for that.

      Next, is his foreign policy. It’s tolerable that most of the candidates are for an offensive foreign Policy. Do I like it? No. Could I still support some of them? Sure. However, this guy goes over board to an extreme. He recently said that he would order Iran to shut down their nuclear plants, and if they didn’t, he would bomb them. Excuse me, but that is what we like to call an Act of War. That really will be the final straw and we will be in war with Iran before the end of 2013 if this man is in office. I guarantee you. Not only is this idea of his a sure fire way to get into another war (funny how he’s never been in the service, right?), it is totally blind to the repercussions that such actions would have on an international level. Do you think that Russia would let this happen? What about China? Are we really so blind as to believe that these two countries will let the money they threw into Iran simply be blown up? That is wishful thinking.  

      But let’s be honest. If Santorum gets the Nomination, we will have another four years of Obama. Whether you like it or not, there is a large group of anti-war voters. If it is only to avoid a war with Iran, they will go to Obama. So let’s look at this now. If we have Santorum, we lose the LGBT voters, the Independents, the Anti-War voters, and I will promise you he won’t get the Ron Paul supporters without a doubt.
