Santorum vs. Obama

If the Election were today, who would you vote for?


  • Total voters
    69
His virtues are far superior to the vices of liberals.

His views on SSM, abortion, and marijuana(just off the top of my head) are awful, and I can't support that crap.
 
Obama's incompetence does not change my view of Santorum. If the choice was between the two I would vote 3rd party or not at all.

Wow!!! A libertarian that would vote for a 3rd party! Now that is a novel approach. Pfffft!
 
Obama isn't incompetent, he is trying to destroy the America we know! Look at his past, who he is, and was involved with. He is a Saul Alinsky Radical!

Good grief. Obama has been nothing more than a moderate as president.

Thanks for confirming what I had said.

I guess anything to the right of Karl Marx would appear to be moderate to a very liberal person.
 
I did. They are far different from the extreme leftwing ideologue's policies.

Well if legislating morality is "far from the left wing ideologues policies," then so be it. He's insane. He, hopefully, will not reach a position to enforce his theocratic reign.

...and anything that's not utter Conservatism would appear to be Liberal to you

There will be no theocratic reign as no one has proposed one. Your hysteria is noted though.

That is not true. I am just commenting on the hyperbolic hysteria that liberals and libertarians have made here. If there were no hyperbole or hysteria being used here, I would not even have a reason to post anything other than responding to the OP by saying that I would vote for Santorum over Obama, which is exactly what I did.

You must not have heard him speak...

He's a more evangelical version of Perry (which is terrifying).

No, YourStar made a valid point and you let your partisan-hackery take over.

I have heard him speak many times and I have even watched him at two town hall meetings this weekend. No, neither Perry nor Santorum are terrifying. Obama is much closer to that than these two fine gentlemen.

LOL! You don't get to decide that. You may need to stick to your hyperbolic hysteria. It seems to suit you well.
 
Rick Santorum:
100% Pro-Gun

Would repeal and replace ObamaCare with Patient-Centered Healthcare

Would cut spending & Taxes

Strong on Iran, and would stand strong with Isreal

100% Pro-Life

A strong believer in American Exceptionalism


Barack Obama:

Anti-Gun

Socalist healthcare

Only cuts Taxes when his poll numbers are low, but has raised Taxes otherwise

Doesn't care about Iran much, unless he wants to get reelected

100% Anti-Life, it's in ObamaCare

And hates American Exceptionalism

I go for Santorum!

Yes they are. How is Obama scarier than Santorum? Again, wanting to bypass the Constitution so that he may legislate morality is idiotic.

Woah a conservative who will blindly support yet another sub-par phony "small government" candidate. Shocking to say the least

As have I, and I used to think he had no chance of winning at all, but now I'm starting to have some hope. Not Obama hope!

I don't get to decide what?

Democrats did the same thing in 2008 only they dressed it up, pictured it as the messiah, called it hope and change - but it was the same sub-par phoney candidate. IF Santorum did the same thing as Obama with one difference... cut the government by 20% across the board, he'd get my vote and a re-election vote.

Santorum:

He's going to cut spending yet plans to bomb and "be strong" on Iran, do you realize you just contradicted yourself?

He's going to cut taxes in a time when we need money to start paying off this debt, great. :roll:

Why stand with Israel?

American Exceptionalism, eh?
http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2011/10/11/the_myth_of_american_exceptionalism

Obama:

Anti-gun how?
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2008/sep/23/national-rifle-association/yes-and-outlaw-apple-pie-as-well/

"Socalist healthcare?" His health care system is based off the one in Southern California?

Anti-Life? Please cite sources that Obama is "anti-life."

Obama is quoted as saying: "I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism." Being a realist doesn't mean he hates American Exceptionalism.

I'm registered as a Republican. I'm going to vote in the Republican primary, and I'm hoping to vote for the Republican nominee in the general election. I don't line up really well with the GOP on several issues, but right now I think they represent this country's only hope of a positive recovery from our current economic problems.

But if they nominate Santorum, I swear on the blood of my ancestors I'll vote to re-elect President Obama.

Exactly.........

You don't understand how bad Iran is, do you?

That is up to the people of Iran to decide don't you think?

And I'm more than willing to help them but I don;t think a war will accomplish much.
