Hi Rick,
So far, I like most of the things he says. My problem with him is he doesn't connect with me in a leadership sense. I think due to my job I look at the leadership skills as much a their policies. He's a senator and they always come off a little whiny too me, Kerry, Edwards Obama etc..
Personally, I like to look for someone who has run a state or something, and not spent a lot of time voting on bills in congress.
Nothing against him, he just hasn't connected with me.
Just my take.
Casey

Just realized you asked what he stands for too.
He seems like a good man to me and his policies are about the same as most of the other candidates on that side with the exception of Ron Paul.
His specialty is Iran, but like most republicans, he's strong on defense, pro-life, small govt, lower taxes etc..

Casey must be reading my mind. That's exactly how I feel about the guy. I have nothing against him but he does not strike me as a leader or a visionary. Good Secretary of State material.

Somebody give me the skinny on this guy. What are your thoughts? What does he stand for or against? Thanks in advance. Here's a letter from his nephew: dailycaller.com/2012/01/03/the-trouble-with-my-uncle-rick-santorum/If you want another big-government politician who supports the status quo to run our country, you should vote for my uncle, Rick Santorum. America is based on a strong belief in individual liberty. My uncle’s interventionist policies, both domestic and foreign, stem from his irrational fear of freedom not working. It is not the government’s job to dictate to individuals how they must live. The Constitution was designed to protect individual liberty. My Uncle Rick cannot fathom a society in which people cooperate and work with each other freely. When Republicans were spending so much money under President Bush, my uncle was right there along with them as a senator. The reason we have so much debt is not only because of Democrats, but also because of big-spending Republicans like my Uncle Rick. It is because of this inability of status quo politicians to recognize the importance of our individual liberties that I have been drawn to Ron Paul. Unlike my uncle, he does not believe that the American people are incapable of forming decisions. He believes that an individual is more powerful than any group (a notion our founding fathers also believed in). Another important reason I support Ron Paul is his position on foreign policy. He is the only candidate willing to bring our troops home, not only from the Middle East, but from around the world. Ron Paul seems to be the only candidate trying to win the election for a reason other than simply winning the election. This year, I’ll vote for an honest change in our government. I’ll vote for real hope. I’ll vote for a real leader. This year, I will vote for Ron Paul. John Garver is a 19-year-old student at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. John is a strong supporter of Ron Paul despite his love for family member Rick Santorum. |

Santorum irritates me. He always has a dumb ass look on his face when the other candidates are talking, especially Ron Paul. He is a big interventionist, and somewhat of a war monger. Spread democracy through force..
