Santorum for President?

If we are ready to return to the 1920s we might consider voting for Rick Santorum. Here is a person seeking to become the President of The United States that would, if elected, attempt to set back women’s rights, the rights of gays and lesbians, overturn gays in the military, and prevent contraception. This man, who was unable to get re-elected in his own state, claims to be the conservative answer to the Republican party. That he is even a candidate for president shows how weak the republican party is today. This is a party of NO. Their entire platform is based upon undoing progress made over the past years. Conservative republicans want to return to policies of the Bush era and before the Bush era that take away rights of many Americans, fail to pay the costs of government, provide tax favors to the wealthiest among us, and reduce the safety nets of those most in need of government assistance. He obviously is against one of Americas fundamental services, public education, having home-schooled each of his seven children. How can he, as president, preside over a policy of public education when he has not experienced public education of his own children. It is unfortunate that none of the republican candidates for president have offered up positive reasons to elect them to office. Since the race for the republican nomination began, it was a circus like atmosphere with many of the hopeful candidates acting more adept at providing fodder for late-night comedians than demonstrating presidential abilities or skills. If the republican party is ever going to be important in the governing of America, far better, far more qualified, more competent candidates than Rick Santorum are needed. Most conservative is not what the country needs. Where is the most competent?
