Why Rick Santorum Connects With The Heartland

Rick Santorum not only possesses an extremely admirable track record as a conservative powerhouse during his sixteen years in the Congress and Senate, he has made the best and most consistent case for conservatism during this campaign season.

Even before the final results had been determined in Missouri, Minnesota, and Colorado, the liberal media cabal was in high gear incessantly reminding America that the decisive wins by Rick Santorum were not legally binding. Thus, his incredibly strong showing did not officially guarantee a windfall of delegates for him at the Republican National Convention. Of course only a few weeks back these same people were falling all over themselves, trumpeting the significance of Mitt Romney’s “win” in the Iowa caucuses, which likewise did not accrue delegates to any candidate. Even more significantly, they all went completely silent regarding Iowa once the actual count revealed that Romney in fact did not win, but was edged back to second place, behind Santorum.

Admittedly, media hypocrisy is nothing new, though it may have sunk to new depths during the course of the 2012 Republican primary contest. The same network mouthpieces who could never be bothered to notice the incessant lewdness of the Clinton White House were relentless in their efforts to defame Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich over every alleged impropriety. In essence, any Republican who dared to challenge Romney could expect a backlash on several fronts, including from Romney himself, along with his “Super PAC” surrogates, and predictably abetted by those objective and impartial experts on the nightly news.

Because your "heartland" is bunch of redneck bigots who just like Rick Santorum hate gays, women, blacks, hispanics, immigrants, basically anyone who doesn't look like them.

It is hilarious to watch the big bad GOP commit political suicide almost every week. So on behalf of the President and all democrats, Thank You for another 4 years GOP.

If Santorum is the nominee, I can't imagine that he is electable in the general election. He brings his religious beliefs into everything he stands for. Unfortunately, the majority of the country does NOT share his belief system and does not want to be governed based on religion.
