I am an old man now. I will be 77 on March 22. While I have always been interested in politics, studied the candidates, and voted, I never managed to get so engrossed in politics until I met Rick Santorum this year.
At the time of the meeting, I was impressed with what he had to say but was uncertain how to vote. I knew I would vote for someone – anyone other than Barack Obama. Obama is smart, eloquent, and a master at placing blame. In that respect, he is no different from most politicians. The thing that I dislike about Obama is that he seems to have little respect for the United States Constitution.
Rick Santorum has his flaws. Even the opposition of Rick's own party are engaged in character assassination at this very moment. In spite of the controversy that may surround him, he is, in my mind, the best man to head the team that will hopefully make Obama's Presidential career short-lived.
I like Santorum and will support him for several reasons. First, he knows what it is like to be an underdog. Twice in his political career he has overcome the opposition. He can – and I believe he might be the only one who can - do the same in November.
Second, if he does not gain the nomination, he will do all in his power to support his party's choice without hesitation. There will be no animosity, and no back-biting. That primarily goes before, during, and after the election.
Third, Rick is a family man – always has been and always will be. He believes thoroughly in “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” - life for all citizens of this great republic – even the unborn.
Fourth, Mr. Santorum not only has read, but understands what the United States Constitution is and how it was designed to be changed. The Bill of Rights and other amendments show exactly how the constitution is to be changed. He also knows the difference between a republic and a democracy. Not many others – including news commentators - seem to know that difference.
Finally, Mr. Santorum believes in a power greater than himself – greater even than great god government. He knows who his shepherd is and does not cram it down our throats: He lives his beliefs on a daily basis and will continue to live them when he arrives at The White House. Nothing teaches like example.
Study the man. Study all the others. Then choose for yourself who can best represent us in the upcoming election.
