Why I hope Santorum bests Romney tonight... and in SC


Obviously, I am not a conservative voter in any way, but I do hope Santorum wins in Iowa and South Carolina to prolong the GOP primary battles for as long as possible, and exposes his radical Tea Party agenda for what it is. Santorum does NOT hide his theocratic and war-mongering views like Romney does. From Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish abut Santorum:

A list of the government interventions that Santorum endorses includes national service, promotion of prison ministries, "individual development accounts," publicly financed trust funds for children, community-investment incentives, strengthened obscenity enforcement, covenant marriage, assorted tax breaks, economic literacy programs in "every school in America" (his italics), and more. Lots more.

Santorum would use the constitution to over-rule state decisions on marriage and abortion; he would launch a new war with Iran; and he would initiate a full-fledged industrial policy. He is the candidate of holy war at home and abroad. And you thought social issues had lost their grip on the Republican base.
