Attracting the Common Man - Rick Santorum

There is no doubt that the establishment within the Republican Party does not want Rick Santorum to win the nomination. The attacks on him be the media and the pundits, the misrepresentation of his positions, the millions spent by his opponents have been like a Tsunami over the last two weeks since the last debate. And yet the fellow who braved the cold Iowa winter to keep that commitment to visit every on of the 99 counties continues to stand and proclaim that the people of America deserve a real choice when electing the next president.

Mitt Romney had to outspend Rick Santorum 6 to 1 to barely win the popular vote in Michigan. at this moment he has probably outspent him 12 to 1 as we approach Super Tuesday. some people will give the Romney campaign credit for amassing such a war-chest.   But Rick Santorum is getting support from the people as well. It may not be in the million dollar bracket but it is coming form thousand upon thousands of Americans who are digging deep and saying that we believe in the importance of both social and economic conservatism.

The average American realizes that both economic and social concerns must be addressed by the nominee. There is a connection between the problems in our economy and the challenges to the family.  Of the current crop of presidential candidates, who really understands that connection? Seriously, who has an awareness borne from real life experience?  And who is is that can confront the current occupant of the white House adn challenge him on behalf of the American people?  There is one man who can answerthe call without any distractions and that man is Rick Santorum.

He does not have the albatross called Romney Care.  He does not allow the Obama machine to play the class warfare card. He understands Washington, D.C. well enough to challenge the conventional wisdom.

Certainly Rick has his challenges and the media had attacked him for those already. But compared to the other candidates,  he is pretty clean. His approach to tackling the budget resonates with average Americans. SPEND less. He wants to actually spend less money each year for the next five years as opposed to merely reducing the automatic increases that have put the country on the brink of economic disaster.

He will address the need to help re-build our manufacturing base. He will make sound judicial appointments. He will no longer fund abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood. He will reverse and repeal Obama-Care. He will put people in government who respect our men and women in uniform. And the military will no longer be a place for liberal leftist social engineering that attacks our basic foundational beliefs - such as the historic understanding of the definition of marriage. finally he will respect the right of every American to practice his or her religion without coercion form big Brother.

Common sense. Respecting our fundamental freedoms such as the right to life, liberty and private property ownership. This is what Rick stands for. He will not have government dictating that we have to buy insurance, or anything else for that matter. he believes in a smaller government that is there to support our opportunities to reach for the American dream.

Come November we need a clear alternative to the socialist who occupies the White House. 

Vote Rick Santorum.
