Santorum Converts to Anarchism!

Rick Santorum

Rick Santorum has been selling himself as the candidate who’s reliable and consistent, in contrast with Romney’s flop-flipping. But here’s what Santorum has said in the past:

Republicans, I think to our credit, have sort of morphed away from the Goldwater idea that government needs to be smaller, it needs to do less, it needs to be doing nothing except what its core functions are. … I am not a libertarian, and I fight very strongly against libertarian influence within the Republican Party and the conservative movement. … We are not a group of people who believe in no government. … They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues – you know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world …. There is no such society that I am aware of, where we’ve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture.

And here’s what he just said today:

We don’t need a manager. … We need someone who’s going to pull up government by the roots and throw it out … and liberate the private sector.

Um … uh … welcome to the revolution, comrade?

    I spent a brief moment toward the end of this gagging over my own bile… much like most mornings.

      I’ve always thought of him in more of a … supporting role.

        I don’t want him anywhere near those.
