Oh, the perils of the times we live in. We have Mitt Romney, a Big Government activist trying to lie to us about his conservative bona fides. This forces the rest of us to pick the "Not-Romney" and it seems that by the process of elimination we are left with Rick Santorum. Oh my God!!! Santorum has been described as a Mike Huckabee without the humor. You might remember Huckabee as the man who wanted to rewrite the Constitution to be more in line with the Bible. Santorum is a man who says that he actively dislikes libertarianism because it allows too much freedom for individuals to do what they want instead of what he wants. I cannot support anyone who seeks such control over other people's lives, and will not support him if he gets the nomination.
But in reading the above link, it referenced an interview that Ronald Reagan gave to Reason Magazine in 1975. You should read it for the breathtaking insight from 37 years ago that is still so appropriate today.
Anyway, in the battle for who is the true conservative, neither Mitt nor Rick are anywhere close. But I am beginning to think that I would rather have the malleable Mitt over the restrictive Rick.

I vote for a brokered convention and maybe we can get someone not currently in the running to step up to the plate who is a true fiscal and social conservative. However, if need be, I'll hold my nose and vote for the GOP candidate just to ensure there are not another four years of "hope and change."
