Santorum isn't a favorite with all conservatives:
This is from Fits News, a SC conservative blog. Here is the 411 on this blog:
We are hard core fiscal conservatives. We pledge allegiance to the Laffer Curve, activity-based budgeting, spending limits and market forces. On social issues, we are primarily libertarians but readily admit that Aaron Sorkin and Annie Savoy have corrupted our good girl, Calvinist upbringings. Our foreign policy views tend to lean toward blowing people off the face of the earth.
Blog entry:
Weve never put much stock in the birther movement, nor do we pay particular attention when people try to convince us that Barack Obama is a Muslim.
Where Obama was born and what he believes is irrelevant to us

Not only did Santorum walk back his faith criticism (or attempt to), he also acknowledged that he supported free prenatal testing as long as insurance companies werent forced to provide it.
There are all sorts of prenatal testing which should be provided free, Santorum said. I have no problem with that if the insurance companies want to. Im not for any of these things to be forced.
Hmmmm

Why cant Santorum just make those points? Why is he trying to use this issue as some sort of indictment of Obamas personal faith?
Thats not only politically inadvisable, its wrong at least if you subscribe to the judge not lest ye be judged school of thought (which we were under the impression Santorum did).

Fits is written by a real piece of work. He does have a lot of political connections, and I read him for unsubstantiated gossip that turns out to be true a lot of time. His views are more widespread than thought.
