Rick Santorum is no conservative. He is a collectivist who believes the role of government is to shape society and the economy in the mold of his personal vision.

Real conservatives believe freedom best allows society and the economy to flourish, and they also believe the role of government is to protect life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness. Rick Santorum has made clear he disagrees with that. Because of his voting record and unabashed views, there is no disputing that Rick Santorum is a Republican In Name Only.

Rick Santorum Doesn't Understand Freedom:
"This whole idea of personal autonomy -- I don't think that most conservatives hold that point of view. Some do. And they have this idea that people should be left alone to do what they want to do, that government should keep taxes down, keep regulation down, that we shouldn't get involved in the bedroom, that we shouldn't be involved in cultural issues, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world. And I think that most conservatives understand that we can't go it alone, that there is no such society that I'm aware of where we've had radical individualism and it has succeeded as a culture." -Rick Santorum

Rick Santorum Doesn't Understand Federalism:
"I’m a very strong supporter of the 10th amendment … but the idea that the only things that the states are prevented from doing are only things specifically established in the Constitution is wrong. Our country is based on a moral enterprise. Gay marriage is wrong. As Abraham Lincoln said, states do not have the right to do wrong. And so there are folks here who said states can do this and I won’t get involved in that. I will get involved in that because the states, as a president I will get involved because the states don’t have a right to undermine the basic fundamental values that hold this country together. America is an ideal. It’s not just a constitution, it is an ideal. It’s a set of morals and principles that were established in that declaration, and states don’t have the right, just like they didn’t have the right to do slavery." -Rick Santorum
