Jeff Goldstein makes the case that uber-Catholic Santorum will be less of a threat to our liberties than uber-Progressive Obama.

Moreover, that Santorum’s willingness to defend his positions will ultimately redound to his advantage. Even people who disagree will say “Hey, at least he holds his opinions honestly. And honestly, I need a job.”

Sure the progressive cultural lobbies (feminists, gay activists) will freak, but that’s like saying the sun will rise on the morrow or that a thing cannot both be and not be at the same time. It is axiomatic in the Democratic Party that the GOP nominee HATES(!) womyn and gheys. Hence their response to same is as the tides: regular as clockwork.

So what do we gain by nominating a milquetoast moderate from Massachusetts?

Aside from an excuse that conservatism cannot be blamed, I mean.
